Data Gravity – Reaching Escape Velocity

Data Gravity describes the gravitational effect your data has on your applications and services. Simply put, those apps and services are pulled to where your data is stored. This pull can create lock-in to your provider, excessive costs accessing that data in the form of egress charges, and reduced flexibility in choosing where and how to deploy applications. This session will provide a framework for assessing your current and future data locality requirements and an understanding of when and where to consider data repatriation.
