Consumption-based pricing is a service provision-and-payment model in which you pay according to the resources that are running and available to execute on your workloads. You can control when compute resources are running or not, allowing for flexibility in cost management.

“Pay for what you use” means that the pricing is directly linked with what compute resources you use. You have the ability to control scaling and schedule workloads on compute clusters, turning them on and off when needed. Compute resources do not consume units when off.

No, pricing varies by region. Please contact your sales representative to get an accurate quote in your region.  

Packages can’t be customized. However, if you’re not using a product capability, it won’t consume any units and therefore won’t create additional costs for you. You can scale your compute clusters to add performance as needed. 

Premier Cloud Support is the base service level for public cloud. Premier Cloud customers are granted access to Teradata Support, where they can submit support cases for all severity levels and search community forums and knowledge articles for answers to common questions and concerns.

Priority Service is an add-on to Premier Cloud Support that provides the customer with enhanced levels of coverage and response as well as priority incident handling.

With the VantageCloud Lake package, you can scale your compute clusters to add performance with the compute clusters. Changes to cluster size will increase performance and impact the unit consumption rate.

Primary clusters and compute clusters consume units at different rates. These rates will be outlined in your cloud service description. 

Yes, you can schedule when compute clusters turn on and off to prevent unnecessary unit consumption. In addition, you can schedule when to spin up more compute clusters to reduce, maintain, or increase performance for workload peaks and valleys. You can view and monitor your resource consumption via the VantageCloud Lake Console, down to the department level. Future enhancements will allow for unit allocation to departments.  

Committed units must be used within each 12-month term; unused units do not roll over. At the end of a committed order’s term, unless you have turned off the VantageCloud Lake compute environment resources, further use of the environment will result in an on-demand order (on a month-to-month term) at the then-current, on-demand unit rate.

Consumption-based pricing is a service provision-and-payment model in which customers pay according to data they access and store. Units are consumed when data is accessed and stored on Teradata VantageCloud, but not upon activation. 

“Pay for what you use” means that the pricing is directly linked with what data are stored and accessed, but not upon activation. You will be charged a percentage of your units based on your system’s utilization.

No, pricing varies by region. Please contact your sales representative to get an accurate quote in your region.

Teradata offers multiple-instance sizing options across cloud service providers (CSPs) and scales intelligently based on actual usage rather than rudimentary conditions, maximizing resources and avoiding unnecessary costs.

Yes, with our intuitive, self-service console, you get full visibility and control over your usage across all instances. You can track usage and allocation and report at any level of detail—all while managing system scaling.
