In addition to Oracle, our expertise also includes the best-known open source database systems like MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL.

Architecture


Topic managers:
Marco Pachaly-Mischke, Elke Fritsch, Dagmar Förster 

The architecture section is all about the differences, similarities and critical structures of databases on-premises, in the cloud and on various containers. In other words, the basic infrastructure on which the database is ultimately operated. What needs to be considered when migrating between these “worlds”, for which purposes is which architecture best suited and what is the best way to monitor heterogeneous database landscapes?

Are AI and ML changing the way databases are managed and used? Can AI-powered databases process queries more efficiently and accurately?
