Are you considering migrating your applications to the cloud to simplify your data management? While the public cloud is substantial for minimizing how much time you spend day-to-day managing your data, its costs can quickly spiral out of control if you aren’t careful. There are a few ways to ensure your next bill doesn’t leave you with sticker shock.
Data. From website analytics to Internet-enabled refrigerators that alert us when we’re out of milk, the number of data points consumers create every moment of every day is simply astounding. And smart businesses are always looking for ways to leverage that data to boost sales, deliver better experiences, and control costs.
Determining the number of cloud resources that your organization needs is a balancing act. On the one hand, if you don’t budget for enough, you’ll find yourself going over budget in order to get the amount that you need. On the other hand, if you overprovision and invest in more resources, you’ll end up wasting money.
If you’ve been on the cloud for a while, it’s time to look at your cloud strategy and determine if it is allowing you to get the best experience and continuing to meet your needs. Are you getting the fastest speeds possible – or even the speeds that your workloads demand? Are you getting the best bang for your buck? In this post, we’ll look at some areas in your cloud strategy that can be optimized to continue driving the best experience possible on the cloud.
The economic uncertainties over the past few years have driven many businesses to streamline internal processes, reduce costs, and seek to maximize the performance of their tools. This has led many Oracle users to adopt the cloud.

More and more organizations are looking to move their most important data to the cloud and off of on premise data centers. But the process of doing so won’t always run smoothly. There will be multiple challenges along the way that your team will need to overcome. But the prize of successfully migrating to the cloud will be well worth it.
If you’re using the cloud to store music, photos, or the beginning chicken scratches of the next great American novel, the speed at which you are able to access, download, or upload these files might be good enough. But the cloud isn’t just used to store all the photos from your niece’s first birthday party. For a lot of companies, the cloud is used for important, mission-critical workloads that are complex and require a much faster speed than what is typically provided. In this blog, we’ll look at what high performance cloud computing is, why it is needed, and some of the use cases for it in key industries.
