Legacy data warehouses are no longer excusable for global enterprises. The current worldwide health crisis has forced companies into a new digital norm, leaving no doubt that modernization is a requirement for sustainable efficiency, productivity, and scalability.
The cloud is more accessible than ever, and Amazon Redshift is the most popular and fastest cloud data warehouse on the market. For proof of scalability empowerment, look no further than Lyft who grew with Redshift from a start up to a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
Modernize now
Enterprise data warehouse modernization delivers maximized return on investment (ROI) with upfront hardware or license costs— and run your data warehouse for a fraction of traditional solution cost.
Integration is optimized by empowering enterprises to query large data sets of virtually any format from AWS S3 without transforming or loading the data. Build high-quality datasets with Redshift SQL and offload to your data lake with no additional extract, transform, load (ETL) development.
Simplicity is a welcome benefit for any company—crisis or no—and Redshift delivers here as well. Deploy, scale, and manage your Redshift Data Warehouse in minutes, with routine administration tasks and automated monitoring—out of the box. That’s frictionless modernization.
