Enabling Database Excellence: Moving the Database to Managed Services

Enterprise IT is undergoing massive transformation. This is being led by technologies that enable the virtualisation, dynamic deployment, and elastic scalability of resources. These technologies offer more control and cost-effective management of IT systems than has ever been seen before.

This is particularly important in the database sphere. Without cloud managed database services, databases are managed manually. This is done through fixed computer and storage resources acquired for fixed periods and maintained by the datacenter staff.
