A federal appeals court reversed the earlier ruling, reviving Teradata's claims.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lauren Castle |title=Appeals Court Undoes SAP Antitrust, IP Win in Teradata Suit (1) |url=https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/appeals-court-undoes-sap-antitrust-ip-win-in-teradata-suit |work=Bloomberg Law News |issue=19 December 2024}}</ref>

===Big data===
Teradata began to use the term "[[big data]]" in 2010. CTO [[Stephen Brobst]] attributed the rise of big data to "new media sources, such as [[social media]]."<ref>{{cite web|last=Salah-Ahmed|first=Amira|title=One-on-One with Teradata's CTO Stephen Brobst|url=http://thedailynewsegypt.com/it-a-telecom/one-on-one-with-teradatas-cio-stephen-brobst.html|date=May 4, 2011|work=The Daily Egypt News|access-date=December 13, 2011}}</ref> The increase in semi-structured and [[unstructured data]] gathered from online interactions prompted Teradata to form the "Petabyte club" in 2011 for its heaviest big data users.<ref name="Grant">{{cite web|last=Grant|first=Ian|title=Big data boosts Teradata growth|url=http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2011/04/11/246287/Big-data-boosts-Teradata-growth.htm|date=April 11, 2011|work=Computer Weekly|access-date=December 13, 2011}}</ref>

===Teradata Vantage analytics===
In October 2018, Teradata started calling the cloud analytics software product line Vantage.
