Today’s World Data is stuck in silos –Lots of individual databases –Lots of separate schemas to manage DBAs are still specialized –Last specialized IT profession –Primarily focus on minutia Increasing push to improve IT efficiency –Off shoring/outsourcing –Reducing IT complexity

Drivers for the Future Organizations want better access to their data –Better BI –More data portability The data infrastructure is more complicated –Virtual Machines –Clustering –Replication The data management is more complicated –Sarbanes -Oxley, HIPAA, SB1386, FDA 21 CFR Part 11

The Crush in the Middle DBAs are asked to –Know more –Do more –Be more business-focused At the same time: –Manage more databases –Keep headcount down –Get projects done faster

So What’s to be Done? The role of a DBA must change –More focused on big picture –Reduce “small picture” activities Create process –Less worrying about what’s happening to systems –More effective delegation Reduce manual interaction with databases –Tools –Scripts –Let software do the work Drive Predictability

Why Database Automation? Automation –Encourages standardization –Forces the creation of processes –Drives predictability What can you automate? –Provisioning –Patching –Replication/Failover –Anything you do more than once
