Teradata Migration to BigQuery
For most of us, on-premise Teradata environments are not keeping up with our requirements, which is a big part of why cloud-hosted migration is on the rise. StackPros is happily tasked with moving large amounts of data and workloads from Teradata into cloud storage platforms, particularly Google Cloud.
When we ask our clients about why they are bravely looking at stepping out of their on-premise comfort zone, they tell us:
• Their hardware scaling is falling short
• It takes monumental energy to manage database servers, parameters, and software
• System consumption and load times cause continuous anxiety
• The mountain of money required to keep the lights on could be better used elsewhere.
Ultimately, the needs and expectations of organizations who operate Teradata environments have evolved much more quickly than the technology, and this gap is continuing to widen. To resolve the full set of issues identified above, performing a migration from Teradata to BigQuery has proven to be an extremely effective solution.
Ready to migrate? We’ll show you how.
Why Google BigQuery:
• Serverless, highly scalable and low-cost
• Reduced environment management time, Google-unique features and capabilities
• Supports standard ANSI:2011 compliant SQL dialect, including free ODBC and JDBC drivers
• Data ingestion patterns can be simplified
• Built-in Machine Learning features executed directly through queries
• Streaming APIs enable Low Latency data access and Real-Time Analytics
• Flat-rate contracts available for customers migrating from Teradata
