  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?

  6. EMC Virtual Infrastructure for Oracle 11g

  7. Hardware and Software Components

  8. EMC Symmetrix—The World’s Most Trusted Storage Platform #1 in high-end external RAID (IDC, March 2009*) • Tiered storage optimization • Fully automated storage tiering, mobility, and management capabilities • Lowest total cost of ownership • Reduce costs and deliver higher service levels via scale-out and tiering • Information availability • Most advanced and widely deployed business continuity platform • Simplified management and operations • Simplified storage allocation, resource management, and tiering • Application integration • Industry’s most comprehensive Proven Solutions * EMC analysis based on IDC product-line estimates

  9. EMC Symmetrix Value with VMware • Consolidation for VMware-stored data with Symmetrix • Nondisruptive, transparent movement of data between tiers • Provides common management layer across all VMware resources • Single processes for each activity consistently applied across VMware stored data • Symmetrix business continuity and disaster restart • EMC TimeFinder local replication point-in-time operations • EMC SRDF remote replication of business- and mission-critical data • EMC Open Replicator for Symmetrix for data vaulting and/or data migration • EMC Storage Viewer Plug-in for VMware vCenter Server • Provides integrated view of storage in virtual environment • Storage array discovery from a VMware environment • Display path management information • E-Lab proven • Significant investment in ensuring Symmetrix interoperability with VMware ESX server and vSphere

  10. PowerPath/VE PSA Plugin PowerPath/VE for vSphere • Enhanced path management capabilities • Advanced multipathing • Dynamic load-balancing • Automaticfailover

  11. EMC Storage Viewer for vSphere Client • EMC Storage tab • EMC storage-specific information • Datastores holding virtual disk • LUNs presented views • Storage mapping • SCSI targets • Type of storage • Array type

  12. Use Case Testing • VMware Converter P2V • VMware RDM vs. VMFS comparison • VMware VMotion • VMware High Availability (HA) • Symmetrix VMAX Virtual LUN

  13. VMware vCenter Converter • Physical-to-virtual migrations • Live migrations by using hot cloning • Offline migrations by using cold cloning

  14. 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 KBps 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 VMFS RDM Disk Performance 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Minutes Comparison between VMware RDM and VMFS for Oracle 11g Databases • Transactions per minute • ESX server CPU utilization • Database transactions response times

  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
