Case Study: Teradata achieves faster, more reliable big data performance with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

Helping to Power Teradata Customers and Their Decisions

Teradata, a leading analytic data solutions company, faced the challenge of maintaining and updating its proprietary UNIX-based operating system, MP-RAS. This system was complex to manage and lacked the performance, scalability, and security required to meet the demanding big data needs of its customers. The company sought a new, enterprise-quality operating system and turned to SUSE for a solution.

SUSE partnered with Teradata to implement and optimize SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as the exclusive operating system for its products. This collaboration involved customizing the OS to drive performance. The solution allowed Teradata to process massive datasets securely and reliably, with its largest implementation handling over 40 petabytes of data. The partnership lowered costs by simplifying support to a single code stream and enabled Teradata to provide faster, better service to its customers.
