Teradata has released Warehouse Appliance 2580, which leverages the power of Teradata Database 13, with Intel Xeon Nehalem processors that are capable of hyper-threading.
The company claims that the new appliance offers up to two-times the performance of the previous version with the addition of one terabyte drives. It can scale from two terabytes to over 500 terabytes of user data.
The Teradata Database, combined with the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance, offers improved query optimiser performance and in-database data mining and geospatial capabilities, the company said.
According to Teradata, the new appliance is capable of co-residency, which is the technical capability to connect and work in tandem with the previous version and future versions of the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance.

“With the Teradata Platform Family, we are able to offer the right platform, at the right price, and give customers the confidence that they won’t outgrow the power of Teradata.
