DBA’S HAVE MANY CHALLENGES
Responsive to Executive data demands
More work, but flat to declining budget
Policy enforcement
Set up new databases – normally takes hours/days
Availability of applications – effect of HW failures
Testing and upgrading applications
Determine performance limitations But…cannot take data offsite
Meeting spikes in workload requirements Example: Christmas shopping season!
“Data Center revenue grew 10% with order growth rates in the mid-30s. Revenue this quarter in data center had some impact from lower backlog coming into the quarter and the timing of shipments. The pipeline continues to look very strong and UCS continues to take market share.”
