The upgraded Teradata IntelliFlex and new Teradata IntelliBase platforms will give customers choice and flexibility to support wide-ranging workloads, budgets and technologies.
Teradata, the leading data and analytics company, today announced an all-memory update to its flagship Teradata IntelliFlex platform that delivers extreme performance and storage density in a single, ultra-efficient cabinet. The upgrades are empowered by a move to all solid state drives (SSD), which makes it possible to reduce required data center space while delivering a massive increase in processing power for mission-critical analytics at the speed-of-thought. Teradata also announced the new, ready-to-run Teradata IntelliBase platform – revolutionary in its single cabinet support for multiple software technologies, re-deployable hardware, and low commodity hardware price-point.
In a statement, the Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Teradata, Oliver Ratzesberger said, “We specifically designed IntelliFlex to meet these demands inexhaustibly. By transitioning to all SSDs we now provide an all-memory appliance capable of delivering up to seven times the compute power per cabinet of our previous product – plus rapid performance elasticity that is simply unmatched in our market. We are providing our customers with more performance, more storage, and more memory in the same footprint, and at half the energy consumed per unit of performance delivered.”
Features of the new IntelliFlex cabinet (compared to the previous generation product) include:
- Massive, up to 7.5x increase in processing power for compute-intensive analytics using dual 18-core Intel Xeon processors
- Faster execution of data warehouse analytics with speeds up to 4.5x greater
- Lower data center costs by enabling up to 3.5x customer data space
- Reduced carbon footprint with up to 2x performance per kW of energy used
IntelliBase features:
- Multiple technologies packaged into a single, low-cost, data-center-friendly cabinet
- Complete, single-vendor support for Teradata Database, Aster Analytics, and Hadoop
- Support for Teradata ecosystem enabling applications: QueryGrid, Unity, Data Mover, Ecosystem Manager, Viewpoint, Listener, and more….
- Investment protection with hardware that can be redeployed between technologies with software re-imaging
Teradata IntelliBase and the new all-SSD IntelliFlex products will be available in Q2 2017. Both products will be available on Teradata IntelliCloud later this year.
