New product from NCR and ETI to expedite scalable data warehousing.AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 1996--Evolutionary Technologies International (ETI (Embed The Internet) An earlier consortium that was devoted to putting Web servers into microcontrollers used in embedded systems. Using a Web server enables access to the device via any Web browser. See Web server and microcontroller. ) and NCR (NCR Corporation, Dayton, OH, www.ncr.com) A technology company specializing in financial terminal transactions, retail systems and data warehousing. Until the late 1990s, NCR was heavily invested in the hardware side of the industry, known worldwide as a major manufacturer of computers Corp. Monday announced a new jointly developed product that will provide support for scalable data warehousing See data warehouse. data warehousing - data warehouse . The product was previewed last week at the NCR Partners Conference in San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. . Set to release in early 1997, the Data System Library (DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary ) for C/Teradata will enable ETI's powerful ETI-EXTRACT data integration toolset to automate and expedite the migration of data to and from NCR Teradata-based data warehouses and data marts. "Collecting, transforming and migrating data from different systems needed to build and maintain a data warehouse is one of the most formidable tasks in implementing the warehouse," commented Eileen Ibenhard, vice president of marketing for ETI. "Today, we are pleased to preview the DSL for C/Teradata that will enable ETI-EXTRACT to automate this time-consuming and costly process. And because the ETI-EXTRACT Tool Suite can move data between virtually any platform regardless of hardware or operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , we are happy to announce that we will support Teradata databases on both the new NT platform as well as the UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). platform." "NCR's partnership with ETI has resulted in a comprehensive data warehouse offering that will now provide customers with a full set of tools needed to extract, transform and load legacy and operational data into a data warehouse built on NCR Teradata's powerful parallel database capabilities," said Randy Lea, assistant vice president, Teradata Marketing. ETI and NCR technical teams launched a joint development effort earlier this year to collaborate on the creation of the DSL to support the Teradata database system. The DSL for C/Teradata will provide the framework of rules, models and templates that the ETI-EXTRACT software uses to automatically generate programs that transform and load data for Teradata-based scalable data warehouses and dependent data marts, and also to migrate data from Teradata databases to virtually any other database environment. NCR's Teradata DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) A one-way TV broadcast service from a communications satellite to a small round or oval dish antenna no larger than 20" in diameter. NCR's Teradata database system for UNIX provides an open solution to companies requiring the high performance, availability and scalability needed for transforming valuable, cross-organizational data into useful and timely information for better decision making. Teradata DBS has been running the world's largest and most complex data warehouses for the past decade and holds 50 percent of the commercial parallel processing parallel processing, the concurrent or simultaneous execution of two or more parts of a single computer program, at speeds far exceeding those of a conventional computer. market. The database provides seamless scalability from a few gigabytes to multi-terabyte warehouses. The ETI-EXTRACT Tool Suite The ETI-EXTRACT Tool Suite automates the creation and execution of virtually all of the programs necessary to collect, cleanse cleanse tr.v. cleansed, cleans·ing, cleans·es To free from dirt, defilement, or guilt; purge or clean. [Middle English clensen, from Old English , transform and move data from virtually any source database or file system, across any network, to any database or repository on any platform, regardless of hardware or operating system. A simple, point-and-click interface allows users to specify precisely what data to select from legacy files, what transformations and conversions must be performed on the data, and how to move the data to the target files. ETI-EXTRACT automatically generates the programs in the appropriate language or languages for the environment and then executes them on the appropriate platform. The ETI-EXTRACT Tool Suite is ideal for supporting data warehouses and implementing applications because, in addition to sophisticated program generation capabilities, it also captures extensive metadata and provides unique, flexible metadata management capabilities.

The company also develops industry-specific platforms and solutions for customers in the retail, financial and telecommunications industries. NCR's new WorldMark servers provide customers with a multi-dimensional growth capability in hardware, database systems and operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , allowing a business to start with a two-processor system and expand it to up to hundreds of processors. Since the introduction of the WorldMark servers in September 1995, more than $600 million in sales have been made. The majority of the data warehouse installations are running Teradata DBS for UNIX.
