Updated Enterprise data warehouse stalwart Teradata has capped a difficult year with an update to Teradata QueryGrid, which promises to connect customers to a vast array of new data sources – a decidedly underwhelming move, according to some.
Teradata has partnered with Starburst Data to integrate a new Presto connector so that users of Teradata s Vantage analytics platform can access and query a gamut of cloud and on-premises data sources.
