Not long ago, MySQL CTO blog issued a document that : "We are migrating to the cloud!" So, database migration to the cloud platform will be a trend yet?
According to a new report from Gartner show , more and more companies turning to the cloud to host their database, cloud infrastructure and services is fast becoming the default choice for data management. Gartner claims that, by 2022, the vast majority of the database will be deployed or migrated to the cloud platform, only 25% would choose local deployment, 5% will be considering a return to the platform from the cloud to the local.
Gartner attributed this trend to the scene database is increasingly used to analyze the growth and the increasing attractiveness of the SaaS model, cloud infrastructure and services is fast becoming the default choice for data management .
Donald Feinberg, vice president of Gartner, said, "We're cloud development and deployment of new applications, and to move faster and faster rate of existing assets, we believe that this situation will continue to increase, we believe that this is the data management solution program (DMSA) with a system according to the start, such as data warehousing, data Lake and other use cases for analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning operating system is also increasingly turning to the cloud, especially with the model to SaaS applications conversion. "
Gartner added that in 2018, the database management system market grew 18.4% to $ 46 billion, Azure and AWS account for more than three-quarters of the growth.
But to move the database to the cloud there are many factors that need to be considered, in particular, program and cost-effectiveness.
MySQL official said the move to the cloud can be considered DBaaS (Database as a Service), they think DBaaS both benefits, there are limitations in the database (or O & M) team very limited circumstances, DBaaS is a good choice. However, flexibility is a great trade-off in the current infrastructure complex cases, DBaaS is undoubtedly the wrong choice, because what can be done is very limited.
Reports that provide speed, reliability and scalability of cloud-based data management system, and enhanced analysis capabilities integrated with third-party services. But if companies are not careful, SaaS model will soon lead to a sharp rise in monthly costs.
Some experts warn that the use of cloud services innovation should look before you leap, especially in the case of data leakage often happens. For example, for health care and banking industries, the need for data security may make the database in the cloud can not be hosted.
