We’ve all learned the advantages of preventative maintenance on our cars. None of us would expect to drive 100,000 miles without having a skilled mechanic inspect and maintain the car’s engine, brakes, and other systems as needed. Databases need preventative maintenance as well, but too many companies are failing to address this need.
The Risks of Database Neglect
Databases are working constantly in the background, and without proper maintenance their performance degrades. Your database loses speed and efficiency, and in the worst cases, it crashes. Keep in mind that if your database crashes, LoadMaster, PowerBroker, and DocumentPower cannot function.
One of the essential business challenges is learning how to manage risk. What risks are you taking with your data? How much would it cost you to have your system down for one hour or longer? How much time are you losing trying to handle systems maintenance without the right IT personnel on staff?
It’s not easy to put a dollar figure on lost productivity, but it’s safe to say that unplanned system downtime is extremely expensive for businesses of any size. The same is true for the costs incurred when data is corrupted or lost. In the end, every successful business must take steps to avoid these outcomes.
