The shift to the cloud is resulting in the solidification of four categories in operational and analytical data. The cloud data warehouse, similar to Teradata, is becoming more sophisticated and cloud native. The data lake and data lake house, which originated from the Hadoop world, are converging with the cloud data warehouses to support data scientists and predictive features. This convergence is creating one broad category of analytical databases with four distinct categories within it.
