Temperature is a metaphor used to classify data based on frequency of access—the more frequently the data is accessed, the hotter it becomes.

Multi-Temperature data warehousing allows you to keep and manage both active (hot) and inactive (cool) data in the same data warehouse, which until now has not been cost-effective.

New larger disk drives combined with Teradata's Multi-Temperature capability create a cost-effective solution for managing both hot and cold data.

Teradata's new multi-temperature services and workload management capabilities allow infrequently accessed yet valuable data that was previously stored off-line to be added to the warehouse. Teradata helps you dynamically balance performance and storage requirements based on your needs to maximize the return on your storage investment while maintaining the performance required to support critical functions.
