DBaaS Without the Risks
// Build AWS-compatible Private Clouds with CumuLogic

There's no doubt that Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is a fast growing segment in the cloud industry. DBaaS has enormous benefits to developers and operations teams, making the complex work of deploying and managing databases simple and fast. But with all these benefits, public DBaaS introduces a number of risks as well…

As with any decision, developers, architects and operations teams owe it to themselves, and to their organizations, to fully understand the risks in every decision they make. More importantly, they they need to be sure that they've explored alternative options that might just reduce the risk with similar benefits. This is even more important when making decisions that affect how and where your data is going to be stored. Public DBaaS offerings, while attractive and useful, come at the cost of losing options.

Ask yourself: Does your organization have regulatory obligations to fulfill? Do you have customer expectations that their data will be stored in a particular geography? And, perhaps most importantly, will your data be close to the apps that consume it?

The answers to these questions will vary from company to company, and even from application to application. For many, public DBaaS services simply don't provide the flexibility necessary to both benefit from "as a Service" consumption of databases and to make the right choice about location for each application. Most lock you into a specific cloud provider, and all of these services lack an on-prem option.

At CumuLogic, we believe that there's a better way to do DBaaS. The CumuLogic DBaaS platform gives you the control you need to make your own decisions about infrastructure and the location of your data. You get control of the software the runs the service itself, and your teams get the flexibility to deploy databases into any number of infrastructure targets. You can use public cloud providers, local server farms, or private clouds, all from the same interface. This approach ensures that you have full control over where your data is stored, while your application teams get the same benefits of a public DBaaS service. They get access to a fully automated provisioning and management process, easily accessed via the CumuLogic console or API.

This is DBaaS freedom.
