Business Benefits of Running DBaaS in an Open-Source Virtualized Environment
Read/Download White Paper (PDF)
Intel IT now runs part of our database as a service (DBaaS) in an open-source containerized environment, in response to vendors’ move to per-core licensing. The new bare-metal infrastructure is driving cost efficiencies and future-proofing IT investments. We have also added important new capabilities that improve resource utilization and enhance the user experience. The new infrastructure avoids per-core virtualization license fees, lets us provision resources on demand, and eliminates several thousand cores. We expect the new infrastructure to save USD 2.5 million in hypervisor license costs annually, with an estimated return on investment period of just six months.
