Database Challenges

Database administrators face many challenges in managing increasingly large volumes of data efficiently, securely, and in real-time to meet business needs. An autonomous database uses machine learning to automate tasks like tuning, security, backups and updates without human intervention. It is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing to improve database management and reduce costs and downtime. As data volumes continue growing rapidly, autonomous databases are poised to revolutionize data management by enabling performance advantages and lower costs through intelligent automation.

Database

challenges
Absorbing significant increases in data volume
The explosion of data coming in from sensors, connected machines, and dozens of
other sources keeps database administrators scrambling to manage and organize their
companies’ data efficiently
 Ensuring data security
Data breaches are happening everywhere these days, and hackers are getting
more inventive. It’s more important than ever to ensure that data is secure but also easily
accessible to users.
 Keeping up with demand
 In today’s fast-moving business environment, companies need real-time access to
their data to support timely decision-making and to take advantage of new opportunities.
 Managing and maintaining the database and infrastructure
Database administrators must continually watch the database for problems and
perform preventative maintenance, as well as apply software upgrades and patches. As
databases become more complex and data volumes grow, companies are faced with the
expense of hiring additional talent to monitor and tune their databases.

 Removing limits on scalability


A business needs to grow if it’s going to survive, and its data management must
grow along with it. But it’s very difficult for database administrators to predict how much
capacity the company will need, particularly with on-premises databases.

 Ensuring data residency, data sovereignty, or latency requirements


Some organizations have use cases that are better suited to run on-premises. In those
cases, engineered systems that are pre-configured and pre-optimized for running the
database are ideal.
Autonomous Database
 An autonomous database is a cloud database that uses machine learning to automate
database tuning, security, backups, updates, and other routine management tasks
traditionally performed by DBAs. Unlike a conventional database, an autonomous
database performs all these tasks and more without human intervention.

How autonomous technology is improving


database management
 It is self-driving
All database and infrastructure management, monitoring, and tuning processes are
automated. DBAs can now focus on more important tasks, including data aggregation,
modeling, processing, governance strategies, and helping developers use in-database
features and functions with minimal changes to their application code.
 It is self-securing
Built-in capabilities protect against both external attacks and malicious internal
users. This helps eliminate concerns about cyberattacks on unpatched or
unencrypted databases.

 It is self-repairing
This can prevent downtime, including unplanned maintenance. An
autonomous database can require fewer than 2.5 minutes of downtime per
month, including patching.
 Self-driving databases are the wave of the future—and offer an intriguing
possibility for organizations that want to use the best available database
technology without the headaches of running and operating that technology.

 Self-driving databases use cloud-based technology and machine learning to


automate many of the routine tasks required to manage databases, such as
tuning, security, backups, updates, and other routine management tasks.
With these tedious tasks automated, database administrators are freed up to
do more strategic work.

 The self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing capabilities of self-driving


databases are poised to revolutionize how companies manage and secure
their data, enabling performance advantages, lower costs, and improved
security.
Future of databases and autonomous
 Data is being generated databases
today at a rate that is fast outpacing how quickly it
can be manually managed and processed to efficiently and securely deliver
business-critical insights. Because of their intelligent automation
capabilities, autonomous databases offer enterprises many advantages over
traditional databases. The expectation is that enterprises will increasingly
migrate to this database model to enjoy these advantages, maintain a
competitive edge, and gain the ability to refocus IT efforts on innovation
rather than database management.

 The first autonomous database was announced in late 2017, and multiple
independent industry analysts quickly recognized the technology and its
potential impact on computing.
