There’s nothing worse than wasting money on unnecessary costs. In on-premises data estates, these costs appear as wasted person-hours waiting for inefficient analytics to complete, or troubleshooting jobs that have failed to execute as expected, or at all. They manifest as idle hardware waiting for urgent workloads to come in, ensuring sufficient spare capacity to run them amidst noisy neighbors and resource-hungry, lower-priority workloads.
