Why the right DBA’s can save you millions..
A DBA is just a DBA, right?
Your company could save a few thousand by employing, in some cases, cheap, but often inexperienced offshore DBA’s.
This may initially appear to reduce your warehousing costs but perhaps a little more thought will pay dividends.
By employing TeraTeam UK’s vast wealth of experience, most of which, gained administering the Teradata systems of a top 4 UK bank, could potentially save you millions of Dollars.
How?
Firstly, our rates are surprisingly reasonable, especially if remote working is utilised. Please contact us for a quote.
Secondly, and more importantly, your Teradata system costs you many millions of dollars to buy and run. Therefore, saving a few thousand dollars a year employing DBA’s through an offshore company may seem a tempting proposition, however, if you wish to make genuine, long-term cost savings, then there is no substitute for our skill and experience.
TeraTeam UK have many years experience in getting the most from Teradata system by using our extensive knowledge and skills in optimising Teradata resource usage and SQL tuning.
Why is this important?
Your Teradata system is comprised of many nodes, all of which have a finite number of resources, be that CPU, I/O or disk space. Each of these can be measured and therefore assigned a Dollar value.
With your SQL professionally optimised by TeraTeam UK, you can save tens of thousand of CPU seconds or I/O per query on complex queries, and fine tuning small, frequently repeated SQL can have just as great an impact – a point often overlooked by the inexperienced DBA. Our experience in reducing disk space usage can cut disk space requirements significantly too.
TeraTeam UK’s experienced DBA team have the tools and processes gained from many years experience in the UK’s biggest and busiest Teradata Warehouse. We can extract the most from your system.
How can this save Millions?
A poorly administered Warehouse with badly optimised code will require expansion more rapidly and more frequently.
How much will you pay to expand your system?
Probably in the region of £200K-£300K per additional node, plus 20% p.a maintenance?
How often will you need to expand?
We have heard of sites planning yearly expansions at £2million a time. Sound familiar?
