Q3: What are some of the challenges with purely on-premises implementations? How can cloud help with these?
The Hoffington Post
Operations, support, monitoring, etc. All the things a (good) service provider will take care of for you.
Amit Patel
Cloud removes the dependence business has on IT for analytics. It's analytics for the masses or democratization of analytics.
Wendy Lucas
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.
Henrik Loeser
for some of my customers it takes months (years) to provision machines, network, storage, software...
Nancy Hensley
on prem doesn't fuel self-service, and that can slow the business down when it needs really fast turn around
Jeff Feinsmith
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.
Nancy Hensley
DW appliances went a long way to improve it, but they still didn't quite help the self service part
Marco Bonezzi
flexibility, scalability, ability to provision the right infrastructure in a short time
Nancy Hensley
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.
Adam Ronthal
@jameskobielus That's the "business of data warehousing" Jim!
Nancy Hensley
bigdata means more storage, more storage means more cost, most staff, less ability to move FAST
Marco Bonezzi
dashDB - data insights in less than 1 day / on-premises - weeks? months?
jameskobielus
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?
Katrina Read
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.
Jeff Feinsmith
@samlightstone Exactly, the hardware negotiation and funding is typically the longest part of the exercise from my experience.
