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 recovery

Typical environmentNon-OLTP databases & warehouses built on Oracle racks or similar packagesLoading & aggregating data is slow due to data volumes & data instancesWhen specialized process is required (e.g., real-time access to information), intermediate or temporary environments must be set up, equipped, operated, and monitored.Opportunity for Saving with TervelaProduct Licensing: Oracle licenses by CPU – huge savings can be realized with Vertica or a similar product (but this requires built-in disaster recovery & reliability, provided by Tervela)Bandwidth: High speed routing between data warehouse instances improves responsiveness & aggregation timesEliminating Temporary Infrastructure: Real-time inter-warehouse data access delivered by Tervela’s fabric eliminates intermediate environments.ICAP: > 12 month ROI to consolidate 36 instances of Oracle rack
