Why Should You Migrate Database to Snowflake

 

In today’s data-driven business environment, Organizations must have access to powerful and technologically advanced database platforms that adequately meet their database management requirements. The platform should be automated, based in the cloud, and run with the minimum of human intervention, thereby making for a highly efficient system.



Snowflake adequately meets all these specifications, one reason why businesses are today opting for Snowflake data migration.

But first, what is Snowflake and what are the benefits of Snowflake data migration.

Snowflake

Snowflake is a recently-introduced cloud-based data warehousing solution offering a wide range of benefits to users.

These are some of them.

·        Snowflake is compatible with a wide range of cloud vendors. Users can therefore work on one or more of them with the same set of tools and without the need for skillset up-gradation.

·        Unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data can be loaded natively directly into Snowflake. This feature is not available in top databases like SQL Server or Oracle, making Snowflake data migration a preferred option.

·        Snowflake has high computing capabilities. There is no performance degradation or lag even when multiple users simultaneously execute multiple intricate queries.

·        The storage and computing facilities in Snowflake are located in different silos. Users can work in either of them, scale up and down as per need and pay only for the quantum of resources used.

·        As Snowflake is based in the cloud, businesses have access to unlimited computing and storage facilities. This is critical when there is a sudden hike in demand for resources. Organizations can quickly have access to additional resources without investing in hardware and software to meet the demand.

These are some of the cutting-edge features of the Snowflake data warehousing solution.

AWS Support to Migration of Databases to S3

Image
  In July 2019, Amazon Web Service Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) announced the launch of a service that would support the migration of data from any source in AWS Apache Parquet data format to S3. The data migrating feature AWS DMS CDC S3   is available in the 3.1.3 version of DMS. S3 is generally used to support DMS while creating data lakes. This data can be used with a wide range of AWS such as Amazon Redshift Spectrum, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Athena. It has been a long-standing demand by users which has now been accepted by AWS with the launch of AWS DMS CDC to S3 . Why do businesses migrate data from AWS DMS CDC to S3? There are several benefits to it. It provides cutting-edge data security, data availability, performance, and scalability which means that organizations can use the S3 for storing and protecting unlimited volumes of data in the cloud. This includes databases with mobile applications, enterprise applications, websites, protection to unlimited volumes...

Make Amazon Redshift as AWS DMS Target Database

Image
  Amazon Redshift database is a data warehouse solution based in the cloud. With Amazon Database Migration Service, you can migrate data from supported databases keeping Redshift as the target. However, it is essential to ensure that the AWS account and the AWS region form a part of the same Redshift cluster. The first step in DMS REDSHIFT database migration is to move data to an Amazon S3 bucket with AWS DMS. Once the files are located in the S3 bucket, the Amazon S3 automatically transfers the intended tables to the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. The S3 bucket, as pointed out previously has to be in the same AWS Region as the Amazon Redshift database. However, when AWS CLI or DMS API is used for DMS Redshift migration, an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) path have to be set up to get access to S3. Amazon Redshift provides automated processes in the following cases. ·         Modifications made at source tables by incremental dat...

Features and Functions of Software for Data Replication

Image
  Data replication is the activity where several copies of the same data sets are made and stored in different locations, thereby allowing easy data accessibility across the network. The replicated data can be stored on-site or off-site, in the same system or cloud-based locations. Data replication is so critical that major database technologies such as Microsoft SQL or Oracle database have in-built systems for this activity. Data replication takes place in two ways. One is asynchronous that carries out replication when the Commit statement is issued to the database. The other is synchronous replication where any change that is made to the data at source will be automatically replicated to the data at target. One of the most optimized methods to carry through this process is to use a very effective data replication software . The advantage of the software is that it helps to quickly create a replica of the database at source to a location that is completely independent of the s...
