MIAMISBURG, Ohio and WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Teradata Corporation (NYSE:TDC), the world's largest company
solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, and
Novell today announced they will provide customers a new level of
support as Linux becomes a trusted choice for Teradata
enterprise-class data warehouses. "With this agreement, we are
elevating our day-to-day working relationship, which will shape and
accelerate the adoption of Linux for enterprise-class data
warehouses," said Scott Gnau, chief development officer, Teradata.
"Our customers are demanding the best from our Linux systems, and
we are delivering high performance systems that are very stable,
manageable and scalable. In addition to improving our customers'
experience in the near term, this close relationship means we will
be able to provide the Linux community with the benefit of our
experience in high performance enterprise systems." As part of the
agreement, Novell will provide a dedicated Linux services
engineering team to enhance the performance of the Teradata
Purpose-Built Platform Family which runs on SUSE(R) Linux
Enterprise. Novell will also ensure a smooth integration of
applications running on its operating system. "Novell is very
enthusiastic about this extension of our partnership with
Teradata," said Roger Levy, senior vice president and general
manager of Open Platform Solutions at Novell. "Teradata is the
undisputed leader in data warehousing, while Novell has a strong
presence with key customers in the high performance computing
segment. From our 64-bit technical leadership to our
enterprise-class support, we are prepared to help customers and
partners build products and applications on the most scalable, best
engineered and most interoperable Linux operating system." The high
performance and scalability of SUSE Linux Enterprise from Novell in
the research and industry sectors is being leveraged for companies
that depend on their data warehouse and business analytics to run
their business. According to the Top500 list of supercomputers
(http://www.top500.org/), SUSE Linux Enterprise is the first choice
for many high performance computing (HPC) customers worldwide. For
a growing number of businesses and vendors, HPC now translates into
efficiency, faster time-to-market and ultra-scale business
computing. According to Levy, Teradata and Novell are beginning a
new era in this emerging high productivity computing market.
Teradata's choice of SUSE Linux Enterprise for data warehousing is
one of the best examples of why organizations should rely on this
operating system. In 2005, Teradata announced its plan to bring
Linux to enterprise-class data warehouses and SUSE Linux Enterprise
from Novell was selected as a trusted open source operating system.
With the 64-bit operating system, Teradata has been able to enhance
the performance, scalability and functionality of the Teradata
systems while at the same time deliver the same enterprise-class
availability and manageability as it does on its own 32-bit UNIX
operating system, UNIX MP-RAS. About Teradata Teradata Corporation
