Speed, agility and cost savings were the initial draw of cloud databases. Organizations are now looking to incorporate the cloud database into their infrastructures as they re-engineer their environments to support new development processes, operational models and data demands.

The questions now before organizations are:

• Which of the disparate and evolving needs of an organization can be best served by a cloud database?
• How does a cloud database support a wide range of users and workloads?
• How do organizations establish a cloud database as an internal resource?

Clearly, the question no longer centers on when or if organizations will adopt cloud databases, but how organizations will optimize their value and use them most effectively. This white paper explores how Postgres Plus Cloud Database from EnterpriseDB (EDB) addresses these questions.
