As organizations continue to scale their data operations to support AI and other innovations, cloud data platform efficiency has become increasingly important. Cloud efficiency involves automating infrastructure management, ensuring scalability, and integrating built-in security and governance to streamline operations and maximize resource utilization. It also involves automatically helping customers to optimize performance and reduce costs through hardware enhancements, intelligent resource allocation, and ongoing performance improvements. 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 David Loshin and Snowflake’s senior manager of product marketing, 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 fully 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
