How Enterprises Are Leveraging Data & Analytics to Deliver 2X More Value from Their Shared Services Centers

Our architecturally solid stool requires three legs: people, process, and technologies. This webinar looks at the most misunderstood of these three components: technology. While most organizations begin with technologies, it turns out that technologies are the last component that should be considered. This webinar will survey a range of Data Management technologies that can be used to increase the productivity of Data Management efforts.

As organizations move into the cloud, the choices for handling high-scale data for analytical use are flourishing and evolving. How do we address BI/analytics, data science, security/application monitoring, and log data management workloads? Do we really need potentially overlapping warehouse, data lake, and security and observability capabilities on top of object storage, or can an evolved data lake or emerging “lakehouse” platform do it all? Join Doug Henschen, VP and principal analyst at Constellation Research and Thomas Hazel, Chief Technology and Science Officer at ChaosSearch for a broad-ranging discussion on the challenges and strategy considerations that go into choosing the right platform.

It can be difficult to scale out relational databases and provide more schema flexibility, thus the rise of NoSQL. However, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice data integrity and transactions in order to scale out on commodity hardware and support semi-structured data. By using an RDBMS with built-in sharding and JSON support, you don’t have to. You get the scalability and flexibility of a NoSQL database along with the consistency and reliability of a relational database – and the ability to mix and match relational and JSON data. In this webinar, we’ll explain how MariaDB Platform can be deployed as a NoSQL database by using the Spider storage engine and built-in SQL functions for JSON. In addition, we’ll discuss how you can access relational data as JSON documents, and how to enforce data integrity if a relational data model is extended with JSON
