[March 05, 2013] Teradata introduces Teradata Aster Discovery Platform 5.10 Tweet Mar 05, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Teradata Corporation, a provider of enterprise analytic data solutions, has introduced Teradata Aster Discovery Platform 5.10, a discovery solution with more than 20 new big data analytic capabilities, including purpose-built visualizations. With Teradata Aster Discovery Platform customers can acquire, prepare, analyze, and visualize petabyte-sized volumes of multi-structured data in a single platform with a single structured query language (SQL) command, the company said. The Teradata Aster Discovery Platform's open platform approach leverages enterprise business intelligence (BI), data integration, analytics, and visualization tools. The Teradata Aster Discovery Platform is open and allows customers to integrate existing big data analytic tools. The new, key technical enhancements within the Teradata Aster Discovery Platform include; Visual SQL-MapReduce functions; In-Database R execution capability; support for In-Database PMML execution via Zementis; In-Database Integration of Attensity capabilities; and manufacturing and financial services industry analytics. Visual SQL-MapReduce functions offer capabilities that generate sophisticated purpose-built data visualizations coupled with other Aster SQL-MapReduce analytical functions generated inside the database. The open source statistical language, R, has been integrated inside the Teradata Aster Database. Because of this integration, SQL-savvy analysts or business analysts can take advantage of Aster's parallel processing (MPP) platform to score statistical models on massive data volumes, the company said. Tight integration between Zementis and Teradata Aster Database empowers business analysts to develop statistical models in tools of their choice. Analysts can seamlessly export and import the statistical models in Aster to take advantage of Aster's MPP platform to score models at scale. Attensity's text and sentiment analytic capabilities are being integrated inside the Aster Database. This enables text and sentiment analytics to be an integral part of the big data discovery process and can be combined with other analytical techniques including SQL-MapReduce functions, and Visual SQL-MapReduce Analytics. To assist manufacturing and financial services companies, new SQL-MapReduce functions have been integrated. From within the Teradata Unified Data Architecture, Teradata provides customers the ability to leverage partner tools.
