Solving the Data Growth Problem, Part 2

As mentioned in Part 1 of our blog series, enterprise customers constantly feel the business impact of rapid data growth through reduced application performance. This means that, overall, customers are besieged with the cost and complexity of storing and managing large volumes of data.

What if it were possible for partners to present their customers with a solution that fits within their storage budget and greatly reduces the cost of managing data over its lifecycle?

Enter “infinite storage” repository—a tiered storage environment where data is automatically moved, copied and stored on different types of media (performance disk/high-capacity disk/tape) to optimize cost, availability, performance, backup/recovery objectives and long-term retention requirements.

While the ability to transparently place data on the most cost-effective tier is an obvious benefit, the need to scale the data infrastructure is essential in an environment with rapid data growth. Such a repository would scale to hundreds of petabytes—simply by adding more disk or tape storage capacity.

The partner’s solution would potentially:

Let Oracle help you help your customers find a storage solution that fits well within their budgets, while you build the necessary sales and implementation skills through Oracle’s Tiered Storage Specialization.

Best of luck to you!
