What's inside
Why self-managed Oracle on Azure falls short: VM-based IOPS limits that force over-provisioning, hours-long streaming backups, and full-copy clones that consume 10x more storage
When Azure NetApp Files is the right fit for Oracle: shared NFS architectures, data warehouses over ~10 TiB, snapshot-based dev/test refreshes, and Azure VMware Solution
Where the infrastructure savings come from: consolidation and decoupled storage I/O cut compute costs by 53 percent, while independent capacity and performance scaling cut storage costs by 39 percent
How consolidation and built-in HA, DR and backup cut Oracle DB support costs by 57 percent and remove third-party backup and DR software entirely
