Teradata completes large-scale analytics demo

Enterprise analytics company Teradata has completed one of the largest cloud analytics tests undertaken to date, demonstrating the operation of more than 1000 simultaneous nodes with 1023 active users.

The test involved the users submitting thousands of concurrent queries, using a diverse set of mixed workloads. It achieved no system downtime or outages.

Teradata’s Innovation Lab conducted the test on the Amazon Web Services EC2, using an analytics platform running mixed workloads — both operational and DSS — with multi-compute clusters and automated elasticity.

According to Teradata Chief Product Officer Hillary Ashton, the goal of the test was to demonstrate to potential customers the future of cloud-based analytics capabilities.

“As critical analytic workloads increasingly move to the cloud, we recognise the need to provide our largest enterprise customers with a single system to manage all of their complex analytics. Our solutions deliver easier automation, manageability and cost-efficiencies across their entire analytic ecosystem,” she said.

“Extending ease of management beyond scalability boundaries demonstrates that customers don’t have to trade the complexity associated with managing multiple instances for performance at scale. We’ve proven the flexibility of our cloud technology to reliably deliver complex analytics at scale on an integrated data foundation.”
