Teradata Database on VMware offers many Teradata Database features including, but not limited to, those listed in this topic. Not all features listed below are included in all Teradata Database tiers. See Teradata Database License Tiers. Although the package is included in the Teradata Database VM, you still need to install and configure it.

The following terms are used in the table below:
  • Automatic indicates you do not have to install or configure the feature and can begin using the feature after a Teradata Database VM is launched.
  • Manual indicates you must install and configure the feature using the Teradata Database documentation, similar to on-premises systems. Features that require Teradata Customer Support to enable are noted.

The following table does not include Teradata Database features that are enabled by default and are automatically installed and configured, such as Fallback. See Fallback. Fallback is mandatory for all Teradata Database license tiers and should not be disabled, as it can potentially result in data loss.

For information on how to install and configure the listed features, see the Documentation column.
