Abstract  

The adoption of cloud implementations for data management, storage and analytics have grown in two years from a minority to a considerable majority today. Today we see about 80% of new initiatives selecting cloud rather than traditional on-premise data warehouses or Hadoop. This presentation will discuss the reasons that cloud is becoming the default approach, considerations that must be taken, challenges, issues to avoid and benefits. We will also review one recent implementation and one planned migration from on-premise to cloud.
