Introduction
In the fast-evolving real estate industry, leveraging technology to optimize operations and control costs has become a necessity. With vast datasets—from property listings to financial records—real estate companies face challenges in managing and optimizing databases effectively. As cloud adoption grows, the need for cost estimation, cloud optimization, and operational efficiency becomes critical. Enteros, a leading provider of database performance management solutions, offers a Cloud FinOps and AIOps-powered platform to address these challenges.
This blog explores how Enteros empowers real estate companies to streamline their database operations, improve cost allocation, and maximize the efficiency of their cloud infrastructure.
The Role of Database Operations in Real Estate
The real estate industry generates massive amounts of data daily, such as:
- Property Listings: Millions of listings updated frequently.
- Transaction Data: Financial records, pricing history, and deals.
- Customer Data: Buyer, seller, and broker details.
- Market Analytics: Trends, forecasts, and pricing insights.
For real estate firms, ensuring smooth and fast access to this data is vital. Delayed or underperforming databases can lead to:
- Inefficient Transactions: Slower deal closures and customer frustration.
- Cost Overruns: Higher cloud usage costs due to unoptimized databases.
- Missed Opportunities: Delayed access to insights for decision-making.
Enteros’ Role in Database Optimization and Cloud FinOps
Enteros provides a comprehensive solution to real estate companies by focusing on the following key areas:
1. Database Performance Optimization
Managing and scaling databases is complex in real estate due to fluctuating demands (e.g., high traffic during property sales seasons). Enteros’ AIOps-driven platform leverages patented algorithms to:
- Analyze Performance Metrics: Identify and resolve slow-performing queries and workloads.
- Optimize Resource Utilization: Reduce bottlenecks and optimize CPU, memory, and storage usage.
- Enhance Scalability: Automatically adjust database resources to handle spikes in traffic without incurring excessive costs.
For real estate companies, this translates into:
- Faster transaction processing.
- Improved customer experience.
- Efficient utilization of database resources.
2. Cloud FinOps for Cost Estimation and Management
Real estate firms often use cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for database hosting. However, unmonitored resource usage can lead to unexpected costs. Enteros integrates Cloud FinOps principles to:
- Track Cost Allocation: Clearly map cloud database costs to specific business units or projects.
- Estimate Costs Proactively: Predict expenses based on usage trends and optimize budgets.
- Identify Wastage: Spot underutilized or idle cloud resources and recommend actions.
By integrating Cloud FinOps, real estate businesses can minimize cloud spend and ensure resources align with operational goals.
3. Advanced Anomaly Detection
Real estate databases must operate 24/7, but unexpected performance issues can arise. Enteros’ anomaly detection capabilities:
- Use machine learning to identify performance irregularities.
- Alert teams about issues before they impact customers or operations.
- Automate resolution steps to minimize downtime.
For example, if a query begins consuming excessive resources during peak hours, Enteros can flag the issue and provide recommendations to optimize query performance.
4. Cost Attribution for Better Decision-Making
Enteros provides granular visibility into cloud cost attribution, allowing real estate firms to:
- Allocate costs to projects, departments, or applications.
- Identify high-cost operations and find optimization opportunities.
- Streamline budgeting for database operations and IT infrastructure.
This enables leadership teams to make informed decisions about resource investments and operational priorities.
