Business Need
- Reduce the cost of data storage.
- Ensure the company can respond quickly to customer requests.
Challenges
- Migration to a new Oracle e-Business Suite platform: once copies of the production and test databases were included, the database size was forecast to reach 80 terabytes.
- Platform size would quickly overwhelm the company’s storage infrastructure, impact user response times, and lead to higher infrastructure costs.
Solutions & Results
- Reduced costs by up to $1.5 million over a 2- to 3-year lease term, equivalent to a six-month ROI.
- Cut backup window by 25 percent, from eight hours to six hours.
- Saved 18.8 terabytes of capacity, avoiding future expansion costs.
- Improved application data life cycle management.
