The company was formed in 1979 in Brentwood, California, as a collaboration between researchers at Caltech and Citibank's advanced technology group.

The flagship Teradata product is referred to as a "data warehouse system" which stores and manages data. The data warehouses use a "shared nothing architecture", which means that each server node has its own memory and processing power. Adding more servers and nodes increases the amount of data that can be stored. The database software runs on the servers and spreads the workload among them. In 2010, Teradata added text analytics to track unstructured data, such as word processor documents, and semi-structured data, such as spreadsheets.
