Benefits
The total cost of ownership (TCO) of a data warehouse consists of initial entry costs, on-going maintenance costs and the cost of changing capacity as the data warehouse grows. DW appliances offer low entry and maintenance costs. Initial costs depend on the size of the appliance installed.
The resource cost for monitoring and tuning the data warehouse makes up a large part of the TCO, often as much as 80%. DW appliances reduce administration for day-to-day operations, setup and integration. Many also offer low costs for expanding processing power and capacity.
With an increased focus on controlling costs combined with tight IT Budgets, data warehouse managers sometimes need to reduce and manage expenses even while leveraging their technology as much as possible, making DW appliances a solution.
