It’s no secret that Teradata customers are looking to replace their aging technology with Databricks. Teradata pushing its customers aggressively to Vantage, its own cloud offering, just increased their customers’ anxiety. If there’s one thing IT leaders despise, it’s vendor lock-in. And that’s exactly what they are experiencing right now.
To migrate away from Vantage, an SI will readily charge you up to 10x your annual Vantage spend. Let that sink in. If your annual Vantage list price is about $1m, a migration will run you at least $7m-$10m. All in, a typical mid-range system will cost easily $20m-$30m to migrate and decommission.
The reason conventional database migrations are so expensive is the enormous amount of manual labor required. In short, despite a plethora of tools and even LLMs, the lion’s share of a migration remains dependent on manual intervention. System Integrators are key to make existing applications work on the new platform exactly as they did on the old one.
At Datometry, we’re breaking this crippling vendor lock-in with a platform expressly engineered to make existing applications and systems written for Teradata work instantly with any modern data warehouse. Today, we offer Teradata customers the following simple, yet powerful deal: migrate from Teradata to Databricks for 1x your annual Vantage spend.
What’s the offer?
Our offer is a full-service migration from Vantage to Databricks. If you’re on Teradata today and eager to move to Databricks this offer is for you. It comprises re-platforming of all existing workloads, including ETL/ELT, BI, and analytics.
What’s included? The offer includes the license for all Datometry software components for the duration of the migration. We also provide all services needed to re-platform application workloads from Teradata to Databricks. Besides schema conversion and data transfer, this also covers the validation of data.
The total time needed is dependent on the complexity of your workloads and the agility of your organization. We’ve moved major Enterprise Data Warehouses in as little as 9 months what would have taken years with the conventional approach. The faster you can move, the quicker we get you there.
The entire process will require the investment of the equivalent of the list price for 1 year of Vantage appropriate for your current workloads.
How does this offer work?
You’re probably wondering, how can Datometry offer a migration that undercuts the competition by 85%? How can they save me $15-$25m?
The simple answer is Datometry replaces with software what conventional migrations accomplish otherwise through manual labor. The Datometry Hyper-Q middleware makes existing applications and systems work with Databricks with no or minimal changes to your environment.
Forget the hassle of code converters that require major software development projects to apply and still offer no solution for third party software. Datometry is the industry’s first platform that provides translations and emulations in real time, overcoming the limitations of other approaches. SQL statements and API calls, all work as before, ensuring that applications continue to deliver the business value you’ve come to expect from them.
Who qualifies for the offer?
Any Teradata customer may apply for this offer, regardless of if they are operating still on premises or are already a Vantage customer. If you’re still on premises, Datometry will determine the price for a year of Vantage based on our analysis of your workloads. We will quote you that price for the migration.
Datometry performs an analysis of your Teradata workloads to determine if they are suitable for Databricks. As part of our analysis, we will identify any issues and suggest mitigation strategies, if applicable.
Most importantly, however, we work with your organization through the qualification and advise you on what approach to take. We pride ourselves having executed the most Teradata takeouts of any organization. We’re confident, we’ll find the right solution for you.
