Cloud Computing

Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud approaches as well as services such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) are being embraced for cost efficiency, scalability, and consolidation. Hypervisor technologies, Open Source versus Proprietary Hypervisor technologies, Security, Open Standards, Interoperability, High Availability, and Backup & Recovery are among the issues that are critical to consider when evaluating a move to the cloud.

If you're reading this, you're likely an expert in something database related. You know everything there is to know about SQL, Microsoft Azure, data analytics, maybe more. Perhaps you're an IT specialist who knows your company's digital infrastructure from end to end. If you've spent some years in your role, you've realized that, in addition to your technical know-how, you've probably had to develop another set of skills—interpersonal ones.

For several years now, cloud computing has been heralded as the ultimate solution for IT infrastructure, promising scalability, flexibility, and cost savings. Organizations of all sizes rushed to the cloud, enticed by its pay-as-you-go pricing and freedom from on-prem hardware constraints. However, an interesting shift is occurring: Some organizations are repatriating workloads from the cloud back to on-prem or hybrid environments. This phenomenon, known as cloud repatriation, is challenging the assumption that "cloud-first" is always the best strategy.

In the rush to embrace artificial intelligence (AI), enterprises across industries have encountered a harsh reality: transformation takes more than technology.

We're still only at the beginning stages of AI, and data appears to be one of the biggest issues slowing down progress. That's one of the revelations of a new survey from Accenture of 2,000 executives. "Though every business may want an AI-powered edge, many companies are still struggling to advance beyond their initial AI experiments," survey co-authors Senthil Ramani, Lan Guan, and Philippe Roussiere find. "A big reason for this is low data readiness—which arises when all types of data, especially unstructured data, are not used to the max."

It's been said that AI is only as good as the data fueling it. And that's true—to an extent. Having good data is important, but it is also useless if it's inaccessible. This explains why building the Data Operating Fabric—an intelligent platform that oversees and controls real-time data ecosystems to help businesses run more smoothly and drive better ROI—has become a priority for organizations as AI adoption continues to accelerate and new solutions, such as AI agents, come online.

Inside any database management system (DBMS), one can designate a specific data item as "null." The null represents the "existence" of a non-value, the nonexistence of a value, or…nothing. This sounds a bit like an oxymoron, a nonvalue value, but there it is. Each DBMS has its own implementation of null support, so what it does to be able to share with you that "there is no value" can differ. For example, rather than a value, there may be a group of bit flags associated with an individual data element, with one of those bits being an "I am null" flag. And because every DBMS has its own way of doing this, it is best not to think that by using a null, one is greatly saving on space usage. Space may be saved, or maybe not so much.

As our lifespans stretch well beyond the traditional retirement horizon, the future of work is undergoing a profound transformation. With some individuals living well into their 110s—and babies born today potentially reaching 150—we're not just facing longer lives, but longer careers. Many of us may be working into our 80s or 90s. The implication is clear: technology must evolve to support not just the young and able but also the aging who will increasingly make up a significant portion of the global workforce.
