Retire Your Legacy Applications & Reduce Costs
Speaker:
Mark Lee, Sr.Vice President - Services |
“On average 10% of applications in an unoptimized portfolio are candidates for retirement. An additional one-third can require migration or rationalization”. - Jim Duggan, Gartner analyst (Plan Legacy Application Retirements carefully, April 2009)

Proving ROI from Database Archiving
Speakers:
Charlie Garry, Director Product Manager, Oracle Server Technologies,
Oracle Corporation
Mark Lee, Sr.Vice President - Services |
Gartner’s June 2008 Report on Hype Cycle for Storage Software Technologies stated that the ROI for implementing a Database Archiving solution is “exceptionally high”
Since that Report, published over a year back, the adoption of Database Archiving accelerated in spite of a global economy in a recession. Actually, the recession accelerated all cost-cutting initiatives and archiving got the priority as a means of reducing IT infrastructure costs. Recent examples however show that ROI from Database Archiving goes beyond just savings on storage and server costs.
In this webinar, the speaker will prove the ROI from Database Archiving with actual case studies:
- improving application performance;
- reducing storage and server costs;
- ensuring important historical data
