DBA’s Have Many Challenges

  Responsive to Executive data demands

  More work, but flat to declining budget

  Policy enforcement

  Set up new databases – normally takes hours/days

  Availability of applications – effect of HW failures

  Testing and upgrading applications

  Determine performance limitations   But…cannot take data offsite

  Meeting spikes in workload requirements   Example: Christmas shopping season!

“Data Center revenue grew 10% with order growth rates in the mid-30s. Revenue this quarter in data center had some impact from lower backlog coming into the quarter and the timing of shipments. The pipeline continues to look very strong and UCS continues to take market share.”
