What We Are Hearing From You

Configuration & Compliance Performance & Capacity

“I need a more integrated, simpler approach to ensure the performance,

capacity, and health of our virtual environment”

“In the past we’ve just over-provisioned as that was the safest

way. But now management is asking for usage reports and capacity plans before they allow us to buy more infrastructure.”

“We are constantly preparing for our

responding to an audit. We basically shut down

normal IT Ops, other than emergencies,

during each quarterly audit period.”

“We don’t really have good visibility with

our servers – we don’t know what patches have been applied

or when. It would be great to know what percentage we are

patched each week.”

Performance Analytics Learning Approach

My brain understands the health of my body. Should I do anything?

Your Brain Understands Context:

§  If my heart rate and temperature are increasing I should go to the hospital

§  If I’m tired, rest more

§  If I tire easily, start exercising!

Heart Rate Respiration Temperature

Muscular Skeletal Cardio Vascular

Monitoring UserEx Metrics Monitoring Business Metrics

Monitoring App Layer Metric – JVM, DB Connections, etc.

Monitoring Server O/S Metrics – CPU, RAM, Disk, I/O, etc.

vCenter Operations understands the health of my enterprise by analyzing millions of measurements.

Should I do anything? vCenter Operations Understands Context:

§  Act based on urgency of emerging problems

§  Act based on real-time performance dashboards

§  Act based on long term correlations and trends

Virtualizing Exchange 2010

§ Option 1:Virtualizing with DAG §  Better availability for higher SLAs

§  VMware HA reduces time that database is unprotected in case of DAG failover (VMware HA, vMotion and DRS fully supported with Exchange DAG)

§  Reduce overall costs with server consolidation

§ Option 2: Virtualizing without DAG §  Replace expensive DAG

implementation with VMware App-Aware HA based on SLA requirements

Virtualize Oracle

Licensing Hosts Licensing Clusters

§  Partially licensed clusters •  DRS Host Affinity to restrict VM

mobility to licensed hosts only

•  Oracle has no official stance on such clustering technologies

§  Fully licensed clusters •  Dedicated clusters when lots of

Oracle across test/dev/prod

•  Load as many VMs as you wish, with full VM mobility

§ Partially Licensed Hosts

• VMware’s CPU Pinning is considered ‘soft-partitioning’ and not valid for Oracle licensing

§ Fully Licensed Hosts

• All the CPUs in the host must be fully licensed

• Once fully-licensed, run as many VMs as you wish

For Oracle Applications licensed per User – no licensing impact For Oracle Databases licensed per CPU – license consolidation opportunity

Note: Verify compliance with respective software vendors

47

Oracle Licensing: Which Edition?

§  For all of the below situations: License FULL machine

§  Remember the different functionality (but do you NEED RAC?)

§  Once “fully licensed” you can deploy unlimited VMs!

STANDARD EDITION ONE -Licensed by SOCKET

-Limited to TWO SOCKETS

STANDARD EDITION -Licensed by SOCKET

-Limited to FOUR SOCKETS)

ENTERPRISE EDITION -Licensed by CORE

Apply x86 factor of 0.5 to cores

Pricing per Oracle Technology Global Price List, October 20, 2011

$11,600

$70,000

$380,000

48

Processor Core Factors

§  This applies to Enterprise Edition only §  In our (x86) space it is currently simple

•  Each core has a factor of 0.5: •  4 core chip – 0.5 x 4 = 2 licenses •  8 core chip – 0.5 x 8 = 4 licenses

§  Hardware very important •  License at $22,500/core – if a core is 10% faster then that core is worth $2,250

•  Big play for large memory footprints? (vSphere 5 J ) • Check benchmarks – Spec, RPE etc..

51

So, how do I maximize the value of virtualizing?

§  Today’s multicore systems make SE1 very attractive and Virtualization could render RAC redundant?

§  Realistically most clients still need Enterprise Edition • Consolidate to fewer larger boxes. You will get an economy of scale and it is

likely your workloads will meld together

•  Squeeze as much workload as you can onto your Oracle cluster – the benefits could be mind boggling (1 fewer 64 core node = $1.5m saving on list price)

• Use management tools (VC Operations) to drive up utilization

• Use vSphere control surfaces to guarantee SLAs.

52

Business Critical Application (BCA) Support Statements

§ Oracle’s official support policy (document ID #249212.1) states they will support Oracle Databases, applications & middleware virtualized on VMware. If Oracle won’t, vmware will: www.vmware.com/support/policies/oracle-support.html

§  SAP and IBM have clear support statements for running their

software on VMware

§ Microsoft fully supports all leading applications on VMware (and

recently extended support for Exchange 2010 DAG)

53

Officially Supported by Oracle (MyOracleSupport note 249212.1)

“Oracle will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running

on VMware”

www.vmware.com/support/policies/oracle-support.html

•  Oracle RAC supported since Nov 2010 •  VMware does not modify native OS •  Not a single reported incident of vSphere causing an

issue in the Oracle database or application •  VMware offers full support and total ownership

Oracle Certification and Support for VMware

Not Directly Certified (Oracle Does Not Certify Infrastructure)

•  Oracle does not certify anything below the OS. Eg: Dell, HP, IBM hardware •  Run an OS certified by both Oracle and VMware for confidence at every level

of the stack
