Database Edition for Sybase Sales Presentation
Market Drivers • DBAs are facing immense time pressure in an environment with ever-increasing data • Continuous availability (24x7) of mission-critical Sybase databases • Faster access to data – Performance!! • Easier management of increasing data • Data integrity – High availability
VCS Agent for Oracle VERITAS Solution:Database Edition for Sybase Sybase Database Edition for Oracle HA Edition Building Blocks Volume Manager Storage Administrator VERITAS File System with (Cached) Quick I/O VERITAS Volume Manager
Product Positioning • VERITAS Database Edition for Sybase offers raw device performance with file system manageability. • Offers equal to raw performance and for high-memory systems even greater performance • Offers ease of management of file systems • Increases availability of Sybase dataservers
Key Features • VxFS with Quick I/O delivers raw disk performance and ease of file system administration • Equal or better OLTP throughput • Ease-of-use is provided with a Java-based Storage Administrator GUI • Visual configuration from a single console • HA Edition provides automatic monitoring and recovery of Sybase application
Raw I/O Performance withEase of File System Management • Unique, total storage foundation solution to deliver the best of both worlds Database Editionfor Sybase Raw Disks Conventional File Systems Advantages Disadvantages Advantages Disadvantages • Manageability • “Invisible” • locations for • segments • Difficult to • grow • segments • Performance • Lower database • throughput • (30-90% of • raw disk) • Higher CPU • overhead • Data IntegrityPotential data loss • Manageability • Segment • organization • System-wide • backup and • restore • policies • Easy to create • and add devicesfor Sybase • Performance • Best OLTP performance • Data • Reliability • No potential for data loss with data written to • disks directly
Quick I/O raw device regular file Quick I/O for Databases • Breakthrough VERITAS File System interface technology • Presents regular VERITAS File System files to Oracle as raw character devices • Allows parallel updates to database files for increased throughput • Takes advantage of kernel async I/O (Solaris’ KAIO) • Sybase handles locking for data integrity • Eliminates traditional UNIX file system overhead RDBMS Server
OLTP Benchmark Results • Quick I/O and raw disk I/O produce equal performance for OLTP benchmark • Derived from TPC-C - mix of read-only and update-intensive transactions in order-entry environments • All configurations • include VERITAS • Volume Manager. • Test configuration • included: • Sun Ultra Enterprise • 4000 (4 CPUs; • 512 MG of RAM) • Solaris 2.5.1 • VERITAS Database • Edition 1.2 for Sybase • Sybase ASE 11.5.1 • TPC-0C scale factor • of 100
Cached Quick I/O Overview • Implemented as a buffered read, direct write solution • Retains data reliability advantage of direct write • Gains read-ahead at the File System and memory-to-memory copy performance advantage • Easy online management to turn Cache on/off for Quick I/O files • Like Quick I/O, enabled on a per-file basis • Multiple database instances can co-exist with selective caching for specific datafiles
VERITAS Storage Administrator • Simplifies Management • Allows one-step graphical execution of common configuration management steps
Database Edition/HAVERITAS Cluster Server • Sophisticated availability configuration management • Clustered HA solution allowing 2-32 server scalability • 1:1, Any:1 and 1:Any policy-based failover • Application level cascading failover • Fast Kernel-to-Kernel communication & failover • Certified 3rd party support for SCSI, SAN & NAS storage • Centralized Cluster Manager console for HP-UX, Solaris and Windows NT
Key Selling Points • Performance • Database Edition Performance achieves at least equal to Raw Device Performance • OLTP benchmark results (TPC-C derived) • Manageability • Even new DBAs can manage Sybase with when the Edition is installed • High Availability • Applications keep running when servers fail
Supported Platforms • Solaris 2.6, 7, 8 • Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 11.5.2, 11.9.2, 11.9.3, and 12.0 • SYBASE CERTIFIED
Summary • Database Edition for Sybase enables businesses to meet their top database priorities: • Optimal performance • Manageability • High data and database availability
Business without interruption. Thank you!
