Cloud databases power today’s data-driven applications07 Stories

Scalable cloud infrastructure enables business agility, setting the stage for digital transformation.

Cloud databases provide a flexible foundation for digital transformation, enabling organizations to meet the new requirements of modern applications. Without the scalability, manageability, and durability cloud databases offer, it would be impossible to use many of today’s breakthrough technologies, including artificial intelligence and big data analytics. According to Gartner, contemporary business initiatives require greater diversity of data and analytics capabilities, driving cloud migrations. Given this context, it is not surprising the pace of cloud adoption is picking up. According to McKinsey & Company, cloud adoption has been increasing rapidly, with cloud spending expected to grow at more than six times the rate of general IT spending through 2020.
