Database Presentation
Each one has been assigned either a vendor who produces several database platforms or a class of database platforms. For this assignment, you are going to do a detailed technical and business evaluation of the assigned vendor and/or database class.
IBM company
Each group must answer the following questions in the form of an executive business presentation.
Pretend you are trying to sell the CEO of a company on why they should move their database to the assigned platform. Using these questions below as your guide, create a presentation that provides clear, concise facts.
The presentation should not just include content in the slides itself - it should also include detailed notes and research in the NOTES sections to back up the executive style presentation you will offer. Keep the presentation to 20 minutes total. Remember, each member of the group should equally contribute to the speaking as you will be individually graded for your contribution.
When submitting, you will submit the YouTube URL and the PowerPoint PPT with extended notes etc.
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:

What industries are these database vendors tools or database technology platforms used in? Is the market increasing or decreasing for technology?
What are the key features for each of these database platforms? What are differentiators compared to other database platforms in its like-kind class?
Are these databases used on-premise only? Cloud-based only? Mainframe only? Explain the infrastructure use case for each of these databases that you are discussing.
Provide three (3) business uses for why a customer/client would want to use your vendors/class of database technology in their environment.
What are key technical skills a data administrator or database administrator would require if they use this platform?
