Abstract

Computing systems have become more complex and there is a plethora of systems in heterogeneous and autonomous platforms, from mainframes to mobile devices, which need to interoperate and lack effective management. This complexity has demanded huge investments to enable these systems to work properly. It is necessary to invest on software acquisition and installation: management, administration, and update. These costs compound the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which tends to increase exponentially according to the software complexity. Information Technology (IT) focuses mainly on providing information services in order to achieve simplicity, agility, large access to information, and competitivity. Database Management Systems (DBMS) are part of the IT infrastructure in large, medium, and even small enterprises.
