MIAMISBURG, Ohio — Early market acceptance in the hospitality industry for the new Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance has been confirmed through a sale to InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), the hotel group with more guest rooms than any other hotel around the world. Teradata Corporation (NYSE:TDC) is the world’s largest company solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics.

“With the new Teradata Date Warehouse Appliance, IHG is expanding its efforts to be the hotel company of choice for guests and hotel owners by gaining additional insight into its operations and furthering its efforts to create ’Great Hotels Guests Love’. This platform solidifies the foundation of IHG’s efforts to build superior business intelligence capability that will help drive the business forward,” said Alex Grigorian, vice president, enterprise technology, IHG.

It is purpose-built and delivers up to five to 10 times performance improvement over other appliances at competitive price points. The appliance scales up to 140 terabytes.

“Given InterContinental Hotels Group’s aggressive data warehouse plans, they understand that proven performance and scale really count. Acquiring the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance ensures that IHG can concentrate its resources on identifying and executing business opportunity improvements that deliver substantial ROI rather than on system and data management activities,” said Gene Sullivan, vice president, Americas retail industry, Teradata Corporation. “We are pleased to have earned such a strong endorsement for the new Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance.”
