Description:

Databases and warehouses have become integral parts of information platforms that are critical to support any business. To aid real-time analytics, unstructured data, complex data mining, and extreme data access performance, databases and warehouses are evolving into a virtualized, cloud-based, and scalable distributed platform. Database virtualization allows using multiple DBMSes and platforms simultaneously and transparently, regardless of their physical location. It supports an extremely scalable, flexible, available, and affordable platform through a policy-driven management framework and end-to-end integrated and distributed-caching technology that is automated. Data will be transparently persisted in diverse physical and logical formats to an abstract, seamless grid of interconnected memory and disk resources and delivered with sub-second delay to consuming applications. This session examines various technologies and architectures that can help implement a database/data warehouse virtualization strategy. It also includes best practices, solutions, and case studies. Learn about:

• Current data management trends and challenges.
• How database virtualization can help lower costs, enable real-time analytics, support complex data types, and deliver improved performance and higher availability.
• Implementing database virtualization architectures and technologies and products that can help deliver the vision.
• Best practices and case studies on database virtualization.
