Teradata Appliance for Hadoop

Teradata Appliance for Hadoop is the configured platform, the hardware and software system ready to work. In a set of a HSS it is offered at choice of Hadoop from Hortonworks (HDP 2.3) or Cloudera Enterprises 5.4.

On July 21, 2015 the Teradata corporation announced release of the Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform of version 5. According to the statement of the developer, the hardware and software system will provide the flexibility allowing to reduce time of an investment payback and to reduce the cost of ownership of the Hadoop system.

Teradata Appliance for Hadoop, 2015

The Teradata platform helps to solve the problems arising at some companies at Hadoop implementation, reducing time to market using completely worked solution of a corporate class - it will reduce total ownership cost and will simplify integration into the infrastructure solution Teradata Unified Data Architecture (UDA) (for the analysis of all types of data provided by the Teradata systems).

The HSS of Teradata Appliance for Hadoop will help to accelerate implementation of the distributed data processing using Hadoop from Cloudera or Hortonworks. It is the industry-first configured platform allowing to satisfy specific needs of the enterprise concerning performance or amount of data. The platform of a corporate class delivered by a set simplifies and accelerates Hadoop deployment, reducing total ownership cost at many levels - from installation and integration to operation process. The Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform on the basis of Cloudera or Hortonworks is provided with the technical support of a world class provided by Teradata corporation round the clock around the world.

The acting generation of the software of Hadoop offers the organizations an opportunity to manage the growing and various workloads - from batch processing of extreme data sets before data analysis in real time. The Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform - the first that gives to consumers freedom of choice and allows to satisfy quickly the specialized needs for the relation of analytical performance and data capacity.

• Performance - the platform can be optimized for use of applications for stream processing: Spark, Storm, and SQL-Hadoop subsystems - Presto and Impala. It is optimized for intensive computing workloads with large volumes of the central processor and memory and smaller disks memories. The platform uses Intel Core (Haswell) technology which provides high rates of performance and analytics.

• Power - if the client needs to store large volumes of seldom used data with acceptable performance levels, configuring of the Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform with the lowest costs of storage, sufficient memory and the smaller number of central processors is possible. The Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform is scaled.

• The balance - If is required balance of performance and capacity for extraction, conversion and loading (ETL) of data, solutions of analytical tasks, configuring of the Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform with the corresponding central processor, memory and disks memories is possible.

The Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform is integrated within Teradata UDA using high-speed network InfiniBand with platforms of the data warehouse Teradata and Teradata Aster. It allows the increased traverse speed of data when using Teradata QueryGrid for acceleration of processing and consolidation of analysis results within a uniform request.

The Teradata Appliance for Hadoop 5 platform with a possibility of the choice of Cloudera Enterprise or Hortonworks should appear in the market by the end of the third quarter 2015. Support of Teradata QueryGrid for the Teradata Appliance for Hadoop platform with Cloudera and Hortonworks will become available in the fourth quarter 2015.
