Teradata

• Teradata has two flexible cloud pricing options: Blended Pricing and Consumption Pricing.
• Blended Pricing "is an enterprise-class pricing model that couples low-cost, predictable reserved compute capacity with on-demand elasticity in which you pay only for compute resources used or activated, plus storage. Unlike legacy alternatives that force you to pay full-time for any peaks in usage, Teradata’s Blended Pricing enables you to get cloud elasticity when needed while also benefiting from the lowest cost at scale."
• Consumption Pricing focuses on "Zero down—pay only for what you use. This pricing model is an innovative, usage-based option with automatic elasticity in which you pay only for compute resources consumed for successful queries, measured down to the kilobyte by user, plus storage. Unlike capacity-based alternatives determined by whether compute instances are turned on or off, Teradata’s Consumption Pricing is strictly a function of usage. You need never worry about utilization, system sizing, or resource status since Teradata manages them, and you do not pay for what you do not use. For a true risk-free experience, there is even an on-demand, no-obligation option."
• On its website, Teradata does not present pricing in TB or in hours. Instead, it asks clients five questions, each of which has three options. By answering the questions, the client receives an annual and a per-query pricing estimate, along with a recommendation of the business model. All 243 possible variations/options has been presented in the spreadsheet.
