Cloud-only doesn’t cut it.

To stay competitive, many enterprises are modernizing their data analytics environments. The cloud delivers real benefits—more flexibility and agility, and quite often lower total cost of ownership. But simply moving to the cloud can sacrifice some premier capabilities they’ll need now—and in the long-term.

GET THE FACTS:

We've compiled a number of #MythBusters resources to help you better understand what modern cloud analytics mean, while determining which platform has the key capabilities essential for your success.

6 capabilities you need for a modern cloud analytics platform

Built for a hybrid multi-cloud world

Built for a Hybrid
Multi-Cloud World

Flexibility and portability facilitate deployment anywhere, including public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premises, while avoiding lock-in to any single cloud or architectural choice.

Separation of compute and storage with elastic scaling

Separation of Compute and
Storage with Elastic Scaling

This modern capability cost-effectively supports the demands of both data and users without excess, unused capacity, while enabling self-service scale/up/down/in/out and start/stop without IT intervention.

Integration with first-party cloud services

Integration with First
Party Cloud Services

The ability to natively integrate with cloud  services accelerates solution deployment. A modern platform integrates with services across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and/or Google.

Ingestion of modern data sources

Ingestion of Modern
Data Sources

Data types and data sources are multiplying—clickstreams, social media feeds, digital twins, and IoT—based sensor data. Harnessing all this information for a complete picture of the business is now table stakes.

Integrated data management and scalable analytics

Integrated Data Management
and Scalable Analytics

Unifying analytics and data management enables data exploration, modeling, and scoring at scale in a single, easy-to-use environment. It also offers the critical flexibility to implement complex algorithms with languages you already use.

Dynamic resource allocation and workload management

Dynamic Resource Allocation
and Workload Management

Demand on resources is dynamic and changes happen at the speed of thought. A modern platform must optimize those resources and workloads aligned to business priorities with ‘set-it-and-forget it’ controls.

Legacy is not a 4-letter word. But “BEST” is.

Some cloud startups will tell you that age does not equal wisdom. But against Teradata’s history of innovation, everything else seems like child’s play.
