TeraData Database

Version: Teradata Database Server 12 or later.

The Teradata Database is a shared-nothing massively parallel processing (MPP) relational database management system (RDBMS), making it the only commercially available RDBMS designed from the ground up for data warehousing.

Parallel processing and the automation of many typical DBA functions were created in the DNA of the Teradata Database. Because of that architecture, many functions that are manual or enhanced by wizards in other vendors’ systems are managed automatically. Consequently, the roles and responsibilities of the DBA are significantly different. Fewer tasks are required, making the system much easier to manage. Understanding those differences and how to exploit them with the RDBMS is key to driving the success of the organization.

Netsurion Open XDR offers a high-level view, but allows you to drill down to the most granular level and provide you with the information you need – whether you are in charge of overall implementation, security, and compliance, or focused on the details of the events of specific devices. Teradata database can be configured to send event logs to Netsurion Open XDR.

  • Monitor authentication success and failures.
