CHAPTER 2

THE BEST STORAGE FOR YOUR DATABASE

THE BEST STORAGE FOR YOUR DATABASEAs data grows and storage requirements increase, costs rise, infrastructures can become more complex, and application performance suffers. Oracle’s application engineered storage solutions offer efficient, high-performance platforms to help you get the most from Oracle Database deployments while maximizing efficiency, easing management, and achieving a lower TCO through

• Unique points of integration between Oracle storage and Oracle Database that

allow storage systems to run faster and automate storage tuning

• Innovative data reduction, data services, and storage consolidation capabilities

that increase storage efficiency

• Leading-edge management tools that make Oracle storage easier to deploy

and manage

PILLAR AXIOM 600Oracle’s Pillar Axiom 600 storage systems deliver

industry-leading SAN consolidation with unmatched

business-driven performance priority, capacity utilization,

ease of use, and extreme efficiency, helping you

• Ensure predictable performance

for each application when consolidating storage

with a unique Quality of Service architecture

CHAPTER 4

UNREACHABLE UNIQUE FEATURESOracle ZFS Storage Appliance and Pillar Axiom 600 storage systems offer unique capabilities that make them the ideal storage systems for Oracle Database.

HYBRID COLUMNAR COMPRESSIONOracle Database Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC) provides a robust set of features that dramatically reduce infrastructure costs, enable the highest levels of data compression, and provide users with significant performance improvements when querying historical data.

Using HCC in your data center can help you

• Compress historical data by 10x–50x

and shrink total capacity requirements

by 50 percent or more

• Increase application performance

by as much as 5x–8x when querying

historical data

• Dramatically reduce the cost of storing

and managing data

ORACLE AUTOMATIC DATA OPTIMIZATIONOracle Database 12c furthers the benefits of Hybrid Columnar Compression with the introduction of Automatic Data Optimization (ADO). ADO utilizes real-time data usage tracking to create heat maps that accurately determine whether data should be kept in high-performance active storage or can be migrated to lower cost storage and higher levels of compression. This streamlines management, saves end-user cycles, and ensures the optimal compression levels are implemented to speed queries and save valuable space.

shrink total capacity

requirements by

50% or more

THE BEST FOR BACKUP AND RECOVERY

7THE BEST FOR BACKUP AND RECOVERY

ORACLE INTELLIGENT STORAGE PROTOCOLAlso with Oracle Database 12c comes the ability to share detailed information about database data with the ZFS Storage Appliance in a manner that is unavailable to competing storage systems. This enables the storage to preconfigure itself specific to the incoming data, reducing tuning and manual management by 65 percent.

OISP is like a Bat Phone to the Mayor’soffice while everyone else is on rotary dial.Wikibon

QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) ARCHITECTUREThe Pillar Axiom 600 is an application-aware storage solution featuring Oracle’s patented Quality of Service technology. This enables users to specify the performance level for different applications based on business priority, and use multiple types of physical storage to optimize price/performance ratios.

CASE STUDY

POLK CASE STUDY

R.L. POLK & CO.CUSTOMERS SAY

Oracle Hybrid Columnar Compression’s

compatibility with ZFS Storage Appliance

was an important factor in our decision

process. Without Oracle’s compression

capabilities, we would have had to

uncompress every database to transfer it

to the test environment—a process that

would be extremely time-consuming and

not possible in some instances due to the

size of the database.

Doug Miller, Director, Database Development and Support, R.L. Polk & Co.

R.L. Polk & Co. (Polk) is a leader in automotive information and marketing solutions. The company collects and interprets data, and provides business expertise to help its customers understand their market position, identify trends, build brand loyalty, win new business—and gain competitive advantage.

Looking to continually expand services and develop new applications for its clients, Polk wanted to improve the performance of its development and testing centers to better replicate production conditions and accelerate time to deployment. Polk selected Oracle’s ZFS Storage 7420 to back up and restore an entire database, test full-scale data, and identify issues more quickly and more accurately.
