Solution Description
Challenge
Oracle database and application server environments require maximum availability and performance while allowing the flexibility to rapidly provision new servers in production and test and development environments. Maximizing performance and availability in a physical environment requires excess hardware provisioning and involves downtime when provisioning new servers and storage.
Technology Solution
EMC VNX unified storage with VMware provides a consolidated, virtualized server and storage infrastructure for all your Oracle environments. Consolidate production database and application, test, and development servers for higher server and storage utilization, optimized performance, and the ability to provision new servers and storage within minutes and with zero downtime.
EMC fully automated storage tiering (FAST) cache monitors incoming Oracle input/output (I/O) for access frequency and automatically copies frequently accessed data from the back-end drives into the cache. Once data is no longer being accessed it’s automatically migrated to lower-cost online storage.
Figure 1. EMC VNX and FAST Cache Architecture
Features
- EMC VNX unifies Oracle database, application servers, and test and development environments
- VMware ESX Server and VMware virtual machine (VM) templates enable seamless provisioning of new Oracle server resources in production or test and development
Results
- EMC FAST cache delivers 2 times the transactions per minute (TPM) for physical or virtual Oracle environments
- EMC FAST cache delivers an over 75 percent faster response time for physical or virtual Oracle environments
- EMC fully automated storage tiering with virtual pools (FAST VP) enables 80 percent faster storage tiering of virtual Oracle environments with zero downtime
