Maintain Service Level Agreements
and Reduce Costs

Database teams are under greater pressure to ensure the rapid deployment, patching and optimizing of databases. Aggressive service level agreements (SLAs) designed to accelerate time to market, maximize performance and maintain security are becoming more and more difficult to achieve as fewer people are available to manage an increasing number of databases.

GridApp Clarity empowers database teams to continue meeting aggressive SLAs with constrained budgets and resources. Highlighted benefits achieved at customer deployments include:

• Reduced time to patch 50 databases from ~1 DBA month to 30 DBA minutes

• Reduced time to deploy Oracle RAC environment from 1 DBA week to 1 DBA hour

• Reduced time to deploy clustered SQL Server environment from 4 DBA days to 1 DBA hour

• Reduced time to change user information on 100 databases (Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server) from 3 DBA hours to 5 DBA minutes

• Enabled DBA team to get immediate inventory and license accounting freeing them from manual collection and guaranteeing compliance with licensing guidelines

Most importantly, GridApp Clarity does not require heavy scripting and customization to drive value. This not only reduces the time/cost of deployment but ensures ongoing value even when fundamental database processes evolve. Database vendors, such as Oracle, are constantly updating and changing their patching, best practices, system requirements, and support guidelines. GridApp Clarity's built-in knowledge base is aware of these updates and automatically adapts workflows to meet these changes, which frees DBAs from having to rewrite and customize scripts.

The dramatic efficiency benefits achieved using GridApp Clarity have enabled enterprises to improve SLA delivery with significantly fewer resources.
