NCR Teradata Database - a feat unreachable by any other platform
NDS said NCR Teradata Database won the Data Warehouse Challenge last month, running a record-setting TPC-D at 300GB and then executing 12 streams of surprise ad/hoc complex queries.
The Challenge was "issued" in the fall of 1997 to every major database vendor in the industry, including NCR, IBM, Oracle, Red Brick, Informix and Sybase by DataChallenge, a consortium of recognized experts in the field of data warehousing.
NCR said IBM, the only other vendor that was willing to accept the challenge, volunteered at the lower volume point of 100GB to avoid a head-to-head competition with Teradata.
