As organizations continue to scale their data operations to support AI and other innovations, cloud data platform efficiency has become increasingly more important. Cloud efficiency involves optimizing performance and reducing costs through hardware enhancements, intelligent resource allocation, and automatic performance improvements. It involves automating infrastructure management, ensuring scalability, and integrating built-in security and governance to streamline operations and maximize resource utilization. In TDWI surveys, cloud cost is often cited as a challenge for cloud deployments; ensuring efficiency is one way to bring down those costs and provide value.

Join TDWI’s VP of research Fern Halper and Snowflake’s senior product marketing manager Cindy Na as they explore the benefits of fully managed cloud services and how to drive cloud efficiency.

Topics include:

  • The difference between legacy, customer-managed, and fully managed services and how to determine the right approach for your business
  • How managed platforms support innovation
  • The role of built-in security, governance, and automation in driving cloud efficiency
  • How integrated cloud ecosystems enable collaboration and sharing
