What is most valuable?
Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance. Features like TPump were helpful for real-time data loads compatible with almost all other APIs/tools in our enterprise. Inbuilt architecture reduces admins' efforts.How has it helped my organization?
* Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information. * It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc. Due to its architecture, the focus has been shifted from not maintaining the database to how we can utilize the data/features.What needs improvement?
* Cost * Scalability It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost.BrenoNunes
