Here are the Teradata Q4 and full FY2022 earnings results by the numbers:

It is also well positioned for customers that are utilizing existing infrastructure more, while slowing certain workload migrations to the public cloud.

That was Teradata’s largest quarter of cloud ARR growth ever, which was highlighted in an earnings call by Steve McMillan, Teradata’s president and CEO. It was a good ARR boost for the cloud data and analytics vendor and its executive team as the company continues to follow its road map to better serving its customers while growing revenue.

While Teradata’s public cloud revenue total is still relatively small so far, its public cloud ARR is impressive, especially its 77 percent growth YoY. We like the high amount of predictable revenue that Teradata is seeing.
