“VantageCloud Lake expands Teradata’s addressable market by complementing the VantageCloud Enterprise providing. Teradata is already well-engaged in data-intensive industries however VantageCloud Lake may decrease the boundaries to adoption by smaller corporations and digital natives and strengthen Teradata’s aggressive positioning in relation to different cloud-native analytics knowledge platform choices,” stated Matt Aslett, vp and analysis director at Ventana Analysis.
The brand new product does a one-up on Snowflake because it gives a extra fashionable structure harnessing low-cost object storage and cloud-native serverless scaling, stated Doug Henschen, principal analyst, Constellation Analysis.
“VantageCloud Lake delivers the straightforward self-service deployment and serverless auto-scaling capabilities that Snowflake is understood for, but it surely additionally gives the superior analytics and knowledge science choices by means of ClearScape Analytics,” Henschen added.
Snowflake appears to have simply scratched the floor by way of the depth and breadth of information science capabilities that corporations want with its Snowpark providing and the current addition of help for Python, Henschen stated.
Nonetheless, the analyst identified that VantageCloud Lake version’s administrative self-service and auto scaling capabilities are the primary draw for mid-sized corporations and departments uncertain of their analytical knowledge platform wants.
