What is TERADATA ANALYTICS and what is it used for?
Teradata Analytics for Enterprise Applications eliminates the complexity of accessing and integrating enterprise applications, including SAP ERP and SAP CRM, Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), and Oracle PeopleSoft, enabling agile analytics that produce tangible business results.
The Teradata Analytics platform simplifies and enhances the user experience by providing analytics at scale, integrating the best analytical engines, supporting the most popular tools and languages, and operationalizing analytics at enterprise scale. Teradata Analytics Platform allows you to use your favorite analytics tools, the most appropriate languages, and the best analytics engines to access a wider variety of data, including new sources.
Teradata Analytics Platform uses the Teradata SQL Engine, which offers a wide range of integrated analytical functions, enabling descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analysis using integrated data. It is a powerful engine that allows the implementation of complex analysis and analytical algorithms without exposing its complexity, through a simple and intuitive SQL language widely used and compatible with your favorite analytical tools.
Teradata database, designed for parallelism, is the core of the Teradata SQL Engine. Its patented Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture allows complex analytical workloads to be broken down and distributed into multiple parallel processes that perform as efficiently as possible. This provides the basis for the linear scalability of the Teradata system, which can start on a small scale and become a mission-critical analytical system at the enterprise level.
