Automating Database Administration Can Improve Efficiency And Lower Costs

by Noel Yuhanna

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Automation formalizes the data management practice, minimizes complexity, and lets enterprises focus on business issues, rather than having to deal with technology-related challenges. Forrester estimates that 25% of all database outages are related to human errors, mainly because of complexity in managing databases and infrastructure, as well as informal data management practices. Although the percent of such outages is decreasing because of improved and simplified database management systems (DBMS) products, enterprises can accelerate the process by automating routine administration tasks. By 2009, most of the database administration tasks, such as migrations, upgrades, patch deployments, replication, data loading, and performance tuning, will be completely automated as DBMS vendors deliver highly innovative and automated database solutions.
