LATEST INTELLIGENCE THRIVE OR JUST SURVIVE? YOU CHOOSE. UNLOCK YOUR DATA’S FULL POTENTIAL PRESENTED BY yYOUR DATA IS GOLD. HOW DO YOU MINE IT? Your business is housing a gold mine of data and is trusting your team to manage, protect, and mine insights from it. This can be a daunting task, especially considering that today, data is being created faster than ever before – over 2.5 quintillion bytes per day. This presents both a unique opportunity and challenge for your business. In order to extract value from data, your business needs an efficient means of not only collecting, but also storing, processing, analyzing and utilizing data. This is where your database operations come in. If, like most enterprises, your databases are built on traditional IT infrastructure, the complex siloed compute, storage, and network resources are not optimized for today’s demanding business needs. Today, organizations require access to high quality data with built-in resiliency and security to keep data available yet secure. Without it, running datadriven projects without delay, non-disruptively, and without risk becomes extremely difficult. Research shows running your databases on legacy infrastructure is: 1. Costly. 75% of database management costs are spent on labor. 2. Complex. 72% of IT budget is spent on basic maintenance rather than innovation. ◊ www.intelligentdatacentres.com Issue 19 15
