Seven reasons to move to Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse
Anything your on-premises data warehouse can do, Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) can do better. Here are seven reasons to transform your operations and move your data warehouse to the cloud.
1
Rapid deployment of data marts
Business users today expect to interact directly with data via analytics tools, rather than just passively reviewing reports prepared for them by analysts. ADW enables data marts to be created quickly and easily, providing rapid access to data for specialist analysis.
2
Creation of flexible ‘sandboxes’
ADW enables sandbox environments—non-operational ‘idea zones’ for business analysts and data scientists to experiment in—to be spun up and taken down easily, without placing an excessive load on your core operating processes.
3
Consolidation of disparate data sources
Combining all your different sources of data can be a real headache, especially if that data lives in the far reaches of your organisation. Make your data warehouse accessible to everyone via the cloud, and give your whole business the ability to gain new insights from all your data.
4
Integration of new data
How will you integrate new data with your current data? It’s much easier if your data warehouse is in the cloud. With Autonomous Data Warehouse, you can ensure fast, scalable data-loading from Oracle Object Store, AWS S3, or on-premises sources, enabling data to be integrated and then shared more easily.
5
Confidently handle big data
How will you cope with unexpected business growth? Or with an explosion in data volumes caused by big data sources? The immediate scalability of the cloud means that ADW will be able to manage the growth easily, instantly and independently by compute or storage.
6
Easily connect Oracle and third-party BI and analytics tools
Gaining accurate, predictive insight is a key requirement in today’s fast-changing markets. ADW helps to improve the quality, scope and availability of your data—and enable your workforce to discover new insights via Oracle or leading third-party BI tools, helping you stay ahead of your competitors.
7
Maintain effective data security
ADW provides enterprise grade security, where data is encrypted by default in the cloud, as well as in transit and at rest. Plus, with its autonomous ‘self-securing’ capabilities, it means that the very latest security patches will always be applied proactively to protect your data warehouse.

Summary

ADW is easy, fast and elastic. It delivers greater simplicity and scalability than your current data warehouse, and provides stronger data security. You can make faster, more informed decisions using its advanced analytics tools—to transform the value of your data management capabilities.
