Teradata Vantage on VMware offers many Vantage features including, but not limited to, those listed in this topic. Not all features listed below are included in all Vantage tiers. See Teradata Vantage License Tiers. Although the package is included in the Teradata Database VM, you still need to install and configure it.
- Automatic indicates you do not have to install or configure the feature and can begin using the feature after a VM is launched.
- Manual indicates you must install and configure the feature using the Vantage documentation, similar to on-premises systems. Features that require Teradata Customer Support to enable are noted.
The following table does not include Vantage features that are enabled by default and are automatically installed and configured, such as Fallback. See Fallback. Fallback is mandatory for all Vantage license tiers and should not be disabled, as it can potentially result in data loss.
