ABSTRACT
Teradata Universe 2019 allowed 2,000+ attendees to see over 250 customer sessions and workshops highlighting Teradata’s technology in real-world, and often highly complicated, environments. Attendees felt their goal of seeing what worked for others was met by the conference. Major announcements by Teradata included their Cloud Forward/Cloud First initiatives and the introduction of Teradata Vantage to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Teradata Vantage, which can leverage object store in Azure and AWS, is available “as a service,” and can be purchased on a consumption basis. Teradata officially entered the analytics market with the announcement of Vantage Analysts and Teradata Customer Experience. Teradata’s Hadoop Migration Program announcement was well received by those with large installations.
