Jargon buster guide to database management
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
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.

Why databases are at the heart of GenAI apps
By: Google Cloud
Type: White Paper
Generative AI is revolutionizing innovation, and yet implementing GenAI isn’t as easy as flicking a switch. According to Google’s Data & AI Trends report, 86% of organizations recognize that delivering contextual and relevant user experiences through GenAI-integrated databases has a substantial positive impact. However, only 14% of those folks are satisfied with legacy database performance.
This white paper examines how operational databases are central to creating effective enterprise GenAI applications.
Discover how to get started by reading on, as well as how Google Cloud's database and AI services can boost your GenAI projects’ effectiveness.

Managed NoSQL databases for big data and AI-powered applications
By:
Type: Talk
Each type of NoSQL database offers unique strengths and is suited to specific types of applications and data requirements, making them versatile tools in modern data management. 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). In this webinar, Canonical product managers Michelle Tabirao (NoSQL Databases) and Adrian Matei (Managed Services) will dive into what operational excellence means for NoSQL Databases, and how this can be achieved with a managed service provider. We will explore: 1) Introduction and main advantages of adopting NoSQL databases 2) Big data and AI use cases that leverage non-relational databases 3) Operational excellence in NoSQL Databases, from key operations to holistic approaches 4) Benefits and challenges when choosing a managed service provider for your NoSQL database operations 5) Future of NoSQL databases Join us on the 18th of June 2024 for 30 minutes of expertise in NoSQL operations!

Driving AI Innovation: Making It Easy to Build Generative AI Apps with Redis
By:
Type: Replay
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
