FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPANY SAVES MORE THAN $2M IN ORACLE RELATED COSTS WITH VXFLEX INTEGRATED RACK

For four years, this financial services company had been running Oracle Exadata on their Oracle databases. During that time, database administrators managed the Exadata infrastructure themselves but as the environment grew to six Exadata systems they struggled to keep up with the day-to-day care and maintenance of those systems. Having experienced multiple performance inconsistencies, the lean IT team of eight people required the infrastructure team to become involved. It was then that the company realized the value and efficiency of utilizing HCI to improve current operations. With the Dell EMC solution that is described in this case study, the benefits included $1.8M reduction in hardware support expenses over three years, 13% decrease in core Oracle licensing and $455K savings in Oracle licensing support costs annually along with 12% performance improvement on workloads.
