A flaw in widely used internet software known as Log4j has left enterprises scrambling to respond...
UPDATED: Jan 5th, 2024
Launched in April 2015, the 2800/2850 Data Warehouse appliance from Teradata was a major step up in the data warehousing appliance space. With in-memory processing with double the capacity and half the physical size, the 2800/2850 was positioned as a “data warehouse, data mart, disaster recovery system, or as an analytical sandbox for testing and development.”
Teradata leverages technology from Dot Hill Systems
Another key feature of the 2800/2850 was the incorporation of storage technology from a now-defunct manufacturer called Dot Hill Systems. The 2800 was the second system in the family to use Dot Hill components (following the 1700, and later joined by the 2850 and 1800 systems).
“Dot Hill has proven to be a strong and flexible go-to-market partner,”said Chris Twogood, vice president, Teradata products and services. “The Ultra48 provides a compelling storage solution for Teradata’s Data Warehouse Appliance 2800 with the ability to store up to 320 terabytes in a single cabinet, a 300 percent improvement over the previous generation. Saving valuable space and energy, this ultra-density array is extremely efficient and robust, which makes it highly suitable for big data applications, data mining, reporting, and analytics.”
Dot Hill was subsequently acquired by Seagate shortly after the launch announcement of the 2800 in October, 2015. Over time, Seagate sunset the former Dot Hill technology.
Extending support beyond 2023
Fast forward to 2024, and the Teradata 2800 customer-base is now dealing with the recent end of support on July 31st in 2023. Those customers using 2850 systems don't find themselves in a much better position, with support due to lapse on March 30th of this year. Last sold in 2017, many clients are still leveraging the 2800/2850 in a production capacity today and would love to continue to do so.
"With it's Dot Hill storage technology, the 2800 and 2850 systems from Teradata poses unique challenges with respect to extending support for them. Natrinsic's team of senior Teradata engineers has many years of Dot Hill support experience. In fact we are supporting 2800 systems in a production capacity with Fortune 500 companies today."
