4 tips for maximizing your data

Every application needs modern databases to handle and process data. Learn four tips to help you start monetizing and gaining intelligence from your data.

1 Adopt a more flexible approach

Data is growing rapidly, in volume as well as velocity, variety, complexity, and connectedness. You can adopt a more flexible approach for your data by moving the database to a hybrid cloud container platform. This approach allows:

• Alignment of database strategy to application strategy

• Flexibility, scalability, and portability to deploy and move between any cloud or on-premise.

• One standard experience for developers, without worrying about where the database resides.

• Ability to use the container platform to systematically break down and break apart applications into microservices as you see fit.

An open, adaptable database architecture can help you build use-case driven, highly scalable distributed applications. The architecture contains several key technologies, including:

• Container and Kubernetes platforms for deploying databases, data analytics tools, and cloud-native applications across infrastructure, as well as self-service capabilities for developers and integrated compute acceleration.

• Consistent and software-defined underlying infrastructures to provide resources across hybrid cloud environments.

• Databases, data lakes, and data warehouses to store data to use in cloud-native applications.

• Data ingestion and preparation tools to ingest, process, and analyze data from a variety of sources to deliver insights.
