  4. A Time for Partnership • Oracle software on Windows Server Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure • Oracle license mobility to Microsoft Azure • Microsoft offers pay-as-you-go licenses for select Oracle software • Java fully supported in Microsoft Azure • Oracle offers Oracle Linux on Microsoft Azure • Azure is the only fully supported and properly-licensed public cloud environment to deploy the Oracle stack and the only third-party virtualization platform certified by Oracle

  5. Oracle software certified on Windows Server is supported on Azure! • Including: • Java 6 and Java 7 • Oracle WebLogic Server • Oracle Database • Oracle Linux • Oracle Fusion Middleware Note: Refer MOS Note 1563794.1  Certified Software on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Source: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/cloud/faq-1963009.html

  6. Customer Benefits Using Microsoft Azure • Establishing “disposable” Dev/Test environments. – You can create a Dev/Test environment that you use to truly experiment without putting your internal environments at risk. • Using Microsoft’s BI Suite to Analyze Oracle Data – With the Oracle data in Azure it becomes easy to create dashboards and other types of visualizations quickly. • Bursts of Scalability – If you need large amounts of RAM or processing power to run a process on your data, you can scale for a short period of time and then reduce the server specs back to its normal operational requirement.

  8. Options for Licensing Oracle on Azure • Bring your own license, build your own VM.Start a Windows Server or Oracle Linux virtual machine; install and configure the additional Oracle software yourself. • Bring your own license, use a pre-configured VM.Oracle offers pre-configured Oracle Linux images with Oracle Database and/or Oracle WebLogic Server to make it simpler for you to get started. • Use a license-included VM image.Microsoft provides pre-configured, Windows Server based VM images that include licenses for Oracle Database and/or Oracle WebLogic Server, and images that include the Java Development Kit.

  9. Licensing Considerations: Bring Your Own, or License-Included? • What will be the duration of usage? Frequency? • Do you already own excess Oracle licenses? • The prices in the chart are US List! Oracle discounts to customers vary widely. • Some ‘optional’ features may not be available in licensed-included VMs • Azure support costs are per customer, whereas Oracle support is per license.

  10. Good Fits for License Included • Development/Test environments • Backup and disaster recovery • Deployments that have spiky or sporadic use patterns • Small or remote production deployments • Proof of concept / proof of feasibility study

  11. Good Fits for BYOL • Already own excess licenses • Deployments with heavy and consistent use patterns • Migrate off unsupported hypervisors

  14. Cloud Application Foundation Complete & Integrated Modern Cloud Infrastructure On Premise Traffic Director/Web Tier WebLogic Server Coherence Tuxedo Virtual Assembly Builder Deployment Choices Cloud Application Foundation Microsoft Azure Cloud

  15. WebLogic Server on Azure • Microsoft/Oracle Partnership announced June 2013 • Embrace cloud/choice • Certifications on Hyper-V and Azure • Choose your infrastructure: • On-premise hardware, on-premise hypervisor • Public cloud (Azure) • Leverage Virtual Machine Images, choose your guest operating system • BYOL or purchase from Microsoft • Deploy apps of your choice: • Custom Java applications, packaged applications • Same WebLogic no matter where you deploy Java Applications WebLogic Server Oracle Database 12c

  16. Demos (WebLogic on Azure)

  17. Key Considerations: WebLogic Server Considerations: • JDKs in Azure Oracle images are 64-bit • Hybrid cloud for Java apps with Oracle DB (app server/web tiers in Azure, DB on prem) • Dynamic clusters (WLS 12c) for easy provisioning/mgmt • Easily grow WebLogic cluster by capturing/deploying from a snapshot of your managed VM • Automate creating/deploying managed VMs for WebLogic clusters with PowerShell/azure-cli & WLST • Virtual Networking/subnets for multi-tier architecture & VPN for on-prem datacenter connectivity • Integration with other Azure services (mobile services, message queues, etc) for net new or re-architected apps Caution: • UDP multicasting not supported, recommend WLS cluster size to be kept static at <=10 managed servers • IPv6 support in WLS not applicable to Azure • Azure cannot load balance multiple instances of WebLogic servers in a single VM

  19. Infrastructure Scenarios: Opportunities Move running Virtual Instances from Customer to any Hyper-V Implementations Convert Physical Servers or Virtual Machines running Oracle to run on Hyper-V using Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 Move Virtual Instances from Hyper-V to Azure IaaS Hyper-V Hyper-V Hyper-V 1 2 3 V2V P2V Azure IaaS P2V Live Migration Move Physical Server Migrate VMware Hosted Hyper-V Amazon Customer Host

  20. New Cloud Deployment Options Extend Windows Server: Virtualize Oracle app and Database deployments Migrate off unsupported hypervisors and standardize on Hyper-V Use System Center for “single pane of glass” management of Oracle workloads on Windows across private, hybrid, and public cloud deployments PUBLIC CLOUDwithAzure PRIVATE CLOUDwithWindows Server Hyper-V Perform dev & test in the cloud for apps and databases Extend datacenter capacity by scaling out the Oracle WebLogic tier of apps Instantly spin up VMs with Oracle software pre-installed zzzz

  21. Develop, test, run your apps Test and development on-premises Limited hardware budget Limited software licensing Resource contention with VMs Compromised developer agility Realistic scale tests often challenging IT Admin Developers Use VMs Your Datacenter Provision VMs VMs in test/dev environment

  22. Develop, test, run your apps Developers IT Admin Use VMs Provision VMs Test and development using Azure Manage environment Cost effective (pay for what you use) Improved developer agility with platform services Ready to use gallery of images Ship tested in realistic scale scenarios Use existing development tools & languages Access on-premise resources if necessary

  23. Key Considerations: Oracle Database Considerations: • Recommended DB size <10GB for data on System Disk • Attach disk(s) for flexibility and improved performance • Standalone Oracle DB, Data Guard, and GoldenGate available • Configure & capture a customized image or deploy your own for rapid provisioning and automation • Consider Virtual Networking to capture an IP & VPN for connectivity to on-premise datacenter • Use special offers for MSDN subscribers for Dev/test on Azure Caution: • Oracle Database clustering (RAC for Oracle DB) is not currently supported • Current disk limit ~500IOps max per disk (non-striped)

  24. Demos (Oracle and .NET)

  25. Read-Only • Multiple disk to VM (8) • Split them between more than one storage pool • Then presented to ASM as two volumes • host cache off • concurrency didn’t help • Far superior over the other considered possibilities • 1 storage pool with 8 disks > no storage pools or 1 storage pool • Theory: storage pools already manage their own caching and concurrency in a very effective way, so host cache is unnecessary.

  26. All Other Scenarios • Attach multiple disks • presenting those disks to ASM directly. • Not using storage pools • Concurrency didn’t make a noticeable difference in either of the above approaches. • The host cache was OFF in both.

We will be providing a fully open and unconstrained Java environment – with open choice of third-party stacks – for developers and essential applications deployed on Azure.” Scott Sellers, Azul Systems President and CEO

  30. A few of our Java on Azure customers • HPC middleware (case study) • Shorten sales cycle by 70%, increase revenue • Java on Linux + Postgres • Strategic alignment w/ MS • Moved away from AWS / EC2 because of Windows skillset • SQL Azure • BI & Analytics extension • Fast time to market, flexible development & scale • Java / Tomcat + Jiffy/Solr • Time pressure (3 mo) • Table storage & Cloud Services / PaaS • Call center solution • Scale, management & efficiency + heterogeneity • Java EE / JBoss • 3-day Azure lab • Looked at Google / Amazon • SQL Azure Speed Skills Scale

  31. How Does Support Work?

  32. “For our customers, there is very little work involved in running IFS Applications in Microsoft Azure and basically no difference from deploying our software on-premises.” – Dan Matthews, Chief Technology Officer, IFS Challenges Benefits • IFS Applications use Oracle Database 12c, Java and Oracle WebLogic, with a Windows-based client on modest infrastructure. • IFS wanted to relieve customers of the need to worry about it at all. “They want to focus their time and money on what they do best, not setting up and running storage arrays and server farms,” says Dan Matthews. • Eliminate infrastructure worries • Give customers faster time-to-value • Help customers and partners set up temporary environments • Expand business around the world http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case_Study_Detail.aspx?CaseStudyID=710000004170

  33. “Because we’ve moved our Oracle-based application to Microsoft Azure, our customers can deploy it much faster than they could by deploying an on-premises infrastructure, which requires a significant investment.” – Daniel Franz, Senior Solutions Manager for Vertical Markets Challenges Benefits • To meet the needs of utility customers, Redknee needed to offer its Oracle-based Redknee Utility Suite using a cloud deployment model, to provide lower costs and easier scalability. • “The utilities industry is in the midst of deep transformation, and our product needed to be able to accommodate this uncertainty and flexibility,” says Jens Voigt, Chief Technology Officer, EMEA. • Faster, less expensive, lower-risk deployments for customers • Improved data scalability • Better ability to expand business http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case_Study_Detail.aspx?CaseStudyID=710000004196
