Is the on-premises Data Warehouse dead?
My guest today is Tim Mitchell, the owner or Tyleris Data Solutions and a Microsoft MVP. I pose Tim a very simple question–Is the on-premises data warehouse dead? The last several years have brought a myriad of new technologies for how to store and report on your data. Microsoft’s first cloud offering was all about services in the cloud and they were pitching a ‘everything in the cloud’ approach. When these technologies were marketed, some data professionals thought they would not longer have their familiar technologies. Time has proven that this hasn’t quite worked out the way some thought.
Tim and I discuss how organization are starting the juggle the various technologies and how traditional data warehouse folks will continue to provide value to organizations. We also discuss why organizations consider cloud solutions and scenarios where going to the cloud makes sense.
