Amazon Redshift
Fast, simple, cost-effective data warehouse that can extend queries to your data lake
Amazon Redshift is a fast, scalable data warehouse that makes it simple and cost-effective to analyze all your data across your data warehouse and data lake. Redshift delivers ten times faster performance than other data warehouses by using machine learning, massively parallel query execution, and columnar storage on high-performance disk. You can setup and deploy a new data warehouse in minutes, and run queries across petabytes of data in your Redshift data warehouse, and exabytes of data in your data lake built on Amazon S3. You can start small for just $0.25 per hour and scale to $250 per terabyte per year, less than one-tenth the cost of other solutions.

Scale quickly to meet your needs
Amazon Redshift enables you to scale from querying gigabytes to exabytes of data across your Redshift data warehouse and Amazon S3 data lake. Quickly analyze any size of data in S3 with no loading or ETL required, and easily resize your Redshift cluster with just a few clicks on the console or a simple API call. With Redshift, you can scale up or down as your needs change.
Query your data lake
Amazon Redshift extends your data warehouse to your data lake to help you gain unique insights that you could not get by querying independent data silos. You can directly query open data formats stored in Amazon S3 with Redshift Spectrum, a feature of Redshift, without the need for unnecessary data movement. This enables you to analyze data across your data warehouse and data lake, together, with a single service.
