Delivers self-service and rapid advanced analytics at scale. Key benefits: rapid time-to-value, analytic agility, and quantifiable financial incentives. Users can quickly provision an analytic sandbox in the cloud and leverage Aster's prebuilt SQL-based analytics to accelerate model development.

(1) Rapid Time-to-Value: Once a model demonstrates value, it can be moved to a "production" instance to drive business value - or if the experiment fails, move on quickly.

(2) Analytic Agility: Analytics is experimental, where analysts want to create a sandbox to test or prove their ideas or combine new or 3rd party data with in-house data to find new insights. Teradata Aster Analytics provides the analyst with a powerful set of multi-genre analytics where they can experiment and iterate on massive volumes of data for as long as they need.

(3) Quantifiable financial incentives: Many businesses prefer to minimize their up-front investment in advanced analytics technology. Teradata Aster Analytics allows businesses to experiment with prebuilt advanced analytics functions to uncover new insights in their data. Financial incentives include leveraging AWS instead of procuring new hardware, reducing the cost of setup and implementation, and reducing administration cost.

NOTE: This AMI uses a 350 GB EBS volume for root disk and application software - and customers can choose from 1 TB, 4 TB, or 8 TB EBS volumes for data.
