Teradata on Unstructured Data

April 25, 2010

Teradata is one of the search vendors who don’t make headlines in faux news releases. The company licenses its industrial strength structured data management and content processing platform to those with “big data” needs. Teradata’s approach is to target specific opportunities and work with its partners. ComputerWeekly.com published “Interview: Teradata CTO Stephen Brobst on the Challenges of Unstructured Data.” Three nuggets from the interview made their way into my Teradata file:

  • Teradata wants to work with partners who can integrate their numerical recipes in the Teradata technology. Teradata is working with Attensity and SAS at this time.
  • Teradata has experienced some interest from intelligence agencies “around the world”
  • “Brobst says initial loading of the data warehouse is best done via optical storage media, but all updates and access are then via the Web.”
