Technology and products

Teradata offers three main services to its customers: cloud and hardware-based data warehousing, business analytics, and consulting services. [44] In September 2016, the company launched Teradata Everywhere, which allows users to submit queries against public and private databases. The service uses massively parallel processing across both its physical data warehouse and cloud storage, including managed environments such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, VMware, and Teradata's Managed Cloud and IntelliFlex. [45] [46] Teradata offers customers both hybrid cloud and multi-cloud storage. [47] In March 2017, Teradata introduced Teradata IntelliCloud, a secure managed cloud for data and analytic software as a service. IntelliCloud is compatible with Teradata's data warehouse platform, IntelliFlex. [48]

Big data

Teradata began to market with the term "big data" in 2010. CTO Stephen Brobst attributed the rise of big data to "new media sources, such as social media."[49] The increase in semi-structured and unstructured data gathered from online interactions prompted Teradata to form the "Petabyte club" in 2011 for its heaviest big data users.[50]

The rise of big data resulted in many traditional data warehousing companies updating their products and technology.[51] For Teradata, big data prompted the acquisition of Aster Data Systems in 2011 for the company’s MapReduce capabilities and ability to store and analyze semi-structured data.[52]

Competition

Teradata's main competitors are similar products from vendors such as Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and SAP IQ, as well as Hadoop-based distributions and other open source technologies.
