Matching The Cloud Database To Real Workload Needs
Blocks & Files, Thursday, June 6th, 2024
It's easy to see why running enterprise applications in the cloud seems like a no-brainer for chief information officers (CIOs) and other C-suite executives.
Apart from the prospect of unlimited resources and platforms with predictable costs, cloud providers offer managed services for key infrastructure and applications that promise to make the lives of specific tech teams much, much easier.
When it comes to databases, for example, the burden and costs involved in deploying or creating database copies and in performing other day-to-day tasks just melt away. The organization is always working with the most up-to-date version of its chosen applications. Cloud providers may offer a variety of nontraditional database services, such as in-memory, document, or time-series options, which can help the organization squeeze the maximum value out of its data. That's the headline version anyway.
