What Are The Advantages of Cloud Databases

Regarding databases, many companies and individual developers are still accustomed to using self-built open source databases, but self-built open source databases rely heavily on professional DBAs and database technicians to manually download versions, patches, analyze bugs, and then manually install and deploy. This kind of operation and maintenance problem.
Apart from self-built open source database, don't we have other better database options?

The answer is yes, cloud database allows you to apply for a database instance that can basically solve all the above problems within a few minutes.

A cloud database refers to a database that is optimized or deployed in a virtual computing environment, which can realize the advantages of paying on demand, expanding on demand, high availability, and storage integration.

Even if cloud databases can solve the various thorny problems of self-built open source databases at this stage, enterprises and individual developers still have many concerns.

"Is the cloud database secure? Can data encryption be implemented? Will it be prone to data leakage?"

"How much can the cloud database expand during storage expansion? Will the expansion stop?"

"How much does the cloud database cost? What is the charging model? Will the cost be high?"

"Will the original data migration to the cloud be troublesome? Will it take a long time?"

...

Problems like these are the reasons why many companies and individual developers dare not use cloud databases lightly. Based on this, I will say this time, what are the benefits of using cloud databases for enterprises?

Application of cloud database in enterprises

As the basic resource pool of various application systems in the enterprise, the database covers most of the effective and highly sensitive data within the organization, and has truly begun to become a non-materialized asset. Applying cloud database to the enterprise management system can give better solutions to many problems, such as database expansion, construction and maintenance of the database, the security and confidentiality of database resources in the cloud environment, etc. .

1. Low cost

First of all, cloud computing-based systems can save the purchase and maintenance costs of hardware devices such as computers and network switches. At the same time, it can provide enterprises with relatively economical application software services. The cost of cloud database is much lower than the cost of self-built database. Enterprises can choose different packages according to their own needs. Under normal circumstances, you can get a set of professional database support services at a very low price. high.

2. Easy deployment

Enterprises can easily complete the database application and creation in the cloud database console, and it will be ready and put into use within a few minutes. The enterprise manages all instances in a unified manner through the fully functional console provided by the cloud database.

3. High reliability

The cloud database has a complete automatic data backup mechanism, and high reliability allows you to rest assured that you can put your data in the cloud without worrying about data loss.
Cloud databases can fully host various management tasks in the cloud (such as hardware expansion, database settings, patch upgrades, and backup recovery). Similarly, cloud databases like Xiaoniao Cloud also have complete monitoring and alarm functions, and can be used immediately. Create value immediately. Let you focus on application development, away from the troubles of database operation and maintenance.

Gartner once stated: In 2023, 75% of the world's databases will be moved to the cloud! This means that more and more companies and individual developers will realize the benefits of migrating databases to the cloud, and the traditional self-built open source database model may gradually be replaced.

Data is the core of all businesses. To manage, analyze, and mine the value of data more effectively, cloud databases are inseparable.
