Cost optimization techniques are important tools for data management leaders &ndash; and they&rsquo;re not just about cutting spending. Rather, the goals are maximizing cost efficiency and business value. According to industry analyst firm Gartner, &ldquo;many organizations are not aware of these practices or lack a structured plan for executing them.&rdquo;&nbsp;
From the Gartner report, &ldquo;Cost Optimization Is Crucial for Modern Data Management Programs,&rdquo; you&rsquo;ll learn how to apply leading practices across three main areas:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">People (skills) &mdash; review and revise existing roles and invest in new skill sets</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Practices (processes and architecture) &mdash; enforce standards to foster reuse and agility, implement process improvement using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and much more</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Technology &mdash; for instance, move to composable business architectures, reengineer systems in the cloud (data and apps), and explore open-source options.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
DataStax Astra DB, our cloud-native database-as-a-service, is designed for operational flexibility and low TCO. It can be deployed on any cloud, it scales up and down in response to changing workload requirements, and it features a pay-per-use pricing model that minimizes your initial investment.&nbsp;
