Summary

The main reasons to modernize infrastructure are to enable centralization of data at infinite scale, with modest upfront capital outlays, and to complement other cloud-based analytics technologies. Modernizing infrastructure improves flexibility in terms of compute and storage, reduces costs, and lowers engineering workloads. The advantages of cloud-based data infrastructure include ease of use, scalability, cost control, and interoperability with newer technologies. Centralizing data is the first and essential step in enabling actionable use of data, especially for democratizing data and building systems that monetize data. Modernization can take place along several dimensions, including moving from on-premise to cloud, switching from ETL to ELT-based architecture, migrating destinations, and upgrading data movement capabilities from batch to real-time.
