SEPTEMBER 23, 2006

Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation, announced that it has shipped an
enhanced version of the Teradata database running on the 64-bit version of the
SUSE Linux Enterprise from Novell.

It is available globally for enterprise-class data warehouses. Teradata now
delivers the same enterprise-class scalability, availability and manageability
with the 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise operating system, as with the Windows
operating system and its own UNIX operating system, UNIX MP-RAS, a Teradata
statement said.

Scott Gnau, Vice President and General Manager of Teradata research and
development, said, “With the addition of 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise to the
list of operating systems, Teradata provides its data warehousing customers yet
another choice. SUSE Linux Enterprise further enables the powerful Teradata
enterprise data warehouse to integrate seamlessly into even the most complex and
open IT architectures.”

Teradata selected Novell and its SUSE Linux Enterprise platform because it
provides a full range of industry-leading Linux services to support large-scale
enterprises. In addition to making 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise available for
the database, Teradata already offers tools and utilities products that provide
the load and access connectivity to Teradata user applications on both SUSE
Linux Enterprise and Red Hat Linux.
