Who should attend: Application Development & Program Management professionals

Description:

Enterprises must support hundreds or even thousands of applications to meet growing business demands, but this growth is dramatically driving up the cost of running and managing the databases under those applications. The stress this puts on the IT budget makes it harder to provide databases to support new requirements such as Web 2.0 applications or other emerging collaboration solutions or even to support more mundane uses such as increased application testing. A new emerging option called database-as-a-service hosts databases in the cloud and is a good fit for some new apps. This teleconference focuses on how database-as-a-service can help minimize some challenges, lower data management cost, and improve collaboration. It also mentions who the leading vendors are in offering database-as-a-service solution and what to expect in the coming years.

Agenda:

• Existing database deployment challenges
• Definition and architecture of database-as-a-dervice
• Benefits and use cases of database-as-a-service
• Database-as-a-service providers
• Future of database-as-a-service

Vendors mentioned: Amazon, Elastra, EnterpriseDB, Google, IBM, LongJump, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce.com, Sun Microsystems — MySQL AB, and Sybase
