Teradata launches Warehouse Miner 5.1

MUMBAI: Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation has announced the availability of its Warehouse Miner 5.1, which enables data-mining technology from multiple vendors to be embedded and run within the Teradata enterprise data warehouse.

Teradata’s technology pushes beyond describing what happened last quarter, last week, yesterday and even intraday to better predict what is going to happen in the future. It uncovers relationships and patterns within the data that can be used to predict behavior and events. As a result, businesses can better understand customer behavior, identify unexpected opportunities, and anticipate opportunities and problems before they happen, Teradata said in a statement.

One of the key improvements in the new product is the embedding of partner analytic applications that run within the database. The partners’ applications are preconfigured and easily integrated into a customer’s open enterprise warehouse environment.

Neural network algorithms provided by StatSoft are a sophisticated statistical tool that is capable of identifying and evaluating the inter-relationship of a large number of variables at one time. They are capable of self-learning behavior.

Teradata Warehouse Miner 5.1, as with previous versions, integrates data mining within a centralized data warehouse, streamlining the data-mining process and making it possible to mine massive volumes of data with improved accuracy and speed.
