Tera-Tom here!  Imagine you are the CEO of your own business, and you were given an opportunity to partner with any other company in the world.  Who would you choose?  I would choose Amazon, and that is exactly what we did.  I am excited to announce that Coffing Data Warehousing and Amazon have officially teamed up.  I think we are the perfect team and here is why.

Over the next decade, the new normal for companies will be to store and process their data on the cloud.  One of the biggest reasons is flexibility.  Did you know that you can order an instance of almost any database on the Amazon cloud, and instantly load and go?  Another reason is price.  You can create an instance of Amazon’s Redshift columnar database in a price range of $1,000 per terabyte per year.

The cloud has come at the perfect time.  Companies need to work with a wide variety of databases; traditional databases, in-memory databases, columnar databases, and the new star on the block, Hadoop.  Companies also need to be able to perform traditional SQL queries and MapReduce functions.  Just the ability to perform proof of concepts quickly and inexpensively on a wide-variety of databases is invaluable to any company.

That is what makes our agreement with Amazon so perfect.  While Amazon allows companies to build instances of any database in the cloud, our Nexus software is now rentable on the Amazon cloud.

10 years ago, we predicted that companies would begin to access dozens of databases in a distributed environment.  So we built the Nexus to access and query every database.  Now, Amazon allows you to create instances of any vendor database.  You can test on the cloud with easy setup and no hardware, and the Nexus can ingeniously help you because it works in every environment.  It’s so easy, I’ve set up instructions for you so you can begin renting right now.

Our Nexus on Amazon will ensure that the experience of working with every database, including Hadoop, is the best possible experience of any BI tool on the market today.  Nexus fans love its power, flexibility, seamless integration, but especially its ease.  How can this environment not be successful?

Here are instructions for setting up your own instance of Nexus on the Amazon cloud.

  1. If you don’t have an account already, create one here:  http://aws.amazon.com/.  If you have an account, please sign in.
  2. Follow these instructions to begin using Nexus:  http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/launch-marketplace-console.html (In step 3, search for the word “Nexus” to find our software).

Sincerely,

Tom
