Topic:

Database Modernization: (re-)defining "modernization"

Today's buzzword bingo term is "Database Modernization." Searching online, the general consensus defines it as migrating your databases to the cloud. But I would argue that "modernization" should encompass far more than that.

Join me where we will explore multiple facets of modernizing your database estate. We'll discuss how the nature of data has evolved, from its collection to its usage. We'll also discuss data protection, as new threats continue to present themselves. And we'll explore pros and cons of different modernization solutions that are pushed by the industry. Open discussion times will also be included, where attendees will be encouraged to share their own thoughts and stories.

Our goal is for you to leave with a collection of fresh ideas and perspectives, that you can take back to your organization and utilize as you evaluate how to continue modernizing your database estate.
