What Can You Do in 44 Seconds?
Dave Krenik
44 seconds. Depending on your perspective, 44 seconds can feel like an eternity or seem to speed by in an instant. For example:
- In 2016, 44 seconds was all Texas A&M needed to put together the biggest last-minute comeback in NCAA Division I history. To Northern Iowa, those last 44 seconds were an eternity.
- When U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was asked about then Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore, those 44 seconds lasted a loooong time…
- 44 seconds is all Leah Shutkever took to set the Guinness World Record for a woman eating a burrito.
- At the risk of sounding morose, according to the Independent, one person dies every 44 seconds during the second week of January in the UK.
- Also from the UK, and much more exciting, Jaguar's XJR575 can hit 186 MPH in just 44 seconds.
Let’s get a little nerdy now. Perhaps not quite as exciting as taking a Jaguar to its limits, but still of keen interest to Oracle DBAs, is that NetApp enables you to provision a complete Oracle database in just 44 seconds. Considering that many companies take weeks to provision needed capacity for additional databases, 44 seconds is a relative blink of an eye.
Shaving weeks or even months off of time to production can mean an effective competitive advantage. As the rate of change continues to accelerate, it’s imperative for businesses to improve their agility so they can respond quickly to changes in demand. To see how NetApp can help you accelerate your business, watch this brief video. It lasts just a bit longer than 44 seconds. Be sure to see how else NetApp can help reap more value from your Oracle environment and check us out here.
