Kmart's Data Warehouse Reaches 92 Terabytes with Latest Expansion from NCR's Teradata Division

    DAYTON, Ohio, May 10  -- Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation,  
announced plans to expand Kmart's Teradata(R)data warehouse to 92 
terabytes. This marks the fifth expansion in three years; Kmart 
now has 15 times the storage and processing power that it had in 1997.
Kmart made the decision to implement a Teradata data warehouse in 1986 and was
one of the first retailers in the world to see the potential that data
warehousing held for improving its business.
    Kmart will use the additional capacity to enable several strategic
initiatives in merchandising, inventory planning and customer relationship
management (CRM).  Together, these will improve marketing campaigns and
tighten supply chain management to save money and enhance customer service.
    "Kmart's expansion of its data warehouse demonstrates why Teradata is so
popular with retail customers worldwide," commented Darryl McDonald, vice
president of Retail Enterprise Solutions for Teradata Division.  "Teradata
users experience true scalability and low operational costs, and the ability
to feed transaction-level data into the data warehouse gives them deep
insights to better serve their customers and achieve competitive advantage."
    Kmart's data warehouse is one of the largest that Teradata has installed
to date.  A terabyte is one trillion bytes.  For comparison, a trillion
seconds is 31,688 years and a trillion inches equals 15,700,000 miles or
30 round trips from the earth to the moon.
