Most enterprises don’t have the time, interest or skill to continually monitor their cloud environments for efficiency—for example, to ensure that their instance sizes are adequate as application usage fluctuates; that they aren’t running idle virtual machines (VMs); or that they aren’t paying more than they need to.

While storage and applications can be whisked off to the cloud provider’s data center, many IT functions and related infrastructure—such as networking, voice, ...

Even if predictive maintenance were to become widespread in the manufacturing vertical, it would impact only one area of a manufacturer’s operations. BDA has the potential to leverage data collected through IoT—and almost 40 other areas—to do much more for manufacturing companies, in almost every corner of the enterprise. This report analyzes...

In this report, we examine the challenges enterprises face in migrating data and workloads to the cloud. We look at several approaches to handling data migration, as well as the benefits and liabilities of each approach from the enterprise customer’s perspective. Finally, we review the services offered by selected providers in the market.

This Stratecast report briefly explores why NoSQL databases came into existence in the first place; the pros and cons of these databases compared to relational DBs; how each of the two DB types is evolving to be more like the other; and how this has led to the development of SQL-based systems that can query all types of data. It then discusses two ...
