Future development will continue to focus on key pains

Meeting security & regulatory requirements

Minimizing downtime

Ease of embeddability

Improved application development environment

Improving DBA productivity


Pain Point #1: Security & regulatory compliance

Federal/State/Country requirements for government contracts LSPP (B1), CAPP (C2) HIPPA/SOX/GLBA

Auditing capabilities Who can see what data and who has seen what data

System vulnerabilities Add additional encryption for bolstering data security


Pain Point #2: Minimizing downtime

Planned vs. unplanned outages Which takes greater time in your organization? For planned upgrades

Is it database vs. application upgrade?

Improving on long running operations Like HDR upgrade where whole backup is needed ER – even easier to deploy and manage, embedded applications

Faster recovery Has the effect of minimizing downtime System failure (transaction recovery) vs. media failure (backup/restore)

More tasks online (vs. offline) In place alters & space management


Pain Point #3: Ease of embeddability

Configurable footprint (choosing components)

Eliminate external software dependencies

Reducing configurable parameters

Easy and silent installs

Enhanced ER node deployment


Pain Point #4: Application development environment

SQL standards

Open up API’s for application development PHP, admin tasks, DRDA support

Integration with IDE’s .NET Visual Studio, Rational

4GL to EGL migration tool and integration with Rational Application Development Suite products for expanded application development capability

Migration tools for conversion from other database vendors


Pain Point #5: Increasing DBA productivity

Reduce manual intervention for: Choosing index Performance tuning Query drill down Update stats Monitoring disk usage for increasing size and reclaiming space Intelligent backup and restore selection Admin tools # of configurable parameters

Agenda




IDS v10.0 Overview


IDS v10.0 PerformanceBlazing OLTP performance for your mission-critical applications

Fully exploits hardware resources Dynamic Scalable Architecture

Hardened cost-based optimizer Easily handles mixed workloads

Does not require application changes as data volumes increase Partition data to increase performance Oracle requires additional Partition Option

feature, partitioning data and modifying the application

IDS v10.0 Enhancements

External optimizer directives Improves support of ISV applications

Configurable page size Improves performance of large keys Improves performance of large rows


IDS v10.0 ReliabilityEliminates costly downtime saving businesses time and money

IDS can be tuned online Add/remove system resources to handle load changes

Built-in utilities can validate and repair indexes without dropping

Rolling application upgrades with Enterprise Replication

IDS v10.0 Enhancements Online index creation and rebuild

Can reduce scheduled downtime by half


IDS v10.0 ScalabilityScales “without limits” in any direction to meet increasing workloads

Storage capacity Loading at 1 gigabyte per minute 250 years to reach IDS capacity

Linear scalability As resources on a system are doubled,

processing capacity should double (application overhead usually prevents 100% linear scalability)

Competitive products tested didn’t provide the performance or scalability of IDS

Number of users IDS is capable of handling thousands of

concurrent users.

deployment distributed across

1000s of sites

types of datano limit to new

data types

transactions 1000’s of concurrent

users

huge data volumes


Bigger Storage

The 2 GB limit on chunk size is too painful

So we’ve removed it New upper limit per chunk is 4 TB.

For 2 KB pages Could be doubled to 8 TB later

Good through about 2010.

And increased the number of chunks New upper limit is 32767

Could be doubled to 65535 later

The new upper limit on the size of an IDS instance is: 128 petabytes (128 * 1015 bytes)


Bigger Storage

How big is 128 PB? Very big! US Library of Congress holds about 10 TB printed material. 128 PB is about 12,800 times the material in the LOC. At current prices, it would cost about $3B to buy the disks.

Before mirroring or RAID is added in At a load rate of 1 TB per hour, it would take about 15 years to fill a 128

petabyte database.

VERY BIG!


IDS v10.0 SecurityMeets the demands of new regulatory and compliance requirements

Provides secure encrypted communications Client-Server Server-Server


Column-level encryption Helps support Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel

II, HIPAA

Secure environment Initialization ensures environment is

secure at startup

DataBlade registration restrictions Ensure DataBlades cannot be

registered by hostile individuals


IDS v10.0 ManageabilityLowers the cost of administration

Utilities Online backup High performance loader

Administrative support Fast deployment and upgrade Diagnostic tools

Scripting capabilities


Table-level point-in-time restore Can restore a single table or portion of a table

from a backup

Create/drop index online

Install improvements

Backup and restore enhancements


IDS v10.0 AvailabilityOffers industry-leading data availability options

High-Availability Data Replication (HDR)

Creates a duplicate copy of an IDS server

Useful for: Disaster Recovery Off-loading reports/queries

Secondary server can be local or remote

Enterprise Replication (ER)

Replicates data to any other IDS system on your network

Allows enterprise systems to feed departmental systems

Allows enterprise systems to feed regional or local systems

Allows operations across thousands of nodes


IDS v10.0 HDRHigh-Availability Data Replication for maximum availability

Two Active Machines

Primary Processes transactions Ships log entries to the other

machine

Secondary Cloned from the primary Receives and stores log entries from

the primary Re-applies the transactions Can be used for reporting

If primary fails, the secondary takes over

Primary

HDR

Secondary


IDS v10.0 ER Enterprise Replication for maximum enterprise synchronicity

Can replicate any portion of a database

Bi-directional replication

Supports complex topologies

Supports thousands of nodes

Supports WANs

Useful for departmental or hierarchical applications

Works transparently with High Availability Data Replication (HDR)


ER templates reduce administration Simplifies set up Speeds deployment

Re-Sync tables improves availability Repair a system where some replicated

changes failed

Alter table support Supports rolling upgrades of applications Not available with competitive products
