Teradata, the connected multi-cloud data platform company, announced its continued innovation and commitment to the cloud with new capabilities for Vantage on Microsoft Azure.
Teradata Vantage is the leading enterprise multi-cloud data analytics software platform which enables deep analytics that drive meaningful, industry-specific business outcomes for customers. Delivered as-a-service, Vantage on Azure helps companies to start small and gradually scale compute and storage independently, and when needed. Pricing model flexibility allows customers to choose how they apply resources to different sized data workloads.
Long-time Teradata customer Intertoys, the largest retail toy store chain in the Netherlands, leverages first- and third-party data to help uncover insights into demand, trends, and seasonality. Intertoys opted for Microsoft Azure as their preferred cloud service provider and Teradata Vantage as their cloud data analytics platform.
Robin Tichler, IT Manager, Intertoys, B.V., said: “We did testing with multiple cloud vendors, but Teradata is the best-in-class when performing complex queries and handling data volume.”
“We can easily scale up and down. Teradata is also rated at the top by leading analyst firms in terms of scaling to handle large data volumes, query response times, concurrency, and query complexity.”
