The Teradata Aster® Big Analytics Appliance 5 platform delivers an enterprise-ready appliance solution for storing, managing, and analyzing big data, comprised of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. The appliance combines patented Aster Database with best-in-class Teradata platform hardware.
The Teradata Aster® Big Analytics Appliance 5 platform cabinet can be configured to contain only Aster nodes or a combination of other nodes, including TMS nodes, Viewpoint enterprise servers, SAS HPA worker nodes, and nodes for Hadoop 5 or Hadoop 6, in any combination, as long as there are also Aster nodes in the cabinet.
A minimum Aster configuration consists of one Aster queen node and two Aster worker nodes for test/development systems, or two Aster queen nodes (one being a secondary/standby queen node) and three Aster worker nodes for production systems. Once the minimum is satisfied, the Aster configuration can scale to include as many worker, loader, AppCenter, and backup nodes as is required for the site.
- One Teradata 680 system (in the base cabinet only)
- One Teradata 2800 system (4+0 or 2+0 cliques) (in the base cabinet only)
- Channel nodes (for use with the 680 or 2800) (in the base cabinet only)
- SAS HPA worker nodes
- TMS nodes
- Hadoop 5 or Hadoop 6 nodes/clusters
The Teradata Aster® Big Analytics Appliance 5 platform is offered with Aster Database software version 06.10 or later, and supports both SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11) and SUSE Linux Enteprise Server 12 (SLES 12) SP2-STND. Aster Database software includes the high-speed, bi-directional Teradata-Aster connector.
