авторЯ не думаю, что Oracle не рассматривает Терадату как конкурента, поскольку с недавнего времени также стал уделять хранилищам данных внимание.

в смысле хранилище это вроде DW, в DW круче оракла только горы (37% процентов рынка). TPC-H меряет запросы - тут как бы тоже круче оракла никого. или вы о чем-то другом ?

авторКак тут не рассматривать такую компанию как конкурента?

так это всего лишь 1 задача и в ней 6% ... а есть еще OLPT, OLAP, Oracle Aplications, App server, и туча другого хлама за немеряные деньги. вот IBM и MS - конкуренты, и в TPC/SAP бенчмарках и в индустриальных решения, а терадата ? ну да есть бд, наверно хорошая - но к ней все равно нужно оракл для OLPT ...

авторПо оценкам аналитиков впереди шагают Терадата и IBM. Oracle пока challenger.

странно а по данным IDC картина совсем другая:

Overall data shows that Oracle presence stands at 37%, followed by Microsoft (35%), IBM (18%), Teradata (6%), Sybase (3%), and SAS (2%). (Note that other database vendors were not included in the question).

Oracle dominates the LDW market at the 500GB+, 1TB+, and 4TB+ levels. However,
its lead disappears at the highest level of 6TB+. In this segment, both IBM and
NCR/Teradata have higher market presence than Oracle.

Teradata quietly withdrew its 10 TB and 3 TB TPC-H decision-support (data warehousing)benchmarks
on March 4,2004,without formal,public comment and will abstain from future publications of TPC-
H benchmarks.Teradata asserts the bene fits of not competing will outweigh the flak it will take from
its competitors,which continue to compete.However,the real loss will be experienced by clients and
prospects that will be poorer in information and the innovations driven by the benchmark.
TERADATA EXITS THE TPC-H SHOWCASE
Teradata has withdrawn its participation in the TPC-H data warehousing benchmarks.Long the
highest-powered — and highest--priced — player in large--scale data warehousing,the vendor
leaves the field while it is 31%ahead of the nearest competitor,IBM,in the composite power and
throughput metric (QphH).Teradata is tied with IBM for price/performance at $243 and it lags by
30.8%in the pure price category at the 10 TB volume point.1 Teradata ’s reasons for quitting the TPC-
H include:
· The TPC-H benchmark is an arti ficial and solved problem.In exiting from the TPC-H,
Teradata cites many of the concerns Forrester has raised in the past about these benchmarks:
Customer workloads are di fferent than the benchmark in terms of data model,numbers of
users,and mixture of queries.The actual queries have been known since the TPC-D,which was
discontinued in 1999.Vendors have reverse engineered them up,down,and sideways — there
is little more for them to learn.
· Teradata customer prospects require custom benchmarks.Teradata acknowledges that the
benchmark has driven database innovations — such as join index and partitioned primary
index — from which customers have bene fited.However,it claims that approach has run its
course and the resources are better devoted to performing more custom benchmarks for speci fic
customers to close pending deals.(Teradata reportedly completes more than 40 annually.)The
TPC-H makes data warehousing seem like one size fits all,which it is not.
