Perhaps it goes without saying that we all understand how important data is in today’s digital age. The real question to answer is how to optimize the value that is derived from these data assets.

Many businesses are now using data management systems (Databases) for their management activities, software development, online transactions… “Space” of data continues to expand. every day when the need to use data is also more and more. A number of businesses and organizations in the fields of business, software development, education, etc. are now operating their database systems on traditional platforms such as physical servers at the company. company. However, this implementation often encounters some obstacles when it is not always easy to adjust the hardware configuration or operation, along with the difficulty in backing up and restoring data. Because traditional physical infrastructure often poses a number of security risks such as: hardware failure, damage, human manipulation error, data loss leakage, etc., a storage place is required. specifically for data backup.

Anh Son, the technology director of a large university, shared that the server system located at his school after a long time of use had encountered a hardware failure that could not be replaced immediately (specifically, the system was slow down). due to degraded hardware) and resulted in Database unable to timely return data to LMS system (online training platform). Teachers and students cannot access the learning system, causing delays, disruptions to learning and affecting the overall progress of the school.

He also added that the upfront cost to build an internal database can be very high, it will need to buy equipment to set up database servers, and it will take time to wait for hardware orders. Besides, it also requires more space to book, if businesses rent space, it also costs more space.

In addition, maintaining and managing physical servers requires a lot of work because there is always a need for staff to monitor work 24/24. Furthermore, scaling a traditional database is expensive because additional software and hardware will have to be planned to accommodate the growth of the database and the business. Then you need to wait to buy a new device, install it on the system, and configure these hardware to run the database. If the requirement is frequent when the business has a regular expansion cycle, this will be an expensive recurring expense and effort.

Meanwhile, if the demand for use decreases, the physical servers at this time are not operating at full capacity but still have to be maintained to avoid depreciation, leading to huge waste, not only the cost of daily operation. days but also the initial investment costs.

Bizfly Cloud Database saves 90% of operating time and effort, safe and easy data backup plan

After considering all the issues, Mr. Son decided to migrate the school’s database to the Bizfly Cloud Database (DBaaS) service. Then the database will be run on the powerful server system located at the supplier’s data center, new hardware purchases (servers, network equipment, …) level, regular maintenance will be eliminated. These jobs will be handled and taken care of by the supplier.

With the cloud model, Cloud Database costs can be paid monthly or annually, paid according to the actual capacity used, and businesses can consider this as an operating expense instead of a capital expense. With Bizfly Cloud, businesses can easily adjust the configuration including CPU, RAM, Disk used for the database, or combine with automatic solutions to automatically increase or decrease their database system. Thanks to these automation capabilities, which frees up to 90% of operating time and effort for personnel, there will be no need to have administrative personnel dedicated to this task, but shift to focus on product development. .

To backup data is also very easy, through creating backups right on the Bizfly Cloud Database system without deploying a separate system just for data backup. Backups are used to back up database data and restore those data at the time of backup in case of failure. The university’s LMS online teaching application thereby increases availability when data is always transmitted quickly, ensuring smooth and seamless learning of students in all incidents data.

Bizfly Cloud Database is pioneered by Bizfly Cloud in the market, providing ready-made database versions that are widely used around the world today, including: MariaDB (MySQL compatible), MongoDB, Redis , PostgreSQL… and constantly updating new utilities to best meet the needs of businesses. With a diverse system of cloud solutions, businesses can easily integrate Bizfly Cloud Database with many pioneering infrastructure services such as K8s, Cloud LMS, CDN, Container Registry, API Gateway… for their various needs. .
