Feed: Teradata Blog. In the past I’ve heard some criticisms around Teradata’s founding “vision” -- criticisms that have been bolstered by the misperception that Teradata has admitted that its original vision of a “single store of business data” is no longer correct. Allow me to clear a few things up… Teradata started with the vision of “bring data together” so users could ask “any question of any data at any time.” At our heart we started as an analytic software company. We revolutionized a new paradigm of MPP software that was able to scale to (at the time) unfathomable amounts ... Read More

For me personally, it was an amazing return this year to the now appropriately re-named, Gartner BI & Analytics Summit held in Grapevine, Texas. The energy at the conference was amazing – over 2,000 attendees and 100 vendors gathered to find our inner ... Read More

A Data Hub? A Data Warehouse? Despite Hadoop’s fall from grace, the debate not only persists but grows more complicated. Today’s cloud-based repositories, including AWS S3, Microsoft Azure ADLS, and Google Cloud Store, look very much like Data Lakes in the Cloud. Similarly, cloud-based offerings like Snowflake look very much like Enterprise Data Warehouses but in the cloud. Granted, for an apples-to-apples comparison for Data ... Read More
