The advantages of cloud data management
Hosting data in the cloud allows users to access it from any device. This is a great advantage in times of increasing flexibility and hybrid work environments. That is why more and more companies are adopting Cloud Data Management , a decision they make aware of the associated benefits. Some of them are:

Performance: Compared to a locally deployed data management system, much higher performance is achieved.

Budget: Cloud data management minimizes costs and allows you to pay for what you need at any given time, making it an option worth considering, especially for SMEs and companies with limited financial resources, seeking to avoid the investment that traditional on-premise alternatives entail in relation to software, hardware and data center.

Staffing: Since the cloud service provider provides the platform, they are also responsible for all issues that may arise, from installation to any aspect of system management. This frees up database administrators from the burden of configuring and patching the on-premises database system.

In addition, it must also be taken into account that the implementation of a cloud data management system can be carried out according to three different models , so each organization can choose the one that is most convenient for it from the following:

Virtual Machine: The cloud provider provides the virtual machine instances on which the data management system runs, and is also responsible for managing the infrastructure.

Managed hosting: The cloud provider installs, maintains, and manages the database deployment. This is a highly recommended model for small and medium-sized businesses that do not have the budget to maintain the IT department that would be required to manage the data in-house.

"As a service" - This option allows companies to avoid installing and maintaining the database. The cloud management system provider installs and maintains the database. The client company only has to pay for storage and computing resources. This option is quite popular because the cloud provider frees companies from the responsibility of traditional database administration functions.
