TASM and IWM Systems in SLES 10 and SLES 11 - Teradata Viewpoint

Teradata Workload Management offers different strategies, depending on the platform and license you purchase:

TASM for Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) platforms

Teradata Active System Management (TASM) is a product available on EDW platforms and included in the enterprise license to perform full workload management in Teradata Database.

IWM for base EDW and appliance platforms

Teradata Integrated Workload Management (IWM) is a Teradata Database feature included on base EDW and appliance platforms to perform basic workload management. Customers on base EDW platforms can optionally purchase TASM.
