Vantage Delivered in the Cloud

Cloud analytics is a solid tool to address the increasingly challenging requirements for analytics: exploding data sources, mandates to minimize data center footprints, pressure to move quickly, and resource and talent shortages.

To address these needs, many enterprises are looking to cloud analytics as-a-service to modernize infrastructure, accelerate time-to-value, and reduce financial risk—and offload non-differentiating tasks and enable in-house staff to focus on value-add.

Focus on answers, not IT Teradata Vantage™ provides the ideal solution to these requirements when consumed as-a-service because it includes Teradata software, high-performance infrastructure, and environment services — all packaged together. This “analytics as-a-service” offer manages the performance, security, availability, and operations of customers’ analytic infrastructure so that company personnel can focus on answers, not IT.

Analytic Use Cases Whether the use case is production analytics, test and development, quality assurance, data labs, or disaster recovery, Vantage delivered as-a-service enables customers to get the most value from their analytics investment, have peace of mind about security and compliance, enjoy higher uptime with greater business continuity, and free up time for in-house resources to do higher-value-add activities.

Analytics As-a-Service Benefits

Performance

Regardless of deployment environment — Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Teradata Cloud, or On-Premises— customers get the most performant analytics software anywhere. No alternative comes close to the industry-leading performance of Teradata Vantage.

Security

Teradata treats data security as the number one priority for its as-a-service offerings. Industry best practices are overseen by a team of experts empowered to keep threats at bay. Third-party audits demonstrate compliance with GDPR, PCI, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and SOC 1 and 2 standards.

Availability

Teradata contractually guarantees the availability of customers’ analytics environments with a Service Level Agreement for up to 99.9% uptime. Higher uptime enables more productive users, and Teradata backs up customer data daily to help ensure business continuity.

Operations

Teradata handles infrastructure-level tasks — including software patches, version upgrades, performance reporting, and support ticket resolution — so that customers can focus on managing outcomes rather than infrastructure.

Accelerating Business Value

As-a-service analytics help organizations accelerate business value. Flat rate subscriptions, multiple software tiers, and simplified bundles matched to workload requirements reduce the need for large capital outlays, let customers predict and align costs with operational budgets, and de-risk deployment decisions. Teradata software consistency and application portability allow companies to easily migrate from on-premises to the cloud, or span deployment modes, so that customers can leverage previous investments and never feel locked in.

For additional value-add, the Teradata services team can help customers architect, implement, and manage entire analytics ecosystems. Through decades of catering to the largest, most demanding customers in the world, Teradata experts have the business acumen and deep technical skills it takes to help firms gain the most insight from their data.

Proven Cost Savings and Convenience

Teradata software delivered as-a-service has been proven to help customers achieve measurable cost savings and business benefits. In a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on the Total Economic Impact of the analytics as-a-service solution in a hybrid cloud environment, a customer in the media and publishing industry realized a payback in less than six months, based on a three-year subscription.

Don’t Believe the Hype When contemplating alternatives for enterprise analytics as-a-service, it’s easy to become distracted by bold claims about cloud benefits yet lose sight of the original requirement: getting answers from data leading to better business outcomes. Having flexibility, elasticity, scalability, and pay-as-you-go consumption count for little if the environment cannot fully support current and future business needs, or requires customers to re-code, re-train, and re-orient the entire analytic ecosystem. This is where Vantage delivered as-a-service stands above all others.

Consistent Business Support

The same software, everywhere

The fundamental advantage of the approach used by Teradata is availability of the same software everywhere, so users get consistent and reliable features across all environments.

License Portability

The freedom to move

License portability means customers are never locked in; firms have the option to change deployment modes whenever they choose to do so and are free to move around as desired.

Value Delivered

Lowest cost per query

Alternatives may advertise a lower cost per node-hour or lower cost per terabyte of storage, but what really matters is the amount of work an organization can do with the resources they have. No alternative comes close to Teradata in this regard; the focus is on value delivered, not price paid.

Expert Support Services

Optional assistance available

The large, experienced Teradata Services team—experts in strategy, data engineering, data science, and managed services—can help customers architect, implement, and manage their entire analytic ecosystem, not simply the Teradata portion.
