Data on Steroids: Building A Fast Financial Database Using A Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure – Alex Legault, Associate Director of Products, PitchBook To enable PitchBook to continually add new datasets, roll out advanced features and improve the user interface, the company required a flexible and fluid cloud environment. This led PitchBook to embark on a 1.5 year journey to deploy a hybrid cloud infrastructure leveraging Rackspace and AWS combined with a shift to a service oriented architecture. In this session, PitchBook’s associate director of product, Alex Legault, will pull back the curtain on the challenges the company faced in the process of selecting cloud providers, managing and training two globally dispersed teams as well as a detailed account of the migration. Audiences will walk away with a better understanding of the benefits and tradeoffs of a hybrid cloud deployment and SOA as well as a thorough blueprint for implementation, including key lessons and surprises learned along the way.
