Solution Description
Challenge
Oracle database and application environments require maximum performance and availability while allowing the flexibility to rapidly provision new servers in production and test or development environments. Maximizing performance and scalability in a physical environment requires excess hardware provisioning, constant database turning, and downtime as new servers and storage are provisioned.
Technology Solution
EMC Solutions for Virtualizing Oracle on VMware provide a consolidated, virtualized server and storage infrastructure for your Oracle database and application environments. Organizations can consolidate production, test, and development servers, enabling higher server and storage utilization and optimized performance and cost savings.
Combining EMC Replication Manager with VMware vSphere and VMware virtual machine (VM) templates enable provisioning of new servers and storage within minutes and with zero downtime. Additionally, VMware vCenter Server, together with EMC Virtual Storage Integrator (VSI), provides a single interface for virtualization and storage management.
Operating an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) database in VMware environment improves operational agility and response to both vertical and horizontal scaling needs. Oracle RAC 11g is designed to be fault-tolerant and to provide real-time high availability (HA) with continuous database uptime. The combination of Oracle RAC 11g and VMware vSphere provides HA at both virtual and physical levels.
Furthermore, EMC fully automated storage tiering with virtual pools (FAST VP) software puts the right Oracle data in the right place at the right time to improve performance and reduce costs in tiered environments.
