Oracle Customer Success—Boston Medical Center
Boston Medical Center Expects to Cut Costs for Data Warehouse Storage and Management While Improving Performance by up to 74%
ShareOracle Database Appliance was an easy choice. It delivers high performance and availability, the latest and greatest hardware with corresponding throughput, and a lower total cost of ownership—all while reducing IT-management complexity.
Committed to providing consistently excellent, accessible, and cost-effective healthcare to all, BMC seeks expanded insight into care outcomes and quality. The medical center’s data warehouse, which contains clinical data from numerous electronic health-record systems as well as operational data from enterprise applications, is key to this objective. With storage requirements growing rapidly and the environment in need of a hardware refresh, BMC looked for a new data infrastructure solution that would deliver the value, high performance, and scalability it required.
BMC decided to standardize on Oracle Database Appliance to optimize its clinical and operational data environment. Assessing various options, BMC determined that it could lower its total cost of ownership and improve the performance of its legacy environment by transitioning to the engineered solution. When in full production, BMC anticipates that Oracle Database Appliance with Oracle Real Application Clusters will save the medical center significantly in annual costs for storage, engineering resources, and in time and effort spent managing multiple technology vendors.
In the development and test environment, BMC is seeing more efficient CPU and RAM usage, and it has improved runtime-reporting performance by up to 74%. It also has boosted the performance of its Oracle Application Express environment. In addition, the medical center is consolidating its data management team to a single Oracle DBA, freeing server and storage engineers to focus on other priority initiatives.
Moving forward, Oracle Database Appliance, which offers a flexible capacity-on-demand licensing model, will enable BMC to scale up and down, depending on need.
Oracle Database Appliance offered several important advantages over a traditional solution stack. Cost and performance were important considerations, with Oracle Database offering considerable advantage over an AIX and EMC environment. As important, the solution streamlines management considerably—which significantly reduces our total cost of ownership. We used to require storage and UNIX engineers, as well as a DBA to support our legacy environment. Now, we will support Oracle Database Appliance with a single DBA.
