Enterprise Workloads Meet the Cloud

July 25, 2017

Companies are unsure if the cloud is ready for those key applications. More specifically, they are unsure about running the large databases that underpin applications in the cloud. That is not to say that there is a history of problems with databases in the cloud. Rather, there is a lack of experience with and information about such database usage and that makes companies reluctant to move mission critical applications to the cloud. Those applications are central to the business, of course and executives wonder if the cloud will be able to run them as well as their on-premises systems. Many are also asking if moving to the cloud will actually be an improvement. Will costs go really go down? Will response time improve? Or will they simply be doing the same things in a different way? In other words, is it worth the effort? The value lies not in replacing onpremises applications and workloads, but rather in using the cloud as a tool to create new value and support business results.

What is Fully Managed in the Cloud

whitePaper | January 22, 2020

Record numbers of businesses are investing in as-a-Service (XaaS) infrastructures and moving parts (or all) of their IT infrastructure to public clouds. Many of these same businesses are moving their databases to the cloud as part of this trend. Why? The promise of the cloud is easy setup, simplified management, guaranteed availability, and on-demand scalability all at a knowable price with no surprises. In the minds of companies moving their database to the cloud, this translates to a one-and-done decision that comes with a low overhead: database instances, on demand, with little to no oversight or hassle. You probably can even reduce the number of DBAs on staff! But is it true? In reality, cloud providers provide an excellent resource for creating and maintaining cloud database infrastructure, but do not provide the necessary technical expertise that gets the best business value out of your database. It is a company’s responsibility to develop, implement, and optimize the architecture that most serves their business goals.
