Software included with Vantage on VMware depends on the chosen Vantage license tier. See Teradata Vantage License Tiers.
| Software Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Teradata Vantage | Includes SQL Engine and other capabilities that will vary based on customer requirements. Provides the same full-feature data warehouse software that powers analytics at many of the world's greatest companies, and is available with local or shared storage. |
| Teradata Data Mover | Used for regular periodic tasks including populating a dependent data mart from an enterprise data warehouse as well as special one-time tasks such as moving data to a test system. This software is sold, deployed, and supported separately. |
| Teradata Data Stream Controller (DSC) | Provides administrative functions and metadata storage and is a key component of the backup and restore of Teradata systems. The DSC is an administrative server required to enable object-level backup and restore of Vantage. It contains a repository for all backup and restore job definitions as well as related configuration details for Teradata systems and backup targets. This software must be deployed at the same time as SQL Engine. It cannot be deployed separately. |
| Teradata Parallel Upgrade Tool | Provides a way to upgrade Vantage and other Teradata software. This software is bundled with Vantage. |
| Teradata QueryGrid | Provides seamless, high performing data access, processing, and movement across one or more data sources. This software is sold, deployed and supported separately. |
| Teradata® Query Service | Provides an interface to Vantage allowing application developers a simplified, modern interface to connect to data from a web page or application. Packaged and deployed with Teradata® Viewpoint. For information, see Teradata® Query Service Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade Guide for Customers, B035-2700. |
| Teradata Server Management | Monitors the VM and generates alerts related to database and operating system errors and operational state changes. Vantage on VMware supports multiple Computer Management Interface Controllers (CMICs). Multiple CMICs provide high availability and management of larger database systems. High availability requires at least two CMICs. Each CMIC can manage up to 70 nodes with reserve capacity to manage an additional 70 failover nodes from another CMIC. This software must be deployed at the same time as SQL Engine. It cannot be deployed separately. |
| Teradata Studio™ | Provides a desktop tool for performing database administration, query development, and management tasks. This software is obtained from https://downloads.teradata.com/ and is installed and configured separately from other software components. |
| Teradata Tools and Utilities | Provides utilities and libraries for integrating your Teradata system into your enterprise and streamlining the daily data warehouse management tasks, such as moving massive volumes of data, accessing multiple data sources in parallel, and improving your overall Teradata system performance. This software is bundled with Vantage but installed and configured separately. |
| Teradata Unity | Provides the ability to synchronize multiple Teradata Database systems for high availability, disaster recovery, and workload optimization. Teradata Unity enables routing of users and queries between Teradata Database systems to balance applications and workloads. With Unity, systems work like one analytical ecosystem, so you can manage database changes and query routing to automatically maintain consistency across your environment. This software is sold, deployed, and supported separately. |
| Teradata Viewpoint | Provides an easy to use web-based management portal for Teradata performance and health management. It provides a consistent interface using configurable portlets which allow you to customize your systems management dashboard. This software must be deployed at the same time as SQL Engine. It cannot be deployed separately. |
