Highlights from Modernizing Data Management for the Hybrid, Multi-Cloud World

Enhancing Data Management for New Hybrid Multi-Cloud Realities

The report begins with an article from Joe McKendrick entitled “Enhancing Data Management for New Hybrid Multi-Cloud Realities.” McKendrick is an author and independent researcher who also writes for Forbes and ZDNet with a focus on innovation, IT trends, and markets.

McKendrick leads with the assertion that “just about everyone” is turning to the cloud for advanced analytics capabilities in 2021, pointing out that while cloud services were long associated with cost savings via the pay-per-use subscription pricing model, they’re now seen as critical enablers of data-related functions that range from analytics to AI.

The author cites data from a survey by Unisphere Research, which found that 66% of respondents planned to use cloud-based solutions to reduce the time and cost of database management, and 30% considered cloud experiences a critical consideration when choosing their database infrastructure.

McKendrick then arrives at the core insight of this article: that while data-driven enterprises are growing more reliant on cloud services for basic database management, data must be managed proactively to ensure data quality, governance, and effective integration that drives value creation.

He goes on to highlight seven key areas of concern.

What’s the Future-proof Solution for Your Business?

ChaosSearch’s contribution to this edition of the BDQ Best Practices Series, titled “Data Lake vs. Data Warehouse: What’s the Future-proof Solution for Your Business?,” explores the differences between a Data Lake and a Data Warehouse and how each can contribute to your overall cloud data management strategy.

Data warehouses and data lakes emerged in the pre-cloud era of enterprise data management. They were also both built to run on-premise, but the rise of public cloud storage has pushed data warehouse and data lake solutions into the cloud.

And while data lakes never seemed to reach their full potential on Apache Hadoop, today’s data lakes are based on cloud object storage and have plenty more to offer, including support for full-text search, relational (SQL), and machine learning queries.

Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Data Management 2021 report even revealed that data lake technologies are entering the Slope of Enlightenment this year, signaling broader adoption and a greater understanding of how data lake technologies can support enterprise data management success.
