DevOps and databases share many common characteristics. They shouldn’t be positioned as being at odds with each other.
You may have heard the term “DevOps” a lot lately, but is this just one of those buzzwords that gets thrown around and means something different depending on who’s talking? While traditional software methodologies pit developers and operations folks against each other, DevOps requires that they work together for a common goal. And, ultimately, shouldn’t the software project’s success be everyone’s goal? Come and learn how DevOps is changing the DBAs world for the better.

The care and feeding (aka management) of databases takes on new meaning in the Internet of Things era.

Popular wisdom is that cache is king and you can easily scale by fronting your database with caching services like Redis. Moreover, you can scale out your relational database with read replicas. Finally, if that doesn't do it, you can choose a NoSQL database. However, what do you do when you have a lot of writes and a lot of reads, data integrity is critical, and downtime is a nonstarter? A new technology called distributed SQL borrows the best from both relational and NoSQL databases giving you both read and write scale while also ensuring the data is correct. As critical systems, financial systems, and the entire back office moves to the cloud, distributed SQL is key to ensuring data is consistent, available and scalable.

Licensing has always been tricky but the rise of trolling has created many new things to guard against.
Any organization that has gone through a vendor software licensing audit knows firsthand how expensive and draining a process can be for an organization. No one disputes that companies like Oracle, Microsoft, or IBM have a right to be fairly compensated for the use of their software. The same safeguards these organizations put in place to protect their intellectual property can easily be distorted by a software troll against an unsuspecting company to extort millions of dollars. Learn about software license trolls and simple steps to take to ensure your organization is not their next victim.

The notion of data exhaust, all that peripheral data floating around in your organization, can have value to your business operations. It could help with predictive analytics, for example, or customer analysis. But as big data gets even bigger, are we exhausted by all the data at our fingertips? At what point does technology step in to help and which technologies are best suited to deal with data exhaustion? That’s what this panel considers.
