Norbert Kremer, Ph.D.

Cloud Solution Architect

Analytics By Design

This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.

The advantages of cloud computing are compelling for most enterprises. Virtually every start-up company is born in the cloud. Established enterprises with large on-premises workloads continue to migrate many workloads to public cloud providers. In this session, expert solution architect Norbert Kremer will examine key trends and challenge some commonly accepted truths that may not make sense for every situation. Kremer will provide guidance on how to build a strategic plan for moving to one or more clouds and also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each cloud and their data platforms. This plan will have migration goals, ranked by priority, and may specify that some workloads remain on-premises.
