Isn’t great to see that product engineering and marketing actually do know how to read and write? I mean look at their lame posts on this thread. If only they could apply themselves the same way when working……

So how many customers bought this thing? Last I heard there were 4 small deployments. One of them was owned by us (transcendental)…
May be we need to ring another bell (alarm bell)

I think that the naming was probably outsourced to a competitor’s marketing team….given that it’s a direct copy it was considered easier for them to do the job.

Unfortunately, they decided to land us with this cr-p - something that no one will remember in the passing of time.

Vantage was a rename of the “Teradata Analytics Platform” four years ago which was a rename of the Teradata Database. Since the Graph and Machine Learning Engines + Object Store didn’t work, Vantage Cloud Lake is the 4th name. Now they have three products, one is legacy, compared to Snowflake’s simple Data Cloud. The legacy/enterprise solution is not cloud-native. Put a tent over this circus!

“ Moreover, the addition of VantageCloud Lake to the VantageCloud platform is expected to continue helping Teradata sustain its customer momentum.”

Momentum off of Teradata.

Yeah, I was so d-mb that Teradata fired me. Paid me off and I went to Snowflake.

They made things really simple for me and now I understand those complex issues that only one company can fix.

I spend my time working with customers on projects that deliver results.

I’ve even managed to take my whole-self to work a couple of times which has been liberating.

The Snowflake ki---r is 1-2 years late, the product was ready for release last year but no one wanted to take it. May be the NYSE bell request was denied earlier and we had to wait…

Snowflake has already captured the market and there are very little crumbs to nibble.

Didn’t realize you all were so d-mb that you can’t decipher a simple press release. Did Teradata fire you from being incompetent and d-mb in addition to being forever cry babies…

It’s the new VantageCloud Lake product that has storage compute separation and ability to do ObjectStore workload isolation. This will help departments and analytics projects to run without interrupting production. I was an early beta tester for this in the field and it just works!

Don't tell me, CT said "LAKE" is the new "FETCH" and everyone went with it?

Nothing new. Just renaming stuff and an admission that the core product is NOT cloud native. Terrible confusing naming too. Desperation is kicking in as the Snowflake snowball gets bigger and bigger…

Might as well have called it Vantage Death Rattle. Who came up with that cluster for naming? Not to mention the jargon filled press release with no mention of customer references. I had heard the new CMO was a disaster, I guess this proves it.

Here's what HA had to say about it. The quote is buzzword stew that makes no sense except the part about "recognized price performance leader" which is a blatant lie: "Teradata VantageCloud Lake is the result of a multi-year journey to create a new paradigm for data and analytics – one where superior performance, agility, and value all go hand-in-hand," said Hillary Ashton, Chief Product Officer at Teradata. "VantageCloud Enterprise – our established Vantage in the cloud offering – is the recognized price performance leader in the market. Teradata VantageCloud Lake offers all of those same benefits in a package that is appealing to diverse functions and roles, opening up an entirely new market segment for us. With Teradata VantageCloud Lake, we now support all analytic workload needs at every level in the organization, enabling companies to be more nimble, experimental, and innovative in an easy-to-use solution without losing the governance and cost visibility that Teradata is known for."
