"Teradata selected Symantec to provide industry-leading technology with
enhanced performance and new capabilities, which will help our customers
secure and manage their data more effectively than ever before," said Scott
Gnau, chief development officer, Teradata Corporation. "Symantec has the most
advanced data protection solutions as a result of its solid commitment to
research and development, which has already begun to pay dividends to our
customers."
Providing a strong data protection solution is important because the role of
the data warehouse has significantly shifted. It has evolved from a
back-office, non-critical system queried by a few users to a system that
supports thousands of frontline workers in their daily tasks. For many
customers, the data warehouse has become a mission critical system supporting
high value applications. The data warehouse contains critical information for
stocking shelves, booking flights, tracking customer habits, billing for
services, quarterly financial reporting, and numerous other uses.
According to Gnau, "Effective BAR solutions are a critical component of the
fully integrated and scalable Teradata Purpose-Built Platform Family."
Teradata is the only vendor to offer a broad family of platforms that span the
unique business and analytical data warehouse needs of companies, making
Teradata suitable to be everywhere in the enterprise. The family is supported
by the high performance and dependable Teradata Database 13, the most
significant and technically advanced version yet released.
