Teradata 12.0 - An Assessment
David Stodder at intelligent enterprise takes a closer look at Teradata 12.0, the latest release. Must Read.
Teradata’s 12.0 release is intended to satisfy the need for enterprise data warehouses to support today’s rapid pace of operational decision-making. One major challenge is to enable systems to load data continuously at the same time that they handle a large number of queries. Traditional data warehouses, which were not designed to address timeliness issues, separate these tasks by loading data in batch during off hours; in contrast, “active” operational data warehouses have to load data in the same time frame as they provide updates to users.

..Teradata is elevating the profile of master data management as well. The company is developing its MDM software on technology it gained and controls through a 2005 partnership with i2 Technologies. Teradata 12.0 manages MDM centrally from the enterprise data warehouse and employs the technology much like an extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) process to ensure data quality and consistency of definitions. The company is expanding its implementation of MDM to include version management so organizations can see what their master data looked like at specific points in time. Teradata also is integrating MDM with data modeling tools and publishing services so that new and existing definitions can be consolidated, managed and communicated more effectively.
