5 Business Drivers for migrating your data warehouse to Cloud in 2025

Shalini Nigam — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 14:18:00 +0000

The top five business factors that will make moving your data warehouse to the cloud a wise decision in 2023 will be discussed in this blog post.

1. Scalability and Flexibility:

Scalability is one of the main advantages of migrating your data warehouse to the cloud. With the use of a data warehouse, your company may simply scale up or down its IT needs as needed. For long-term success, businesses are experimenting with a variety of data modeling techniques. Cloud computing once again proves its mettle by being able to grow on demand and adapt to changing requirements because there is no one size fits all answer. Data warehouse modernization offers businesses an infrastructure that meets the purpose as and when necessary without integrating or optimizing difficulties thanks to autonomous scaling or de-scaling of servers, storage, and network bandwidth to manage massive volumes with unprecedented efficiency.

2. Cost-effectiveness:

Moving your data warehouse to the cloud has several compelling commercial reasons, including cost-effectiveness. On-site data warehouses demand hefty initial outlay for technology, software licenses, and ongoing maintenance expenses. In contrast, pay-as-you-go cloud-based data warehousing enables organizations to match expenditures with real consumption. Utilizing the cloud minimizes the risk of underutilized resources, lowers maintenance costs, and eliminates the need to purchase hardware. Further cost optimization is possible because of the variety of price choices provided by cloud providers, including reserved instances and spot instances. You can drastically lower the total cost of ownership while having access to cutting-edge analytics capabilities by moving to the cloud.

3. Design for the present and the future needs:

Using technology to pursue growth and innovation is a great facilitator and accelerator. This includes remaining on top of developments and streamlining all procedures to ensure their dependability. Take into account the benefits of zero-code ETL tools, self-service BI, and DW automation platforms as well as the rate of change in each of these areas. You can confidently satisfy new business requirements at speed and scale because of these cutting-edge platforms and solutions.

4. AI and Advanced Analytics:

In the era of data-driven decision-making, organizations are increasingly depending on AI and advanced analytics to gather insightful data and spur innovation. Platforms for cloud-based data warehousing offer a solid framework for putting sophisticated analytics solutions in place. You may harness the power of predictive and prescriptive analytics to find hidden trends, spot anomalies, and generate data-driven predictions by integrating seamlessly with other cloud services, such as machine learning and AI platforms. Businesses may experiment with various analytics methods and easily scale their infrastructure to meet the rising needs of AI workloads thanks to the flexibility and scalability of the cloud.

5. Data Security and Compliance:

Businesses have always been very concerned about data security and compliance, especially when dealing with sensitive consumer data and legal requirements. The security capabilities of traditional on-premises solutions are frequently surpassed by cloud providers, who make significant investments in installing strong security measures and adhering to industry best practices. You may take advantage of cutting-edge security features like encryption, data masking, identity, and access control, and continuous monitoring by moving your data warehouse to the cloud. To ensure compliance with local and industry rules, cloud providers also go through frequent audits and maintain certifications. You can improve data security and more successfully meet compliance standards by committing your data to a reliable cloud provider.

Conclusion:

In 2023, moving your data warehouse to the cloud will offer a variety of business benefits that will transform your company’s data capabilities. The cloud offers a complete solution to unlock the full potential of your data assets, from scalability and cost-effectiveness to improved performance, advanced analytics, and strong security. Businesses may maintain their agility, take quicker, data-driven choices, and gain new insights for innovation and expansion by using the cloud. To maximize the benefits and overcome any potential obstacles, make sure the migration is well-planned and executed with a smooth transition process.

Getting Started

While the benefits are numerous, and the technology matures, there can be many pitfalls on the path to migrating your data warehouse to a cloud environment. Understanding which platform and strategy can best help you achieve your business goals is a crucial first step. An experienced solutions provider should be able to help you conduct your cloud strategy and assessment to develop an implementation roadmap.

The Cloud Data Lake Journey – Roadblocks and Successes

When planning an enterprise cloud strategy, choosing the right cloud platform is just the beginning. In this Premiere Presentation, Bitwise will explore the roadblocks and successes for building a Business Analytics system in the cloud, with lessons taken from a cloud data lake initiative at a leading worldwide provider of payment technology services.

Case Study: Migration of Legacy ETL to Cloud

As part of its organizational strategy to move critical processes to Cloud, a Fortune 500 Banking company required a flexible, cost effective solution for migrating its Human Resources ETL process from an on-premise enterprise data management environment to Cloud.

In this session, Bitwise will discuss how we partnered with the customer’s team to quickly and efficiently migrate legacy ETLs to a tool that is compatible with leading Cloud platforms and that provides a rapid development environment while delivering robust capabilities and performance.

Bitwise Booth: Your One-Stop Shop for All Things EDW and Big Data

At our booth, Bitwise will be demonstrating how we provide a ‘one-stop shop for all things EDW and Big Data’ for our customers with innovations for common pain areas such as ETL testing and test data management, PL/SQL and ETL conversion, and ETL on Hadoop.

Introducing Hadoop Adaptor for Mainframe Data

A common challenge that we see across our customers is a need for an easy, cost effective option for converting mainframe data to a Hadoop-friendly data format. At TDWI Savannah, Bitwise plans to introduce our Hadoop Adaptor for Mainframe Data that converts any mainframe data to any Hadoop format, including ASCII, Avro and Parquet. The solution makes it easy to bring mainframe EBCDIC data into the data lake, making it available for advanced analytics and being able to combine with any other data in the data lake.

Stay tuned for more updates on our Mainframe Modernization solutions…
