Trim the Fat by Leveraging Oracle Technology to Work Leaner |
|
If your organization already owns or plans to purchase Oracle products, you know this is a significant financial and strategic investment. That’s because Oracle infrastructure supports key business processes and applications that businesses rely on to support and conform to business needs and goals.
Oracle understands that their software is strategic to your business. So Oracle works hard every day to deliver stable products and new functionality to enhance their core database and help you pull costs out of IT operations through consolidation, automation and standardization. Oracle is dedicated to enabling you to turn IT into a value center rather than a cost center.
Maximize the value of your Oracle investment
Most IT departments today are tasked with mandates around consolidation and cost reduction, all while increasing service levels. So how do you do more with less? The answer is simple -- leverage the wide range of options and other technology available with Oracle database to help lower your computing costs and meet your users' performance, security, and availability service level expectations. IDC says 70 percent of a server’s cost is power, cooling, etc., so consolidating servers results in huge savings. With the introduction of Oracle VM, Oracle’s free virtualization software, achieving lower hardware, energy and facility costs -- and ultimately reducing TCO -- can quickly become a reality. And with Oracle’s new database management options, your administrators will have the tools they need to manage more databases more effectively while increasing their value to the organization. Database performance and availability will go up while administration costs go down.
Remove the guess work from Oracle licensing requirements
As your business needs evolve, so do your Oracle licensing requirements. Buying software is frequently laden with complex decisions about software components, licensing and terms. Even if you already own Oracle products, it can be challenging and potentially time-consuming to manage Oracle's software licensing agreements. You may have license distribution challenges, which can lead to license shortages. And if you own older license metrics, you may unknowingly be in breach of compliance. These types of licensing situations all have a direct impact on your Oracle support costs. To save money and ensure compliance, you need to optimize these arrangements.
