“Up to half the world's banks may lose out and

disappear due to failure to keep pace with digital

disruption”

“The huge stores of information about customers is a crucial competitive

edge, and if banking can convert that information into knowledge, they can use it to offer customers goods and

services that better meet their needs”

Francisco González, Group Executive Chairman, BBVA

▪ Public Cloud % of Structured Data Management Software (SQL) will grow from 6% in 2016 to 17% in 2020

▪ Virtually all of the public cloud and hosted SQL versions are virtualized

▪ Large portions of the On Premise Database Resources are Bare Metal $-

Hosting – plan to move

everything to a privately

hosted environment

Mainly private cloud –

production databases

remain on-prem, but

public cloud will be used

sparingly.

Mixed cloud, some

databases in the private

cloud, others in public

cloud

Hybrid cloud with

databases spread

between both private

and public cloud for a

single application

The Need for Consolidated Database Operations

The answer is to concentrate key, closely related data together, for combined analytic and transaction processing,

ideally including a range of data types, catering for different Cloud models, in

support of Digital Transformation
