On-Prem, Open-Source Based Database in a Pay-Per-Use Package: HPE GreenLake Database w/ EDB Postgres
We most likely will be upending anyoneโs world-view if we make the claim that database spend is a big slice of
ITโs overall costs, and one that many businesses would love to shrink. Thirty to thirty-five percent is the figure you hear bandied about. Like any other denizens of the tech ecosphere, database vendors have seen their share of competitive disruption and price pressures over the long history (in IT years, anyway) of the RDBMS. But database costs have remained a durable and distinctive feature of most IT operations.
Rethink your database strategy for results
Thatโs changing, with the increasing adoption by enterprises of open source database management systems like PostgreSQL (aka, for simplicity, Postgres). As these solutions have approached parity with proprietary platforms in terms of performance and functionality, theyโve received a warm welcome from businesses looking to roll back database costs and ease vendor lock-in.
But while the opportunities to achieve those goals are very real, database transformation is a big-ticket project, with costs running easily into the millions in many cases. Not all organizations have that kind of cash lying around for an upfront investment. Which is why some companies are throwing enquiring glances at the public cloud. By and large, though, businesses havenโt been particularly enthusiastic about handing off core data management workloads to the cloud, for various and cogent reasons. Data sovereignty is often a concern. You may want to keep sensitive data or private customer-related information on-prem. You may want to avoid the licensing issues that might arise, for example, when you do dev ops in the cloud and then move your apps back to a production environment.
HPE Pointnext is now offering a solution that cuts through the whole knot of challenges around database transformation โ the data migration hurdles, the on-prem vs on-demand choice, the services and support questions, the risk management issues, and all the rest. Itโs called HPE GreenLake Database with EDB Postgres. Weโve teamed up with EnterpriseDB, the leading database platform company for digital business, to offer the EDB Postgres Platform as an HPE GreenLake consumption-based solution.
EDB Postgres delivers all the power of PostgreSQL, but it adds an array of enhancements that provide interoperability, flexibility, and greater control for enterprise users. It offers enterprise-class performance, security, manageability and developer features, as well as compatibility with Oracle. It manages both structured and unstructured data. According to a recent IDC white paper The Economic and Business Advantages of EDB Postgres Database Solutions, it can deliver a 42 percent reduction in three-year cost of operations; a four-month payback period; and a three-year ROI of 168 percent.
HPE GreenLakeโs outcome-based IT consumption model gives you the benefits of on-premises infrastructure with the flexibility and convenience of the cloud. Itโs a complete, built-for-purpose solution that includes HPE hardware optimized for database performance; EDB Postgres software; and services from HPE Pointnext experts to design, implement, and operate the solution. Even better, itโs all tied into a single pay-per-use metric for simplified billing. With HPE GreenLake with EDB Postgres, you get:
Faster time to value.
Because itโs a complete, integrated solution, HPE GreenLake with EDB Postgres is quick to implement. HPEโs tested application and data migration technologies accelerate the journey and mitigate the risks. You have HPE by your side from the get-go, sharing your deep commitment to making the project succeed. And you can easily add on to the solution as you start to see results.
Flexible economics.
HPEโs cloud-like, pay-per-use model lets you sidestep the usual heavy upfront expenditures for on-prem database upgrades. You pay only for the compute, storage and software that youโre actually using. According to HPE internal research, HPE GreenLake Database with EDB Postgres can reduce your database software TCO by as much as 70 percent.
Another thing to think about: Database footprints are exploding these days, and thatโs only going to continue. HPE GreenLake provides a buffer of hardware resources so you can plan ahead and manage that growth in a more proactive and controlled fashion.
Simplified IT. Because we operate and support the solution for you, your admins donโt have to spend time and effort on the nuts-and-bolts of keeping it running; they can turn their attention to tasks that can have the biggest impact on the business.
HPE GreenLake with EDB Postgres provides the enterprise-grade reliability, availability and scalability you need for your databases, up to and including your most demanding mission-critical workloads โ the kind that you might want to run on, for example, HPE Integrity NonStop fault tolerant solutions or an HPE Superdome Flex Server. It has natural synergies with HPE GreenLake Big Data and HPE GreenLake Backup, and pairs well with those solutions. HPE GreenLake with EDB Postgres delivers capabilities that can have a profound impact on companiesโ digital transformation and make database costs a much less obtrusive feature of the IT landscape.
