Teradata

Teradata is a robust relational database management system that can handle enormous amounts of data as well as complex queries. Data reliability is provided by Acceldata Data Observability Cloud (ADOC) for data saved in your Teradata data source.

To add Teradata as a data source in ADOC, you must first create or use an existing data plane. Once Teradata has been added as a data source, you may view the specifics of your assets in the Teradata database under ADOC's Data Reliability tab.
