Controlling Storage Costs With Oracle Database 11g

Tags:
storage management

Overview Recent ESG research indicates that the average database is expected to grow 25% annually. More resources are needed to retain and manage corporate data. Expenses increase due to poor resource utilization - most organizations think 50% storage utilization is acceptable - as companies buy more systems instead of leveraging existing systems more efficiently. One answer to this information explosion is Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), which can help organizations align the value of information with its underlying IT infrastructure by balancing infrastructure costs with the accessibility and availability requirements of corporate data. ILM can help curb storage costs by utilizing a variety of storage tiers with different performance, reliability and cost characteristics.
