Simplicity, Productivity, and Scale for Cloud Data Warehouses and Data Lakes
How to Achieve Cloud-Native Analytics Nirvana
Cloud is a key enabler to every digital transformation initiative, and we’re seeing the adoption of cloud increasing exponentially. Over 80% of workloads are expected to be run in the cloud this year and the same number are expected to move between clouds (Source: Forbes, Logic Monitor Cloud Adoption).
But why do most cloud data warehouse and data lake projects fail to deliver expected results?
As enterprises build, consolidate, or modernize analytics in the cloud, a key concern is the data. The problem is many organizations struggle to see the expected time to value and ROI from their cloud data warehouse and data lake due to lack of holistic and end to end data management.
Let’s take a close look at some of the challenges with current data management approaches:
One of the key challenges that organizations face while modernizing their data warehouse or data lake in the cloud is how to easily and rapidly ingest and hydrate these from various siloed sources like files, databases, streaming, and IoT devices. The next challenge comes once they land their data in a cloud-native data warehouse or data lake. How do you quickly and seamlessly access, manage, share, and move different workloads at scale from one cloud to another? How do you transform it for analytics consumption, especially when your data is in different formats, has varying dimensions, and changes often? How do you make trusted data available for everyone? How do you make it secured and governed?
As customers drive their cloud-native data warehouse and data lake implementations, 78% seek data and analytics solutions that are easy, reliable, and simple to use. Many engage in manual hand-coding, which renders them unproductive, slow, and exposed to risk. Administrative overhead of cloud data management infrastructure further slows them down and adds to costs. There is an acute need to scale up to handle the petabytes of data that will hit them hard in the near future.
With cloud-first, cloud-native data management you can accelerate your cloud analytics
Without taking a systematic and integrated approach to data quality and data management in their cloud data warehouses and data lakes enterprises will not be able to accelerate time to value, reduce costs, improve efficiency, increase scale, add flexibility, and deliver trusted, real-time insights for business decision making. A focused and comprehensive cloud-native data management strategy helps you realize faster time to value and ROI—whether you’re modernizing, consolidating, or just getting started in the cloud. It also future proofs your business with a multi-cloud strategy spanning the cloud platforms your business runs on: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, and more.
