Admit your mistakes if you want to succeed in the cloud
Itrsquo;s 8:00 a.m. and I get a call from a client.
It sounds like the workloads that the CIO had IT move to public cloud are not performing well.
The data, by the way, was left on-premises, so all database calls are being made across the open internet.Can you guess whatrsquo;s wrong here?[ Learn all about the cloud at InfoWorld.
Start with the basics: What is cloud computing? Everything you need to know now.
Then learn what is IaaS (infrastructure as a service) and what is PaaS (platform as a service). ]In this case, the client admitted that the separation of the application and the database by 3,000 miles was a key mistake, and it was willing to redo the implementation. Obviously, that meant more costs, risk, and time. However, the client got a workable workload in the end.
And a valuable lesson learned.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

IDG Contributor Network: Ye olde ETL shoppe
I recently worked on a content project for Alooma, an ETL and data pipeline service on the cloud.
ETL is “extract, transform, load,” a time-tested process for loading mission-critical events into a central data store, while making sure that the data is correct.A new take on ETL Alooma and its competitors like XPlenty and Stitch Data have a new take on ETL.
They promise to move huge volumes of data into data warehouses or other data stores effortlessly, with all the integration and data plumbing taken care of as a managed service.If you ask them, you do not need an ETL tool or an ETL process, per se, anymore, because the managed data pipeline comes with its own industrial-strength ETL capabilities which are much easier to use than the ETL tools of old.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
