Migrate to Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift is fully managed and simple to use, enabling you to deploy a new data warehouse in minutes and load virtually any type of data from a range of cloud or on-premises data sources. It automates most of the common administrative tasks to manage, monitor, and scale your data warehouse, so you can spend your time on more productive, needle-moving endeavors. It delivers fast query performance, improves I/O efficiency, and scales up or down as your performance and capacity needs change.

With your data warehouse on AWS, you can go beyond data loaded on to local disks and query vast amounts of unstructured data in your Amazon S3 data lake - without having to load or transform any data. You can query data in open formats, including CSV, TSV, Parquet, Sequence, and RCFile. Having your data available in open formats in your data lake ultimately gives you the flexibility to use the right engine for different analytical needs.

Start small at $0.25 per hour and scale up to petabytes for under $1,000 per terabyte per year. Pay for compute and storage separately and only pay for the storage you use. Use pause and resume for clusters not in use and know how much you'll spend with predictable monthly costs. Amazon Redshift is at least 50% less expensive than all other cloud data warehouses and less than one-tenth the cost of most on-premises systems.

Redshift is the world’s fastest cloud data warehouse and gets faster every year, so you can derive insights from your data even more quickly. For performance intensive workloads, you can use the new RA3 instances to get up to 3x the performance of any cloud data warehouse.
