A Teradata Database node requires three distinct softwares.
TPA
PDE
OS
Trusted Parallel Application (TPA) uses PDE to implement virtual processors (vprocs). The Teradata Database is classified as a TPA. The four components of the Teradata Database TPA are:
AMP (Top Right)
PE (Bottom Right)
Channel Driver (Top Left)
Teradata Gateway (Bottom Left)
Parallel Database Extensions (PDE)
The Parallel Database Extensions (PDE) software layer was added to the operating system to support the parallel software environment. The PDE controls the virtual processor (vproc) resources.
OS:The Teradata Database can run on the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows 2000
SuSE Linux
Note:Some customers may still be running on MP-RAS UNIX, but it is no longer supported beyond Teradata 13.
