Introduc)on  

“Oracle enjoys a commanding lead in the business of managing information”

Larry Ellison

“We pride ourselves on being very innovative in the database

business. We’re five to ten years ahead of Microsoft and IBM”

Andy Mendelsohn

•  Are Larry and Andy Right?

•  How did Oracle achieve such an advantage?

•  What is Oracle doing to extend this advantage?

•  What does it mean for you?

Whether You Are Ahead or Not Depends Entirely on What the Goal Is…

Oracle’s  Mission  is  to  deliver  con4nuous  compe44ve  advantage  to  our  customers

“The best way to get good information is to put it all

in one place”

Larry Ellison

Oracle Corporation has worked for more than thirty years to ensure the Oracle Database is the best place to store any kind of data for any purpose:

–  Highest performance

–  Strongest security

–  Lowest total cost of ownership

Oracle’s Strategy for Information Mgt

Oracle has shown an enduring determination to address the most difficult challenges in information management:

1.  Mixed Workloads

2.  Universal Data Management

3.  Economies of Scale

Oracle – Pursuing a Different Goal

Competitors Are Headed Elsewhere •  Content to separate OLTP and DSS workloads

•  Content to manage different types of data differently

•  Content for database to run no better than the platform you put it on

•  Content to evolve each layer of the architecture separately

Oracle’s  Strategy  for    Informa)on  Management  

Oracle’s Strategy for Information Mgt

•  Mixed Workloads

•  Universal Data Management

•  Economies of Scale

Mixed Workloads •  Multi-Version, Read-Consistent Concurrency Model

–  Introduced in Oracle 4, Enhanced in Oracle 5, Default in Oracle 6

•  Oracle Real Application Clusters –  Introduced in Oracle9i, Enhanced in Oracle 10g & 11g

•  Resource Manager, Automatic Workload Repository –  Introduced in Oracle 10g, Enhanced in Oracle 11g

•  In-Memory Parallel Query –  Introduced in Oracle 11g

accurate  report  

•  Oracle’s Multi-Version, Read Consistent Concurrency Model –  Readers never block writers –  Writers never block readers –  Queries are always consistent and

auditable –  No deadlocks –  Introduced in Oracle V4 (1982) –  DB2,SQL Server, Teradata must lock

rows for both reads and writes to ensure consistency

“Using  Oracle  Database  11g  and  SecureFiles  we  saw  performance  gains  of  over  70%  when  loading  and  unloading  photos  and  videos”  

Marcel  Kratochvil,  CTO  Pic4on  

•  Oracle Parallel Server –  Introduced in Oracle6, Enhanced in Oracle 7 & Oracle 8

•  Oracle Real Application Clusters –  Introduced in Oracle9i, Enhanced in Oracle 10g & 11g

•  Oracle Automatic Storage Management –  Introduced in Oracle10g, Enhanced in Oracle11g

•  Oracle Exadata Database Machine –  Introduced with Oracle 11g Release 1, Enhanced in Release 2

Economies of Scale

•  Massively consolidated, mission critical database environments must cost less and imply less risk than distributed, fragmented systems

•  This has never been true before

•  A fundamental shift in I.T. architecture is taking place

•  A shift made possible by Enterprise Grid Computing

Exadata Overview

Database  Grid  • 8  compute  servers  (1U)  

• 64  Intel  cores  • 576  GB  RAM  

Storage  Grid  • 14  storage  servers  (2U)  

• 112  Intel  cores  in  storage  • 100  TB  SAS    disk,  or  336  TB  SATA  disk  

• 5  TB  PCI  Flash  • Data  mirrored  across  storage  servers  

Scaleable  Grid  of  industry  standard  servers  for  Compute  and  Storage    

•  Eliminates  long-­‐standing  tradeoff  between  Scalability,  Availability,  Cost  

InfiniBand  Network  •  3  36-­‐port  40Gb/s  switches  •  Unified  Net-­‐  servers  &  storage  •  324  FC  Ports  equivalent

Deploy    in  Days,  Not    Months  

Standardized and Simple to Deploy

•  Custom systems do not achieve full performance –  Component imbalance, misconfiguration, bottlenecks

•  Exadata is engineered and optimized end-to-end –  Double-digit GB/sec transfers from disk to database

•  Disk, flash, controller, bus, HBA, network, CPUs, etc –  DB libraries optimized with firmware, drivers, OS, network –  Years of tuning

–  No bottlenecks

•  Move I/T talent to higher value business needs –  Not designing, tuning, maintaining hardware configurations
