In this webinar, we will present a total cost of ownership (TCO) framework for database development and deployment. It can be faster and cheaper to develop and deploy applications on MongoDB, yielding both bottom-line benefits – lower developer and administrative costs – and topline advantages – it is easier and faster to evolve applications to meet changing business and market conditions.

2. Agenda
• Quick Intro. to MongoDB
• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Framework:
Upfront + Ongoing Costs
• Example Scenarios
• About 10gen

3. MongoDB Can Save You 70% or More
Developer/Ops Savings
• Ease of Use
• Agile development
• Less maintenance
Hardware Savings
• Commodity servers
• Internal storage (no SAN)
• Scale out, not up
DB Alternative
Software/Support Savings
• No upfront license
• Cost visibility for usage growth

5. Introduction to Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO)

6. Goal of TCO Analysis
• Goal
– Capture key costs associated with a
business, project, etc.
– Compare multiple scenarios or options
• Upfront and ongoing costs
• Assumed period of time

8. Upfront Costs

9. Initial Developer Effort
• Developer coding required to get application and data
Description store to work together
Key Considerations
Dynamic
JSON Ease of Use
Schemas
Cloud Ease of
Architecture Licensing
2X + more productive with MongoDB
9

10. Initial Administrative Effort
• Admin/s to install and configure software, cluster
Description machines, set up sharding, etc.
Key Considerations
Native Native
Few Settings
Replication Caching
Auto-
Sharding
10

11. Software Licenses
• All software related to the data store itself, as well as
Description management tasks like clustering, replication and
caching
Key Considerations
Per-Server vs. Per-
Core Pricing
Standard vs.
Enterprise
11

12. Server Hardware
• Servers required to run database (excludes storage)
Description • Driven mainly by number and type of processors and
RAM
Key Considerations
Scale-Out vs.
Cloud Computing
Scale-Up
Commodity Servers
12

13. Storage Hardware
• Storage required to store the data
Description • Varies depending on amount and type of storage
(e.g., internal vs. shared, HDD vs. SSD)
Key Considerations
Solid State Drives
Local Storage
(SSDs)
SAN
13

14. Ongoing Costs

15. Ongoing Developer Effort
• Coding needed to adapt data store to customer,
Description market and business needs
Key Considerations
Change
Add Fields
Schemas
Agile Dev. No Downtime
Developers get more done w/MongoDB
15

16. Ongoing Administrative Effort
• Admin. effort to keep data store healthy and running
Description (e.g., planning for downtime, upgrading SW and HW)
Key Considerations
DBAs Leverage Existing Skills
Native Replication à
HW Swaps,
OS Upgrades, etc.
Few Tasks
(e.g., manage Linux settings)
16

17. Software Maintenance and Support
• Maintenance: upgrades and bug fixes to software
Description • Support: on-call assistance for troubleshooting
technical problems with software
Key Considerations
MongoDB: Other RDBMS:
$4K per server per year 22% of License Fees
17

18. Hardware Maintenance and Support
• Maintenance: upgrades and bug fixes to firmware
Description and any software that comes with hardware
• Support: on-call assistance for troubleshooting HW
Key Considerations
10% of HW Costs
No SANs à Lower Storage
Maintenance Costs
18

19. Example Scenarios

20. These Are Examples
• Costs vary by use case
• Illustrative and directional
• Framework is a starting point
• Framework is technology-agnostic
