4. Oracle11g Oracle10g Oracle9i Business Challenge Separate infrastructure Separate infrastructures lead to higher costs, lower ROI on assets, and increased environment complexity • Lower server and storage utilization • Difficulty meeting service levels • Maintaining and managing separate environments • Provisioning inefficiencies • Inconsistent data protection strategies

5. Match native performance even in consolidation scenarios • 95%+ Oracle instances match native performance on VMware Performance Reduce hardware costs • Consolidate servers DB Consolidation Provision databases on demand • Minutes to provision DB On Demand Increase application quality of service • Scale dynamically • Built-in high availability and simple disaster recovery Quality of Service Why Run Oracle Databases on Symmetrix VMAX with VMware vSphere?

15. VMotion Testing with Oracle 11g Database • Impact of VMotion migration on user transactions • ESX server CPU utilization • Documented migration steps • Under load, CPU usage increased on the primary ESX server during migration

16. VMware HA Testing with Oracle 11g • Physical server failure—automatic failover • Automated Oracle database startup and availability • Documented recovery steps • Time from init 0 command to database startup—4 minutes 20 seconds • Time from ESX server shutdown to Oracle database startup—2 minutes

17. EMC Symmetrix VMAX Virtual LUN Technology • LUN migration wizard simplifies the setup for migrations • Allows users seamlessly migrate Oracle database data between LUNs within the array • Virtual LUN migrations take place within the storage array • Configuration • 18 LUNs were allocated to the virtual machine • Nondisruptively moves storage from RAID 1 to RAID 6

18. Conclusions What did the use case illustrate and how can it help you? ServerConsolidation • Reduction of cost—server consolidation • Multiple Oracle database environments consolidated into a two-node VMware cluster • Optimization of hardware means decreased hardware power, cooling, and licensing costs • Ease of application deployment • Quickly convert from physical to virtual infrastructure using: • VMware vCenter Converter • EMC SAN management tools • Decouple application/database from physical infrastructure ApplicationDeployment

19. Conclusions Continued HighAvailability • High availability—reducing data center downtime with VMware VMotion and VMware HA • VMotion: Planned downtime—eliminate or greatly reduce at lower cost • HA: Unplanned downtime—reduce by implementing HA across the virtualized cluster • Storage efficiencies—increased flexibility • Concise building block approach to storage design • Outlined: • Number of spindles • RAID types • Volume management options such as RDM and VMFS • How to implement RAID group layout and LUN sizes StorageEfficiencies
