Cloud Computing & Integration
In order to support the maximum number of user and elastic service with the minimum resource, the Internet service provider invented the cloud computing. Within a few years, emerging cloud computing has become the hottest technology.
Types:
- Private Cloud (on premise / local ): This format, also known as an “internal cloud,” is hosted within an organization's own data center. It provides a more standardized process and protection, but is often limited in size and scalability.
- Enterprise Cloud: is the provision of cloud computing services to businesses. This is in contrast to consumer-oriented cloud computing services. In enterprise cloud computing, individual companies and businesses rely on contracts with cloud providers or vendors to outsource different types of IT services.
- Public Cloud: is one based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), applications or storage, available to the general public over the internet. Public cloud services may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model.
- Hybrid Cloud: is a cloud computing environment that uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and third-party, public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms.
- Cloud Data Warehouse: For companies that start are born in the cloud, it is expected to have numerous cloud applications that need connectivity to each other to get a hlistic view of the data across these systems. Cloud can bring all this data from the sources and transform the data into relevant, contextual and reliable data, store it in cloud data warehouses (e.g. Azure SQL DW and Amazon Redshift) and enable self-service dashboards with actionable insights for e.g. Tableau and Salesforce Wave and Cognos.
- Hybrid Data Warehousing ( Data warehouse As A Service ): Load multiple data sources from cloud and/or on premise to Data Warehouse as a Service on public cloud platform. In this use case, a customer would typically have legacy DW which runs on-premise and also have migrated subsets of data to cloud-based DW like Redshift or MSSQL DW. There could be various reasons for the migration including the need to scale flexibly, reduce cost, increase time-to-market and most importantly agility and speed of doing business. In this type of use case the customer might integrate various other cloud data sources like ERP, CRM as well cloud-based data sources like Salesforce, Workday and NetSuite etc. The consolidated data in the cloud DW which in turn feeds into the BI tools which can be the modern self-service BI tools like Tableau, Salesforce Wave etc. or the traditional BI tools like Cognos etc. Cloud Connectors solutions fit in seamlessly to provide the integration services and right data for users.
