Is Teradata Still Supported? End-of-Life Dates (2026)

If you still run Teradata
Teradata gives no calendar date for a release, so work out your own from the policy: three years of maintenance from the release's general availability, then up to two years of Extended Database Maintenance, then support with no patches. Ask Teradata for your release's End-of-Maintenance date in writing.
The realistic options:
- Upgrade the database release. Moving to a newer release gives you a later End-of-Maintenance date and keeps the platform.
- Buy Extended Database Maintenance. It adds critical patches for up to two years at extra cost, at Teradata's discretion. It requires a stable system with no growth in user load or planned large application changes, so it fits a system you intend to retire.
- Plan hardware separately. Hardware support lasts six years from the platform's Sales Discontinuation Date, so the appliance can age out before the software does.
- Migrate the warehouse. The Teradata to Snowflake guide covers scope, cost ranges and risks.
Data modernization companies lists suppliers for warehouse migrations, and modernization costs gives budget ranges.
