How is BDB different than Azure, AWS, or GCP?

At a very high level, the above 3 are Cloud Offerings that have Cloud Servers (Hardware Farms), an entire Suite of Business Intelligence (Ingestion, Curation, AI/ML, Visualization, etc.) Software offered as Pay as Use Services, Data Lake (or Data Lake Houses) [Data Storage]. They are strong in Cloud; they do give customers on-premises services but those are at a very high price point. They try to tie enterprises to their ecosystem and after a certain point of time or maturity, their TCO is so high that most businesses feel cost pressures.

BDB is a suite of Business Intelligence Offering as a Single Platform that charges in a much more Predictable or Controlled way and gives the Flexibility required for the Enterprises to build their Data Platform.

BDB can be installed On-Premises & in Cloud (SaaS as well as Private Cloud) OR Hybrid (Cloud or On-Premises mode together). Just by using BDB as the BI Software, Customers can think of reducing TCO by 35-40% by implementing the following steps -

• Sizing and Architectural blueprint created by BDB’s Solution Architects, DevOps Architects.

• The platform is truly integrable and based on Open Source where Service Costs are not high & skills that are comparatively easy to learn. BDB provides great support at an affordable cost.

• Unique Licensing – the overall cost of BDBs licenses is quite less compared to anyone in the world (end-to-end flow as shown in Figure 1 below).

• Speed of Deployment – Due to its Unified Nature, technical teams can deliver faster.

• Low Maintenance Cost - production environment doesn’t require heavy maintenance & enhancements teams (generally 15-20% of the team that has deployed and built the use cases).

• Feature Rich Platform – The document describes all its features as released in the 7.5.1 version.

• Applicability to Industry – The current document focuses on a Manufacturing Unit.

• Let’s try to see the direct out-of-box features applicability to the requirements of a Manufacturing unit. (Utility Sector – Power Generation).
