Cloud Migration Overview: Key Tips for Successfully Migrating Your Databases to the Cloud

Are you thinking about moving your databases to the cloud or making the transition to database as a service (DBaaS)? With cloud computing vendors offering more services at lower prices, the barriers to spinning up cloud resources are diminishing.

But there are few black-and-white questions in technology and even fewer in business, which is why smart companies look at all the shades of gray in an innovation like the cloud-based database before they commit on a large scale.

In this cloud overview session, we’ll examine the what, why, when, where and how of database cloud computing. We'll examine the current cloud landscape, provide answers to the most commonly asked questions and focus on a number of important but frequently overlooked points.

We’ll discuss:

  • Key trends driving enterprises to move their data to the cloud
  • When you should move to the cloud, what you should move to the cloud and how to make the transition
  • And much more
