For decades, databases have been managed manually through fixed compute and storage resources acquired for fixed periods and maintained by the data center staff. But in recent years, a better alternative has arisen - moving workloads to managed database services in the cloud.

In this IDC White Paper, sponsored by Amazon Web Services, Enabling Database Excellence: Moving the Database to Managed Services, IDC database analyst Carl Olofson examines the challenges of manually managing databases, considers the benefits of moving to a managed cloud database service, and provides actionable advice on how to proceed.
