Teradata has announced three new as-a-service solutions for its Vantage platform. The aim is to increase the flexibility for customers working on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. That’s what ZDNet reports.
Teradata Vantage is the new name for what used to be the company’s Analytics Platform. Founded in 2017, the platform should provide access to “the best features and leading engines to enable customers across the organization to use their favorite tools and languages across multiple datatypes”. The name change should reflect the change of direction towards the converged cloud and hybrid architectures.
But not only has the name of the platform been changed, new services are also added. First of all, Vantage will be available as an as-a-service for Amazon Web Services. This solution should speed up and simplify procurement. In addition, it must add flexible capacity to the service. In addition, Vantage as-a-service appears for on-premises. This solution aims to bring the benefits of as-a-service to analytical systems in customer data centers.
The latter solution focuses on security, and specifically on disaster recovery. Disaster Recovery as a Service is a new option for customers who work on premise, offering a public cloud environment managed by Teradata, which can be set up quickly if there is downtime.
Fastest growing product
According to Reema Poddar, product chief at the company, Vantage is one of the fastest growing products in the history of Teradata. That’s why the company has decided to bring more as-a-service options to the Vantage ecosystem.
The new as-a-service-services are now available through the Marketplace of Amazon Web Services in most of the AWS Regions worldwide. Vantage is now also available as an as-a-service for on-premise customers with substantial data ecosystems and investments. As-a-service-services can now be purchased directly through Teradata by using Amazon Web Services, Azure or Teradata infrastructure, according to the company.
