  1. Information Lifecycle Management for Oracle Apps Data Erik Jarlstrom Director of North American Pre-sales

  2. What does this have to do with Oracle Databases?

  3. Corporate Summary • Founded in 1989 • Over 2000 customers in 30 Countries • Committed to providing enterprise database archiving and test data management solutions • Reputation of high quality and reliable products • Partners with industry leading database and storage solution providers • Recognized by Gartner, Giga, and Meta as database archiving market leader

  4. Agenda • Database Growth and Impact • Strategy: Information Lifecycle Management • Active Archiving • Enterprise Database Archiving

  5. Database Growth Impacts IT Budgets “…databases will grow 30x during the next decade, or roughly 40% annually.” Source: Meta Group 2001 40% CAGR may be a conservative estimate! “With growth rates exceeding 125%, organizations face two basic options: continue to grow the infrastructure or develop processes to separate dormant data from active data.” Source: Meta Group 2003

  6. Oracle Applications Data Growth Example

  7. Related Symptoms • Application users complain their system is “slow” to: • Perform online account inquiries and financial period closeouts • Enter transactions and process payments • Post batches and generate reports • Process weekly/monthly/quarterly depreciation runs • Increasing operating costs • Higher hardware and software license and support costs • Longer development and test cycles • Labor intensive time and effort for system administrative tasks • Extended maintenance times for managing backup, recovery and cloning processes • Additional headcount required to adequately manage a larger environment

  8. Potential Solution: Ignore Database Growth …and continue to add • People • Processes • Technology …and continue to decrease • Performance • Availability • Time for other projects ProductionDatabase

  9. Traditional Approaches • Add More Capacity • Bottom line impact • Uncontrolled continuous cost • Institute rigorous database tuning • Does not directly address data growth • Reaches point of diminishing returns • Delete Data (i.e. Purge) • Legal and retention issues • Data may be needed for data warehousing • In-House Development • Complex undertaking • Application specific • Support / upgrade / maintenance / opportunity cost

  10. Acquisition of Data Heavy Access Disposal Rare Access Medium Access Strategy: Information Lifecycle Management • Understand data retention requirements • All data has a life cycle from acquisition to disposal • Define availability level requirements • At various stages, data has different: • Business value • Access requirements • Performance requirements • Implement storage strategy to meet availability requirements • Each stage should be stored on the appropriate type of storage • Segregate application data to support strategy • Data should be managed to match the business value

  12. Implement Storage Strategies to Meet Availability Requirements RDBMS and High-Concurrency Storage (RAID) RDBMS, File Systems, NAS, Optical Tape or Optical Storage

  13. Segregating Application Data to Support Storage Strategy ORDER_DATE > 01-JAN-2002 ORDER_DATE > 01-JAN-1998 & < 31-DEC-2001 ORDER_DATE < 31-DEC-1997

  14. Information Lifecycle ManagementArchiving Strategy “Off-LineArchive” “On-LineArchive” “Current” “History/Reporting” Path 1 Archive Archive ProductionDatabase Archive Database Tape Flat Files Archive Restore Restore Years 1 - 2 Years 3 - 5 Years 6 - 7 Years 8+ (Adjust timeframes to meet internal & statutory requirements)

  15. Archive Database Archive Files Production Database Archive Files Data Access (locate, browse, query, report) Solution: Active Archiving • Reduce amount of data in the application database • Remove obsolete or infrequently used data • Maintain “business context” of archived data • Archive relational subsets vs. entire files • Enable easy user access to archived information • View, research and restore as needed • Support Data & Storage Management Strategies Archive & Restore

  16. Example Active Archiving Policies

  17. Archiving Oracle Apps Data Archiving Historical Data Archive Database GL – Balances, Journals … AP – Payments, Invoices, Vendors… AR – Receipts, Invoices … FA – Depreciation, Adjustments Purchasing – POs, Reqs, OM – Orders, … INV - Transactions General Ledger Payables Production Database Receivables Assets Locate, Browse, Query, Report . . . Data Access

  18. Transparent Access – How?Responsibility-Driven Data Access

  19. Production Transparent Access - Forms

  20. Archive Transparent Access - Forms

  21. Archive & Production Transparent Access - Forms

  22. Production Transparent Access - Reports

  23. Archive Transparent Access - Reports

  24. Archive & Production Transparent Access - Reports

  25. Top Requirements for Enterprise Database Archiving • Extract subsets of related data to offload • Able to go beyond catalog-defined relationships • Selectively/relationally delete all or some archived data • Selectively/relationally restore • Access, browse, query archived data • Preserve business context of archived data • Comprehensive archive data management • Architecture for long term enterprise-wide strategy

  26. Challenge: Referential Complexity

  27. Manage Your Enterprise Data Smarter Test Smarter with Relational Tools Store Smarter with Active Archive Solutions Pre-Production (Test, Dev, Training, …) Production PeopleSoft ClarifyCRM Oracle Apps RelationalTools Archive for Servers Archive for DB2 Relationship Engine Legacy Oracle SQL Server DB2 UDB DB2 Sybase Informix
