Answer:

The enormous amount of data and information that a company generates and consumes today can become an organizational and logistical nightmare. Storing data, integrating it and protecting it, so that it can be accessed in a fluid, fast and remote way, is one of the fundamental pillars for the successful management of any company, both for productive reasons and for being able to manage and give an effective response to the customers.

Good big data management is key to compete in a globalized market. With employees, suppliers and customers physically spread across different cities and countries, the better the data is handled in an organization, the greater its ability to react to market demand and its competitors.

Databases are nowadays an indispensable pillar to manage all the information handled by an organization that wants to be competitive. However, at a certain point of development in a company, when growth is sustained and the objective is expansion, the doubt faced by many managers and system administrators is whether they should continue to use a database system, or if they should consider the leap to a data warehouse. When is the right time to move from one data storage system to another?
