Avoid 3 Critical Data Errors While Moving to the Cloud
Many companies moving to the cloud forget about updating their data and data transfer technologies. Here’s what to remember to avoid these mistakes.
We often think of the number of enterprises moving the cloud
that did not consider data modernization as part of their cloud migration
strategy. We know why: money. However, not modernizing your data as
part of your move to the cloud will cost you more than you think you are
saving.

Data needs to be a top-notch citizen when it comes
to your cloud efforts. While the number of things to think about cloud
migration is on the increase, don’t let the data hit your radar. The ROI
on your improvements is more than 15X higher.
Look at the
performance of specialized databases
Whether you are talking about a blockchain database, an in-memory
database, a distributed database, or a data lake, there are special
databases created for a specific purpose that may be better suited for your
applications.
At least ask a question before migration. Since many
enterprises use the same legacy relational databases that require ever-higher
licensing fees, moving to a dedicated database will not only result in more
functionality and optimizations, but will likely be much cheaper in the cloud.
Consider
revising both models and structures
Most databases are poorly designed and many organizations
simply pick these bad designs and move them to the cloud. Moreover, they
do not consider other database models such as object and graph
databases. Moving to the cloud is a great time to look at other database
models.
What is pretty much a must is that you fix any flaws in the
existing structures. This means rethinking your databases to be more
business-like. Most databases don’t do this today because the business has
changed over the years, but the databases haven’t.
Find and
remove redundancy
How many versions of customer data do you have in your databases? How about inventory data? Do you have more than one or more than 20? Unfortunately, this is quite normal, so the move to the cloud is a time to eliminate database redundancy and find a single source of truth for the data.
