Born for the Enterprise, Stronger in the Cloud

Teradata, originally designed for complex enterprise platforms, has prioritized efficiency and cost-effectiveness for over 30 years. This focus has resulted in high performance with the least possible effort. As Teradata transitioned to the cloud, its enterprise roots provided advantages in maturity, robustness, cost-effectiveness, depth of parallel capabilities, and a variety of optimizations. The company’s experience has allowed it to address cloud challenges that other vendors may not yet recognize.

This white paper starts by highlighting the foundational characteristics of the Teradata database, then explores key evolutionary enhancements, and concludes with the impact of these competencies on Teradata’s cloud-native offering, VantageCloud Lake.
