Externally Managed Open Table Format (OTF) - Native Iceberg Reads - Teradata® VantageCloud Enterprise on AWS

Native Open Table Format (OTF) allows customers to query Apache Iceberg tables directly from their lakehouse without copying or ingesting the data into VantageCloud. With VantageCloud Enterprise DIY 3.2, this capability is now available with competitive read performance on AWS DIY. This enables customers to modernize their analytics while continuing to use DIY (software only) deployments.

Native OTF delivers performant reads of lakehouse to customers:

• Query Iceberg data in place
• Avoid data duplication costs
• Use Vantage analytics on open table formats
• Support lakehouse architectures
• Maintain full control with DIY deployments

This feature is particularly relevant for customers already investing in data lakes who want high performance analytics without copying or moving data.
