Teradata Virtual Storage "Temperature Aware" Software Is Newest Innovation In Data Warehousing: Page 2 of 2

According to Gnau, "The capability of Teradata Virtual Storage is unique in the data warehousing market, because of the 'temperature aware' intelligence of the storage software and the ability for automatic migration of data depending on its access patterns or temperature. In addition, the advanced design of Teradata Virtual Storage makes it possible to mix both small and large capacity drives in the same system - and get maximum performance from each. For instance, customers can combine of 146 gigabyte and 300 gigabyte drives to maximize storage and achieve higher performance at a lower cost. In the future, Teradata Virtual Storage will be the flexible framework enabling customers to utilize new and different types of storage devices."

The adoption of virtual storage will minimize e-waste by extending the life span of older storage arrays because they can be combined with newer and higher capacity storage technology. Customers can easily expand their data storage without substantially increasing energy usage or floor space, because they can mix drive capacities in their system. The under-utilized empty space in the storage cabinets will be put to use without changing the footprint. Teradata enables customers to optimize usage of floor space within the data center.
