“Teradata History
| 1976 to 1979 | The concept of Teradata grew out of research at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and from the discussions of Citibank’s advanced technology group. Caltech showed “how;” the bank showed “why.” The ideas came together in the winter and spring of 1979. Founders worked “out of the box” to design a revolutionary database management system for parallel processing with multiple microprocessors, specifically for decision support. The microprocessors, like horses, were harnessed to pull a large load rather than relying on one horse to do all the work. |
| 1979 | Teradata was incorporated on July 13, 1979, and started in a garage in Brentwood, Calif. The name Teradata symbolized the ability to manage terabytes (trillions of bytes) of data. The founders spent the next year raising financing. A seed round of $150,000 closed in March 1980, which allowed design and patent work to begin in earnest. |
| 1980 | The first VC round, for $2.5 million, closed in July 1980, which let the company hire the R&D team. |

| 2014 | In March, Teradata is positioned as a leader for the 15th consecutive year in the 2014 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse Database Management Systems. Gartner’s data warehousing report follows three 2014 analyst evaluations in which Teradata is rated a leader. The first recognition noted our leadership in database analytics, the second gave top recognition for the Teradata® Unified Data Architecture™, and the third report acknowledged that Teradata is a leader in big data Hadoop solutions. Notably, Gartner has updated its definition of a data warehouse: “A data warehouse is a solution architecture that may consist of many different technologies in combination. A data warehouse is simply a warehouse of data, not a specific class or type of technology.” The report introduces non-relational data management systems to its evaluation for the first time. |
| In April, Teradata introduced the most complete big data solution in the industry with Teradata QueryGrid™, which uses analytic engines and file systems to concentrate database power on accessing and analyzing data without special tools or IT intervention. It minimizes data movement and duplication by processing data where it resides. Queries can be initiated from the Teradata Database to access, filter, and return subsets of data from Hadoop, Aster, and other database environments to the Teradata Database for additional processing. The analysis can incorporate data from the Teradata Database and Hadoop.” |
