Teradata announced its first serverless AI/ML engine in the cloud, called Teradata AI Unlimited. The new offering, unveiled at Microsoft Ignite, is natively integrated into Microsoft Fabric and OneLake, which is Fabric’s unified, multi-cloud data lake. By allowing data scientists, data engineers and developers to seamlessly explore and discover innovative new use cases, on-demand and using data at scale, Teradata AI Unlimited enhances historical data platforms and is designed to make AI innovation faster, easier and more cost-effective.
The seamless integration of Teradata AI Unlimited with Microsoft Fabric helps data innovators to operate at their best – with access to vast amounts of data and unlimited flexibility to explore, create and experiment. AI Unlimited compliments the mission critical Teradata VantageCloud system managed by IT, expanding governed access to data and ClearScape Analytics to enable new patterns of innovation via free-flowing trial and error without the fear of cost overruns.
Teradata AI Unlimited maintains Teradata commitment to an open and connected ecosystem, offering the right tools required for design and iteration of analytical models – speeding the release of new products that leverage AI. When a prototype is ready, it can be smoothly transitioned into a production VantageCloud environment, a unique capability that can make AI enablement a reality.
