Bank Leads Asia Pacific In the Next Generation of EDW Technology
with the First Implementation of a Teradata 5550 Platform
St.George
Bank, widely recognised as having one of the best installations of a
Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) in the Asia Pacific Region, is
leading the way with the first hardware and software implementation of
the Teradata
5550 platform and Teradata
12 database in Australia.
The new system consists of a three-node Teradata 5550 platform in
addition to a hot standby node running on Linux for the Group Data
Warehouse (GDW) production system as well as a minor upgrade to their
existing four-node Teradata 5400 platform prior to redeployment as a
disaster recovery (DR) system. The solution also includes a GDW maturity
assessment and roadmap consulting engagement to ensure the bank
continues to lead the field in enterprise data warehousing. This data
warehouse upgrade gives St.George Bank increased speed, performance and
capacity, which allows the bank to easily manage both planned growth and
new business opportunities.
In considering this upgrade, St.George Bank undertook an extensive
evaluation process, including a review of alternative data warehouse and
appliance vendors, but in the end chose to upgrade with Teradata. “This
significant win for Teradata cements the company’s
position as a global leading enterprise data warehouse vendor. The
evaluation process pitted Teradata’s
technology against the competition and we came out as the best choice
for enabling St.George to advance its already cutting edge data
warehouse into the future,” commented Noel
Pettitt, vice president, South Pacific Area, Teradata.
“St.George is the first to implement this
hardware and software in South Asia, and we are pleased that the new
Teradata data warehouse has exceeded our expectations for speed and
performance. It prepares us for the next phase of growth and the next
generation of data warehousing. The implementation, put together by our
combined St.George and Teradata technical team continues to be very
successful,” said Jean-Claude El-Sabbagh, head
of Enterprise Business Intelligence, St.George Bank.
