Estimate future budgets based on your workloads
To estimate your actual budget requirements, look at your production use cases that show workloads at scale.
Running data analytics in the cloud can be surprisingly expensive. Analyst firm Gartner predicts that by 2022, 75 percent of organizations using cloud data management systems will experience budget overruns. Let us help you better understand the actual cloud data analytics costs, what pricing works best for your business, and how to avoid surprises.
Learn how to choose the right data analytics solution in the cloud based on these 6 factors for success.
Estimate future budgets based on your workloads
To estimate your actual budget requirements, look at your production use cases that show workloads at scale.
Get expert guidance when migrating to the cloud
Don’t listen to claims that migrating to the cloud is simple—it’s a complex process that can drive budget overruns.
Avoid unexpected costs and keep your projects alive
As user demand changes, automatic scaling can deliver an unexpected bill that can kill your project and your reputation.
Meet service level goals with software first
You need mature software that can be optimized to meet service level goals without the incremental cost of compute resources.
Demand flexible cloud pricing
Flexible pricing will enable you to manage your costs and meet the needs of ever-changing user demand.
Measure price-performance
Look for lowest cost per query. Vendors deliver multiple different metrics to make their solutions look the most attractive.

Starting at $5 per hour compute, and 19 cents per terabyte per hour storage, Teradata Vantage offers refreshingly affordable cloud pricing—no matter what you require from your data analytics in the cloud.
Initial startup savings of cloud-only data warehouses can quickly devolve into unexpected—and unwelcome—cost spikes at scale.
The ability for Teradata customers to choose the most appropriate pricing for each data analytic workload facilitates financial guardrails and improves your organization’s return on investment.
Blended Pricing means there’s no billing surprises or sticker shock, while Consumption Pricing means there’s complete freedom to only pay for what is used.
In this side-by-side comparison, the difference between Vantage and the competition is clear. Only Vantage offers the choice, truly predictable and transparent pricing, and elasticity your needs, PLUS the lowest pricing at scale.
