Studio Teradata Studio is a client-based graphical interface for performing database administration, query development, and management tasks on Vantage (Advanced SQL Engine, Machine Learning Engine) and Hadoop systems.

Teradata Studio is built on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) framework to build and deploy native GUI applications. It extends the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) to provide enhancements for accessing objects and data stored in Teradata-supported databases.

Teradata Studio supports the Teradata Unified Data Architecture (UDA) by integrating administration, data management and transfer, and SQL query development across the Vantage and Hadoop platforms.

TPT Teradata Parallel Transporter (TPT) is an object-oriented client application that provides scalable, high-speed, parallel data for extraction, loading, and updating data. These functions can be extended with customizations or with third-party products.

TPT uses and expands on the functionality of the traditional Teradata extract and load utilities such as FastLoad, MultiLoad, FastExport, and TPump, collectively referred to as standalone utilities.

Viewpoint The Viewpoint portal is a framework where web-based applications, known as portlets, are displayed. IT professionals and business users can customize their portlets to manage and monitor their Teradata systems using a web browser.

Portlets enable users across an enterprise to customize tasks and display options to their specific business needs. You can view current data, run queries, and make timely business decisions, reducing the database administrator workload by allowing you to manage your work independently. Portlets are added to a portal page using the Add Content screen. The Viewpoint administrator configures access to portlets based on your role.
