28. Consolidation at PaaS and IaaS Layers • Consolidate onto standard, shared and elastically scalable PaaS App App App PaaS • Standardized PaaS for all applications reduces heterogeneity, cost and complexity • Accelerated new application development • Cost savings from less hardware, power and data center space App App App vs. App App App • Software stack heterogeneity, cost and complexity persists • No administration (O&M) cost savings • Consolidate onto shared IaaS without standardization IaaS • Cost savings from less hardware, power and data center space

29. Rich service catalog Java Services Database Services Middleware Service Capabilities include Request scheduling Basic resource monitoring Chargeback information Quota monitoring Cloud APIs Restful APIs, submitted to DMTF DBaaS/MWaaS/JaaS SPARC Portal Application Self Service

30. Service Templates Building Blocks for PaaS/JaaS How to deploy a new service instance? Deployment Plan What bits to deploy? Enterprise Manager Catalog How to tailor the resource instance? Consolidation means moving multiple applications onto pooled or shared computing resources. You have a very strategic decision here. You can move onto shared, standardized platforms or shared infrastructure.

31. Setup Service CatalogCapture -> Publish to Catalog • Publish Service Template to Service Catalog • Service template can be of type database or schema • Includes database or schema based parameters, along with data. • Create Small/Medium/Large variants • Capture Database Provisioning Profiles • Capture database templates and schema artifacts • Optionally, capture data using

32. Database Monitoring • Additional capabilities include • Backup and Restore VM/Database • Oracle recommended (Weekly level 0, and daily level 1) • PIT recovery within last 24hrs • Basic resource monitoring • Start/Stop • Chargeback information • Charge trend, total $$, charge plan details, etc • Quota monitoring

33. Database Cloud RESTful APIs When using non-OVM infrastructure i.e. physical or other VM technologies, then we use Deployment Procedures (DPs) as our provisioning/orchestration mechanism. Think of the database deployment procedure as a wrapper on top of DBCA, where you can save configuration details for the database like memory, cpu, storage, and other init parameters.

34. Chargeback Reporting Chargeback Administrator Self-Service Portal User Line of Business User • Rollup based on LDAP hierarchy • Summary and Trending reports for Usage and Charge • Drilldowns • Integrate with BI Publisher • Generate Reports in variety of formats • Excel, Word, HTML, PowerPoint, PDF • Email or FTP reports • Charge Trend reports broken down by resource • Selectable detail levels • Charge Plan configuration
