The use of data and analytics in the cloud is no longer an aspiration, it’s a reality. Most, if not all, enterprise organisations already have multiple workloads in public and private clouds. The challenge is maintaining control over data. This is not only in terms of cost, security and governance, but also in balancing the relentless demand from the people who want frequent access to the data they need at speed. Let’s not forget that despite the benefits of cloud, many workloads will remain on-premise now and for the future.
