Oracle workshop on data centre optimisation
Oracle recently organised a workshop on 'Data Centre Optimisation' in the capital.
The workshop discussed new challenges such as spiraling power and cooling costs, unplanned downtime, and the need for new services and how to minimise the pressure on application infrastructure inside today's data centres as new industry trends such as mobility and big data are putting tremendous pressures on it.
Professionals from various industries such as telecommunications, FSI, manufacturing, public sector along with partners attended the workshop.
At the workshop experts said current data centre operations are unsustainable and often fail to meet the needs of growing businesses and by optimising the existing data centre, organisations can significantly increase their IT efficiency along with system performance, availability, and security while reducing their spending on systems operations and integration that eat up around 80 per cent of the IT budget.
The Optimised Data Centre is a roadmap on which Oracle has developed and transformed its own data centre infrastructure and has proven essential in its ability to grow, innovate and deliver unique products to the market.
Ahsen Javed, country senior director, Oracle South Asia Growth Economies said Data Centre Optimisation is not a machine or software but a combination of storage, servers, operating system, engineered systems, and software to simplify IT infrastructure.
Through data centre optimisation, organisations can consolidate servers by 100:1, reduce deployment time, while lowering costs by 75% and make their applications response time and throughput faster by 10x to 50x.
Oracle's engineered systems, for instance, are purpose-built machines for needs such as data warehousing, online transaction processing, and analytical processing at the enterprise or departmental level.
