A cloud data warehouse is similar to a traditional data warehouse, except that it is hosted on the cloud. In addition to typical benefits of data warehouses, which are used for analytics, and storage, cloud data warehouses are highly scalable and accessible, so analysts can efficiently perform analytics from a variety of sources simultaneously. Once they are implemented, cloud data warehouses also boast excellent usability. They update automatically, and it’s simple to expand capacity as a business's storage needs increase.
Below are some of the most common features included in cloud data warehouse solutions.
Automatic upgrades
Flexible scaling
Data analytics
Data storage
Data management
Cloud data warehouses are typically priced by the hour based on usage and performance needs. Organizations that purchase from a vendor following this pricing model can expect to pay at least $0.20 per hour, or more if they have high capacity or performance needs. Many vendors also offer free trials, which are usually either limited based on time, based on storage capacity. Another option is to pay by the query, which means you are only paying for what you use, but budgeting can be difficult since it depends on how users manage the warehouse.
