Managed Databases: Taking Database Setup from Weeks to Minutes

The public cloud is on a roll. Gartner estimates this booming market to grow 17% in 2020 to reach $266.4 billion. But the fastest-growing cloud service is in the realm of databases, with some estimates putting the cloud database and DBaaS market at $320 billion by 2025.  One reason why managed databases (also known as DBaaS – Database as a Service) are surging ahead of other services is the explosion of data we’re experiencing. IDC has predicted that by 2025, the global datasphere will grow to 175 zettabytes. That’s 175,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes! This is spurred on not only by all ..read more

Cloud-Native Applications Introduce New Operational Challenges In the cloud era, with the rise of microservices, applications no longer require a single database. Often each microservice requires its own database, which will need to be setup and managed across multiple environments to meet high velocity delivery requirements. The massive proliferation of open-source databases has introduced innovative and cost-effective database alternatives. However, the increased operational complexity of managing many different databases, each with its own requirements and characteristics, together with th ..read more

How Cloud Repatriation Brings Enterprises Closer to Cloud Nirvana
Stratoscale Blog
by Virginia Alexander
4y ago
While Googling “Nirvana” brings up complex definitions and descriptions from Buddhism and Hinduism, it is commonly understood as a “care-free state of joy and enlightenment.” This is what many enterprises thought they would achieve when charging full speed into the cloud. But it seems, they were sadly mistaken. While the agility and rapid time-to-value initially brought smiles to CIO faces, many CIOs were rudely awakened when costs started to skyrocket, application performance started to falter, and security threats started to loom. In a recent post about cloud repatriation, we cited two conse ..read more

The Whys of Public Cloud Repatriation
Stratoscale Blog
by Ariel Maislos
4y ago
It’s no coincidence that public cloud repatriation and hybrid clouds started making headlines around the same time. Both of these industry trends started when companies realized that the public cloud is not a best fit for all workloads. While the public cloud did deliver on its promise of agility and scalability, companies encountered several issues in other areas that affected their business (I’ll be getting to those in a moment). But there’s no need to feel sorry for public cloud providers. Usage is still growing rapidly, with IDC estimating public cloud spending to more than double and reac ..read more

Stratoscale DBaaS + Pure Storage = IT Peace of Mind

4y ago
Last month Stratoscale took part in Pure Accelerate 2019. The crowds at our booth mirrored the industry’s huge interest in taking the cloud experience on-premises. The questions people were asking, and the discussions we had made it clear that simplicity, ease-of-use and efficiency of the public cloud is no longer enough. Enterprises want those great benefits, but they also need better data security, compliance with a variety of different international regulations, along with high availability, and IT needs to deliver all of that at a lower cost than the public cloud. That’s why Stratoscale’s ..read more

Stratoscale Blog
by Katherine Anderson
4y ago
One of the key elements in the development of robust Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is the ability to gauge its successes and failures. After all, if you don’t know what’s working and what’s not, and why, then it becomes impossible to capitalize on strong points and shore up its weaknesses. In this post, I will explore how enterprises are employing Database-as-a-Service metrics today to measure success. The first step in assessing the efficacy of your new service is to have a thorough understanding of what you want to do with it. You don’t judge an airplane a failure because it can’t fly und ..read more

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has revolutionized the way enterprises develop, run, and scale applications.

Overcoming Amazon’s Competitive Advantage
Stratoscale Blog
by Ramel Levin
4y ago
There’s a well-known trope in the tech industry that goes like this: Platinum-level sponsors at this year’s AWS re:Invent conference will be replaced by a native AWS service at next year’s conference. While that may not always be true, there is a certain sense that Amazon, and AWS by extension, is a company continually looking to expand its market presence into new areas. Amazon touts itself as selling everything from A to Z, and recently that has come to include services such as groceries, prescription drugs, and live streaming of games. Amazon’s competitive advantage is hosting other compani ..read more

Security, Regulations and Data Sovereignty: Is AWS Compliance Good Enough?
Stratoscale Blog
by Yifat Danieli
4y ago
We live in a time of increasing concerns over the privacy and security of our data. A variety of regulations create a direct responsibility for companies to be good stewards of their customers’ information,  and different industries are beholden to specific regulations governing the handling of data, enforcement of security, and adherence to proper processes and procedures. However, between the various industries and countries, there are dozens of regulations with which AWS customers may potentially have to comply. While AWS compliance goes a long way for its customers, there are many cases in ..read more
