Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse 5555 Data Warehousing > Platform Family The Teradata Active EDW 5555 platform Active Data Warehousing Platform for is purpose built to run the Teradata Teradata Solutions Database with high efficiency to support your data warehousing initiatives. You can focus on your business – not on managing technology, enabling you to make smarter decisions faster and maximize ROI. The Teradata Active EDW platform can deliver real-time intelligence by enabling active data warehousing. This key capability places vital data into the hands of front- line decision makers, while extending traditional data warehouse functionality into the realm of tactical decision making. With the Teradata Active EDW, you can combine both strategic and operational workloads in a single data warehouse. The five key attributes of the Teradata Active EDW platform are: High-performance Technology With modular design and architecture (See Figure 1.), the Teradata Active EDW platform provides specific system func- tions that can be independently evolved without impact to the rest of your system.
