Migrating Analytics to the Cloud: It’s About Time
Many organizations are still struggling to get general application workloads off from on-premise and onto the cloud. The migration to a cloud native workload can be quite a challenge, and it’s not always obvious what needs to be done to take advantage of cloud capabilities such as scalability, agility, and reliability without comprising security and compliance.
In this seminar session, Jeff Tang, Customer Solutions Lead at SAS, will share industry trends, discuss how to tackle challenges, and highlight the benefits associated with migrating to the cloud.
This session is being delivered with the support of SAS.
