SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Datometry, the world-wide leader in database system virtualization announces the general availability of Datometry Client-side Tools & Utilities. Enterprises can now replatform from Teradata to modern cloud data warehouses without the typical barriers to entry. This software release will enable enterprises world-wide to eliminate common dependencies on the Teradata tool chain and accelerate their ability to move to cloud-native alternatives quickly.
Enterprises are looking to speed up their replatforming efforts of Enterprise Data Warehouse technology. However, when moving away from Teradata to modern cloud data warehouses, client-side tooling has long remained a significant obstacle. In particular, BTEQ and data APIs, including FastLoad and FastExport, have proven time-consuming and costly to replace due to their intricate interfaces.
Datometry Tools and Utilities (DTU) is the first functionally fully equivalent drop-in replacement for Teradata tools and utilities. It complements the Datometry Hyper-Q platform and gives companies a fast and powerful path when it comes to replatforming Teradata applications to the cloud. Enterprises can now simply substitute existing Teradata tools with DTU and leverage their long-standing investments in this space now directly for cloud data warehouses. This cuts down enterprise's time spent on replatforming from years to merely months and reduces the cost by over 80%. In addition, using modern networking protocol and encodings, DTU are distinctly faster and provide higher throughput compared to the legacy protocols underlying other solutions. This is especially important, when connecting business applications situated on premises to a cloud data warehouse.
"With DTU, we give IT leaders a powerful boost to break free from vendor lock-in," says Mike Waas, CEO of Datometry. "Datometry Hyper-Q lets enterprises replatform their Teradata footprint to a modern cloud data warehouse at a fraction of time, cost and risk. Datometry Tools and Utilities accelerate legacy clients. Without DTU enterprises remain locked in to an aging technology."
"We are truly impressed with the capabilities Datometry has developed," adds the IT director of a prominent CPG company. "We considered the reliance on Teradata tools a showstopper for our replatforming project. The ability to drop in Datometry's toolkit into existing workflows and even get a performance boost out of it has allowed us to accelerate the transition to cloud data warehouse drastically."
The Datometry Tools and Utilities (DTU) module is slated for General Availability as part of the upcoming Datometry Hyper-Q release.
