4 ways to save big money in your data center and private cloud
DESCRIPTION
The thirst for real-time access to rich content and big data is turning enterprise datacenters into private computing clouds. However, making exabyte-scale data available and responsive to a global application network gets expensive. Fortunately there are things you can do to save big money in these sophisticated new environments. In this presentation you will learn how to save money, avoid costs, and create significant efficiencies in your private cloud by: Consolidating databases and data warehouses, Slashing big data storage and storage-based data replication , Replacing expensive middleware, and Eliminating cold disaster recoveryTRANSCRIPT

Cost Savings and Cost Avoidance Examples
• Improve Efficiency of Databases & Data Warehousing
• Reduce Tier 1 Storage Requirements for Big Data
• Eliminate Legacy Middleware/Messaging Infrastructure
• Eliminate Cold Disaster Recovery Operations
Example #1: Consolidate Databases And Data Warehouses For Non-OLTP Data

Case Study
Leading Interbroker Dealer
Savings $12M savings within 12 months
Approach
Consolidated 36 instances of Oracle RAC into single trading fabric
Source of
Savings
ROI achieved on licensing costs alone
(additional savings from hardware, personnel,
support costs)
Example #1: Consolidate Databases And Data Warehouses For Non-OLTP Data

With Tervela Data Fabric
• Reduced hardware & licensing costs• All systems run hot-hot• Easier & less costly to support• Much higher performance
Example #2: Slash Redundant Storage In Big Data Repositories

Case Study Multinational bank
SavingsEliminate $1M/quarter
in storage cost allocation
Approach
Replicate data to existing storage assets over a data fabric for real-time distributed
applications
Source of
Savings
Removed Tier-1 storage replication

Without Tervela With Tervela
• Big data replicated everywhere• Overly provisioned storage• Substantial bandwidth
• Caching, On-Demand• Multiple access methods• Significantly lower storage
Example #3: Replace Legacy Middleware With Lower-TCOData Fabric Appliances

Case Study
Major Financial Services Company
Savings Several million dollars over 12 months
Approach
Consolidated 5 middleware systems
running on 400 servers into a unified, appliance-
based data fabric
Source of
Savings
Physical hardware, software licenses,
ongoing support costs

AppsMiddleware
• Management nightmare• Overbuilt middleware layer• Jumble of app connections
• Single point of management• Common data fabric• Fluid app connections
Example #4: Eliminate Cold Disaster Recovery Operations by Enabling Hot-Hot DR
12
Case Study
Large Financial Institution
Savings$500K-$750K of annual
DR costs per application
Approach
Linked existing datacenters together to
avoid cold backup processes
Source of
Savings
Avoided expanding Tier1 EMC storage
footprint and equipping it with SRDF or SQL Server replication
