Who should get the technology vote in the UK General Election?

In this week’s Computer Weekly, we take an in-depth look at the technology and digital policies in the main political parties’ election manifestos. We examine the rise of alternatives to relational databases that better support a big data environment. And we assess the security issues around container technology.

  • Jargon buster guide to database management

    Database management roles have long been a rich career seam for IT professionals. However, there has been, in recent years, a “Cambrian explosion” in the previously steady but sleepy world of databases.

    The relational database model, breaking the traditional dependency between data storage and applications, held sway in enterprise IT for decades, from the time of its serious commercialisation by Oracle in the mid-7os. Also hegemonic has been the language implementation of the relational model, SQL – Structured Query Language; which is of the same mid-70s vintage.

    But, in recent years, with the rise of the big data technologies of the Hadoop stack and the NoSQL databases, the data store and database scene has become more complex.

    And when it comes to the Oracle database, its creator announced it to be “autonomous” at Oracle Open World in San Francisco October 2017. What does this mean for database administrators (DBAs)? Does it mean the opening up of new roles of higher intellectual interest and value? Or does it mean redundancy and early retirement?

    As always with IT, the technology is only one-third of the story – the others being process and, crucially, people. What are the operational and organisational design problems to be solved in this more heterogenous database management landscape?

    This Jargon Buster e-guide to contemporary database management is an aid to stepping back and thinking afresh about an area of enterprise IT that has many decades of heritage. Or, as many sometimes (arguably rudely) put it, legacy.

Many of them are compatible with an open source approach, giving you advantages such as the acceleration of innovation, flexibility, customisation, and community support. There are also innovations in the space where databases can run in a multi-cloud environment. However, these features and benefits come with their own set of challenges, and operating database clusters can be difficult. In addition, databases need to be integrated within a stack of technologies, such as the infrastructure it is deployed on and other data and AI tools. Faced with these and other challenges (like unpredictable costs and industry skill gaps), companies are finding it increasingly difficult to achieve operational excellence with an in-house team to manage databases. This is why they turn to managed service providers (MSPs).

  • Driving AI Innovation: Making It Easy to Build Generative AI Apps with Redis

    With so many people – like your CIO – hyped about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI products like ChatGPT, you’re likely under a lot of pressure to develop applications with those technologies for your company. Like, yesterday. But how do you turn terabytes of unstructured data – ranging from text to images, audio, and video – into useful information for the AI application? The answer is a vector database. Vectorizing converts unstructured data into numerical representations known as vector embeddings, and Redis stores, indexes, and retrieves them. Vectors make searching for similar images or text or documents – vector similarity search (VSS) – faster and easier. Moreover, an external vector database with domain-specific, proprietary, or more recent data – used with public general purpose large language models – improves AI application responses. Not to mention, keeping it from making things up.   In this tech talk, find out how to use Redis’s vector database capabilities for real-time AI apps. We show the elements of building generative AI applications – using Redis technology you already know. Watch to find out more about it. * What’s a vector database * Examples * Why LLMs need real-time response * Redis Enterprise VSS features and differentiators

  • How to Secure Sensitive Data in Database as a Service (DBaaS) Environments

    Database as a Service (DBaaS) environments, such as Amazon RDS and Amazon Redshift, are prized for bringing speed, agility, and low cost to enterprises born in or moving to the cloud. DBaaS gives these organizations the tools to bring new applications and services to market faster, get more value to customers faster, reduce complexity in database operations, and achieve greater overall flexibility compared to customer-managed databases. Securing data in the DBaaS environment, however, is a challenge. Managed database services providers furnish a secure platform, but applying security policies and identifying non-compliant behavior is the customer’s responsibility. How can you secure sensitive data hosted in DBaaS environments and stop security threats from nullifying the benefits that managed database services deliver? In this webinar, Cloud Data Security expert Ran Rosin will help you: - Understand the drivers that are compelling so many organizations to use managed database services to deliver more value faster to their customers - Gain awareness of your data security responsibilities in DBaaS environments - Identify the “four pillars” you must address to successfully extend data security policies to DBaaS environments - Weigh your options and choose the right solution for securing your sensitive data in cloud-based managed database services
