This is a marketing article. I have not used teradata or exadata. I think Teradata is basically Oracle running on custom hardware sold by Oracle that is specialized for DB performance.

anyone know what they mean by "shared disk"? Its on page 2. I'd like to avoid an oracle fan argument. I know people who have used teradata and find it a very a good product.

While Exadata improves Oracle’s I/O performance, Exadata does not tackle Oracle’s underlying performance and scalability problems with large-scale data warehousing that stem from its shared disk architectural foundation.
