Teradata ships environment-friendly server

MUMBAI, INDIA: Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation, has launched its 5500 Server, which uses approximately 75 percent less energy and coexists with multiple generations of its servers.

The Teradata 5500 Server supports Teradata Warehouse 8.2, a suite of software, hardware and professional consulting services that helps businesses make smarter, more competitive decisions.

"The 5500 Server reduces the floor space requirement by approximately 66 percent," Scott Gnau, Teradata senior vice president and chief development officer, said in a statement.

"Teradata constantly strives to improve the performance per watt of our servers. These improvements have been driven by Teradata's commitment to operating our business in an environmentally sound manner worldwide," he added.

By reducing energy usage for the same system performance, Teradata has also reduced associated data center cooling and power delivery infrastructure costs by a similar ratio. The Teradata patented cabinet door design provides a 30 per cent improvement in cabinet cooling efficiency over conventional cabinet door designs.

"With Teradata, coexistence is not a myth. The ability of Teradata to coexist with multiple generations of servers outshines the other data warehouse vendors," Gnau said.
