Special Report: IBM, Oracle, SAP, and Teradata Data Warehouse Platforms
The demand for cloud data platforms has increased as organizations look to leverage big data, drive digital transformation, and achieve greater operational agility. The transition from traditional on-premises data warehouses to cloud-based solutions offers advantages such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Our latest special report examines the offerings and positioning of four legacy vendors in the cloud data warehouse space: IBM, Oracle, SAP, Teradata.
In an overall view of the market, legacy vendors—typically those that had products available before the onslaught of cloud computing—are frequently pushed to the side, the very fact of their longevity having the effect of making them less shiny and attractive to a new set of buyers. But this typical approach has the effect of overlooking two major strengths that are unique to these legacy vendors.
- These legacy database vendors have products which have been in production for longer than the cloud has been in existence and in development, in some cases, for decades. Both the development span, which allows vendors to create truly deep functionality, and the deployment duration, which allowed vendors to work with their enterprise customers to understand issues and address them, contribute to a level of robustness which is not proven in newer, flashier vendors.
- These legacy database vendors also have a significant overall market share, based on systems designed and implemented years ago. Moving these systems is nontrivial, and most companies will not move them to other database vendors before they reach their end of life. For legacy systems, this is years, if not decades into the future.
