The Winds of Change Altering Relational Database Strategy and DBA Operations

With a nod to the late 1980's Scorpions song, let's dive into the prevailing forces that are causing organizations to reevaluate their strategies with relational databases. To do that effectively, we welcome back to the program Ryan Arsenault, Principal Field Solution Architect (and heavily accented Bostonian), who has broad experience previously running SAP and Database operations at a large competitor. Ryan and I navigate through the landscape of trends that are requiring DBAs and IT leaders to change their approach to the software that manages their most important assets - the database. We touch on the impact of Cloud, Automation, AI and AI operations, Security, and the recent changes with VMware - plus how all-Flash changed the game for tier 1 database storage management. Always a fun conversation when Ryan stops by. For more information on Pure Storage solutions for Databases, check out: https://www.purestorage.com/solutions/applications.html
