SendGrid Improves Email Delivery with Hybrid Data Warehousing – Informatica Cloud Integration
April 14, 2016 | 10:00 – 11:00 AM PST
When you received your Uber ‘Tuesday Evening Ride Receipt’ or Spotify’s ‘This Week’s New Music’ email, did you think about how they got there? SendGrid’s reliable email platform delivers each month over 20 Billion transactional and marketing emails on behalf of many of your favorite brands, including Uber, Airbnb, Spotify, Foursquare and NextDoor. SendGrid was looking to evolve its data warehouse architecture in order to improve decision making and optimize customer experience. They needed a scalable and reliable architecture that would allow them to move nimbly and efficiently with a relatively small IT organization, while supporting the needs of both business and technical users at SendGrid.
SendGrid’s Director of Enterprise Data Operations will be joining architects from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Informatica to discuss SendGrid’s journey to a hybrid cloud architecture and how a hybrid data warehousing solution is optimized to support SendGrid’s analytics initiative. Speakers will also review common technologies and use cases being deployed in hybrid cloud today, common data management challenges in hybrid cloud and best practices for addressing these challenges.

GenomeNext, a genomic informatics company, analyzes massive amounts of data which represent human blueprints to deliver comprehensive genomic insights into genetic variation and disease to healthcare and scientific organizations. To meet the challenges of their exponential data growth, they turned to Amazon Web Services, which offers physical security, instance isolation, and protection for the foundation services. As an added layer of security, GenomeNext also turned to Alert Logic to secure their applications and exceed government and regulatory compliance. In this webinar, learn how GenomeNext utilized security-as-a-service (SaaS) with Alert Logic to secure their applications on AWS, and how you can securely plan, architect, and execute similar big data projects.
