TareByte:

A TareByte is an arbitrary amount of Teradata Database data (Data Dictionary & User Data) which is protected externally from the Teradata Database System itself. This data is used for the purpose of basic "Backup & Recovery" (BAR).

By design, this TareByte Solutions "externally protected data" can subsequently be leveraged and used to provide other Business Continuity (BC) functionalities, including but not limited to, Disaster Recovery (DR), High Availability (HA), Off-site and On-site Data Protection, Data Migration & Replication, Single & Multi-system local and remote support. Also, see definition of a "Terabyte" below.

A terabyte is a measure of computer storage capacity and is 2 to the 40th power or approximately a thousand billion bytes (a thousand gigabytes). A single terabyte of data can be visualized as information contained in standard three drawer filing cabinets that are stacked "back-to-back" for a distance of 35 miles.

Ten terabytes (10 TB) worth of information then would represent 350 miles of cabinets, a hundred terabytes (100 TB) 3500 miles and one thousand terabytes (1000 TB or a 'petabyte') information stored in 35,000 miles of "back-to-back" filing cabinets.

The Teradata Database System from NCR is utilized as the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) foundation, both hardware and software, for the world's largest commercial data warehouse systems in production - and fully scalable data warehouse systems ranging in size from 100's of gigabytes total disk capacity to in excess of 100's of terabytes of total disk capacity.
