BEING LAST TO GET IT :)

network speed, security

Most clients think security is the biggest barrier

As a Solution provider, it is a question of convincing the client about security issues..

Most people are concerned with Security but there are plenty of apps that can easily move- how about test/dev?

@data_henrik but I learned who is hosting it and that Softlayer customers can get dedicated networks

Security a top concern for cloud-based analytics. dashDB designed with security in mind from the ground up.

WIth all the investment going to the cloud, Security concerns will be solved quickly, we are already thinking years ahead with #dashDB

data location

Data movement to the cloud a concern for cloud-based analytics. dashDB + Data Works makes it easy.

IBM has thought of common concerns clients have with cloud-based analytics like security, data privacy, hybrid architectures, data integration.

∑ By year-end 2016, more than 50% of Global 1000 will have stored customer sensitive data in the public cloud (Gartner as quoted on Wired) - 50% are not worried!

@data_henrik Network quality is really important for any database/DW in the cloud. Speed is important, but stability even more so.

#dashDB brings enterprise class data warehousing to the cloud.

@nancykoppdw with containers and perimeter-less security getting stronger this concern will be mitigated

lots of concerns with moving/loading data as well

Hmm @GetdashDB not worried abt #security does not mean its not an issue though. How do we address?

we hear "security" a lot. That is why dashDB has security baked in. There is the usual perimeter security that you would expect. There is also encryption all the way. Most important, dashDB can tell you if you have sensitive data and what to do about it

@Natasha_D_G Security starts from the ground up, proceeds to the software design, and concludes with operational best practices. We've got you covered.

@marcobonezzi by data locatin you mean complaince with safe harbor laws?

One of the concerns that people often have about move to cloud is load simplicity. That's why dashDB has focused on it so heavily. Seamless integration with IBM DataWorks extends dashDB to huge potential. Rich data format support.

@katsnelson exactly...sometimes that is required I guess

@_hoffman dashDB runs in Softlayer. One of the key differentiators for Softlayer cloud is robustness of its network. Head and shoulders above other CSPs

Customers are concerned that they will lose control over their data if they put it in the cloud. That security and compliance may suffer.

Security! Yup (as others have said, and I agree). dashDB has always-on encryption for data on disk, and across wire transfers.

@katsnelson Agreed. Both within and between data centers. Gotta think globally about these things.

Some concerns around Cloud DW-ing include bulk loading, synchronizing, and securing data.

Where the data is physically stored is still a concern to many companies - leveraging the global SoftLayer pods to support DashDB will be essential.

How is high availability handled? If one or more DashDB nodes managed in the Cloud goes down, what happens to my data and application availability?

Security concerns around data can be mitigated with hybrid cloud solutions.

@JeffFeinsmith If you use Cloudant as your canonical data store, the data is replicated multiple times on different servers _before_ it even gets to dashDB.

Comes back to risk around the data. Compare that with value to see the whole picture.

Operations, support, monitoring, etc. All the things a (good) service provider will take care of for you.

Cloud removes the dependence business has on IT for analytics. It's analytics for the masses or democratization of analytics.

On-prem requires business users to wait for IT infrastructure. Cloud gets those users to results faster.

On-prem challenges: expensive to expand datawarehouse infrastructure. dashDB can help.

As of now we are looking at Websphere Cast Iron for both onpremise & cloud integrations. CSV 2 JSON document structure in seconds..

If you can hire a world-class ops team to watch your deploy all the time, great. If not, let us do it ;)

On-prem challenges: long lead times to deploy new projects. dashDB can help.

scalability, there is not alot of elasticity in the computer room

On-prem challenges: analytics and application portability. dashDB can help.

for some of my customers it takes months (years) to provision machines, network, storage, software...

on prem doesn't fuel self-service, and that can slow the business down when it needs really fast turn around

It isn't simply waiting on IT infrustructure. It is waiting on the slowest part of the business, budgetary approval for capital assets and spend release.

DW appliances went a long way to improve it, but they still didn't quite help the self service part

flexibility, scalability, ability to provision the right infrastructure in a short time

the goal has always been to get data in the hands of those who need it, cloud gets us there faster

The concern with on-premises is often bottom line: they need to build a data center, hire an IT staff, buy/integrate hardware and software, and establish rigorous procedures.

@jameskobielus That's the "business of data warehousing" Jim!

bigdata means more storage, more storage means more cost, most staff, less ability to move FAST

dashDB - data insights in less than 1 day / on-premises - weeks? months?

Cloud can help with on-prem challenges by eliminating the need to invest in in-house infrastructure and staff. Pay for capability through OPEX not CAPEX.

@data_henrik - Henrik -- how does dashDB help your clients? Will they implement it as part of a hybrid approach for certain types of analytics?

Pull down to see that Q4 has been posted.

Infrastructure budgets are in decline and any CapEx spend is scrutinized - DashDB brings speed and flexibility of deployment.

On prem you need to negotiate and fund the hardware. Then manage and tune the software. No fun. Too slow. The world demands agile.

@samlightstone Exactly, the hardware negotiation and funding is typically the longest part of the exercise from my experience.
