“The Data Warehouse Appliance 2580 is our third-generation appliance and a member of the Teradata Purpose-Built Platform Family,” said Randy Lea, Vice President of products and services, Teradata. “The Data Warehouse Appliance provides a lower cost entry point for business analytics. It also offers a seamless migration to our Active Enterprise Data Warehouse platform when customers require it.”
Enhancements to the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance make it a scalable analytic engine for customers wanting to infuse intelligence into their enterprise.

Data scalability has been increased by two times over the previous version with the addition of one terabyte drives. Depending on customers’ analytic needs, the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance can now scale from two terabytes to over 500 terabytes of user data.

The documentation has been rewritten and simplified, with step-by-step instructions. This version of the appliance also offers co-residency like the previous versions, which is the technical capability to connect and work in tandem with the previous version and future versions of the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance. Data loading has now been simplified with the introduction of Teradata EasyLoader, which offers customers a single-step execution to easily load data into the appliance.
