Birds migrate. But why do data warehouses?
Well, let’s be specific here. Birds migrate either north or south. Data warehouses are only going in one direction. Up, to the cloud. It’s a common trend we’re seeing across every vertical and across every region. Companies are moving their existing data warehouses to cloud environments like Amazon Redshift. And more often than not –unlike their feather counterparts– once they migrate to the cloud, they never come back. But why? Simply put, it just makes sense.
