TOKYO, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata
(NYSE: TDC), the analytic data solutions company (Teradata Japan,
Minato-ku, Tokyo; Yukihiko Yoshikawa, President), today announced
that Yahoo Japan Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO, Manabu Miyasaka) has renewed and updated its
analytical data systems with the Teradata Active Enterprise Data
Warehouse Platform 6690, Teradata's latest high-end model, for its

Due to the rapid increases in data volume and user requirements
for state-of-the-art big data analytics, Yahoo! JAPAN needed to bring its DWH capabilities and
performance up to date. Yahoo! JAPAN renewed and upgraded to the Teradata
6690, which has a larger capacity and higher performance – designed
with multiple tiers of storage technology including main memory and
both high-speed and high-capacity storage drives – to achieve
optimum data warehouse performance.
Yahoo! JAPAN has also
implemented a new application known as "Access-Navigator Web," a
web-based data search tool. This software enables an employee
without training in SQL to perform data analysis – by freely
manipulating and integrating data on the new Teradata system. This
lowers employee learning curves for SQL training and increases the
number of users who can perform analytics.
At Yahoo! JAPAN, more than 250
employees now use the Teradata analytics platform every day for
their tasks, such as visualizing and analyzing enormous volumes of
data traffic across many services, including search,
shopping, and auctions. They also measure the business impact of
marketing and advertising campaigns and drive the development of
new services.
Because "Yahoo! JAPAN" is today
the largest portal site in the country, its Teradata Active DWH now
manages about 120,000 queries daily. The deployment of the newest
Teradata technology, completed at the end of November 2012, provides high efficiency and speed
– with response times now running 200 to 250 percent faster than
the prior systems.
Yahoo! JAPAN expects the number
of users will grow as requirements and data volume increase. In
addition, there will be a growing need to leverage past data for
chronological comparisons, while storing detailed data such as
sampled access logs and advertisement logs.
Yahoo! JAPAN is assured that
the organization will continue to see increasing data volumes, and
will benefit from the new system's Teradata database columnar
functionality. The company also sees smart phone traffic growing –
a major pillar driving future revenue – and is committed to
providing speedy customer service.
"Yahoo! JAPAN" first built its
data warehousing environment with Teradata technology in 2002 as an
analytical database system for several in-house analysts.
The latest Teradata Database software provides hybrid
capabilities, integrating column and row technology, and
market-leading innovations that enhance workload management,
multi-temperature data usage, temporal data capability, security,
and application portability.
