Executive Summary

Removing databases is an uncommon practice in the industry. Why? Because it's more challenging than building a new one. The number of databases that each enterprise has continues to grow because of newer applications, and the need for development and maintenance of existing applications. Forrester estimates that more than 10% of all databases in enterprises are not used or are sparingly used and therefore, could be removed or archived, which can improve overall manageability and lower costs. Enterprises should look at removing databases on a regular basis through database consolidation, recycling among projects, and by eliminating unwanted databases.
