Teradata: Future of Databases

Abstract

The data is constantly increasing and thus accommodating huge amount of data and faster processing of data has become a must.Oracle RDBMS can help to a certain extent but its sequential processing limits its processing power. In the business environment data has to be delivered to customers on time so when we deal with large scale data warehouses it's a must that processing power is high. The Teradata RDBMS was designed to eliminate the technical pitfalls of data warehousing with parallel processing as one of its outstanding features. It was designed to perform parallel processing and to store terabytes of data thereby making it efficient and one of the fastest data warehouses to work with. Also it has the unique feature of prioritizing a query if it is required to be completed on urgent basis. Teradata also has the ability to fetch data from other databases like Hadoop and Aster without any overhead and without impacting the Teradata system.
