Over the last few years, deploying workloads and database services to cloud infrastructures, both public and private, has become a primary IT motion. But, cloud infrastructure has become specialized in a variety of ways with advantages, disadvantages and complexities, some of which are less than obvious.

Join IDERA and Rob Reinauer as he explores a range of issues important to effectively evaluating, choosing and managing modern cloud deployments. Rob will cover what it means when we talk about cloud architectures and the cost factors to consider when comparing Private Clouds vs Public Clouds and IaaS vs Slaas vs DBaas. He will also walk through common issues in managing complex cloud deployments. Topics include how to achieve secure and reliable communications between cloud deployed workloads, implications of networked storage vs local storage, and if high availability strategies change with different cloud architectures.
