5 Biggest Things In Tech You Missed This Week: 3/5/16
Here are five big things that happened in the world of technology this past week and why they’re important for your business (and mine). Did you miss them?
1 – Microsoft MSFT -0.64% continues its hybrid push with a stretchable SQL Server.
From PC World: The new feature allows database administrators to set up certain tables to stretch from their on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft’s cloud, while still allowing applications to access all the data across both environments.
Why this is important for your business:
Another great “hybrid” idea. While the cloud is hugely popular, many of my clients still have on-premise applications due to security and performance reasons. On-premise has proved to be more expensive to maintain, so now Microsoft is giving its customers the ability to “stretch” (move) older, lesser-used data to its less expensive Azure platform while still being able to be viewed and shared. This way, storage and maintenance costs would be lower.
2 – A new search engine is introduced.
From Business Wire: Plonked is designed for anyone who is searching for tech businesses, whether for lead generation, M&A or a potential employer. “The Plonked search engine is extremely impressive,” said Tanuja Shukla, investor and Spend Labs CEO. “It is truly a first-of-its kind search engine—not just another knowledge base or look-up engine. In a short time, it has proven to be extremely valuable in helping us identify new targets, without the hassle of a long-term contract or painful integrations.”
