Grant's title: Hosting PostgreSQL in the Cloud

Grant's abstract: The decision to place your data into PostgreSQL databases is an easy one when you consider how advanced the technology is and how fast it moves. However, many organizations don't have the knowledge and infrastructure to host their PostgreSQL databases locally. The obvious answer then is to take advantage of the cloud. This session will talk about the different cloud platforms, what they offer in terms of data protection, performance and management and how best to take advantage of their offerings. We'll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of cloud-based data management. We'll also talk about the necessary maintenance you'll still need to perform on your PostgreSQL databases. You'll leave the session with more confidence in your move to cloud-based PostgreSQL hosting.
