What does the Cloud mean for Data Management?Challenges and Opportunities Anastasia Ailamaki EPFL, Switzerland
Cloud • A set of locationlessservices • Cloud customers access • Storage • Computing • Applications • Huge benefits • Cost (HP: 85->6 DCs, $1B/yr, -60% + energy etc) • Utilization (40-66% less servers / 3x work) Cloud infrastructure a key investment today
Trustworthy? Not really. • you’d trust the cloud to store: • Data you can lose access to for a while • Stuff that is not really private/confidential • but rarely • Data you need fast/full/private access to. Important data reside outside the cloud
Common complaints • Not fast, predictable, reliable enough • No privacy guarantees • What if the cloud loses data? • Poor application/storage interface • Data is not easily movable Clouds need DATABASE research
Questions • What new research directions does the cloud inspire for data management? • How does "old" traditional DB research change? • What is the "cloud face" of the state of the art in mobile and distributed data management? • Impact on businesses of cloud computing in Greece and Cyprus?
