1 Mike Ault - Oracle FlashSystem Consulting Manager, IBM January 2014 Accelerating Oracle with IBM FlashSystem: The Need for Speed 2014 IBM Corporation

2 Smarter Computing Demands Flash The more we have flash for consumer devices......the more we need flash for our data centers IBM Corporation

3 Why Flash Storage.. Timing is Perfect!! In the last 10 years CPU Speed: Performance increase roughly 8-10x DRAM Speed: Performance increase roughly 7-9x Network Speed: Performance increase of 100x Bus Speed: Performance increased roughly 20x Disk speed: Performance increased 1.2x IBM FlashSystem 50+x 300K+ RPM Disk 2014 IBM Corporation

4 Datacenter s Response to Bridge Disk Performance Gap Most Costly & Volatile Add More Memory HDD Performance Enhancement Wasteful, Expensive & Ineffective with Storage Latency Issues Typical Performance Mitigation Tactics Expensive & Ineffective for Storage Performance Issues Add CPUs Tune & Modify Application Time Consuming, Very Expensive & Risky 2014 IBM Corporation

5 What if we only reduced Latency?? Consider Little s Law of mathematical queue theory as it applies to Application Performance Q = Number of parallel threads running in the application t = Time it takes for an IO request to be serviced (Latency) R = Result, typically measured in IOPS or Bandwidth Let s Assign Values to this equation: Now let s see how FlashSystem alters this equation A 50X improvement in application response time by only installing Flash! 2014 IBM Corporation

6 Economics of All Flash, Performance is Really Just a BONUS! 38% Lower software license costs Due to fewer cores Lower software maintenance More Efficient Infrastructure 13% lower infrastructure software costs 35% lower operational support costs Server / Storage Admin Much better storage utilization As much as 50% Lower maintenance Ease management by 50% 17% Fewer Servers Fewer cores Lower Memory Fewer network connections Lower maintenance Environmentals 74% Lower Cost Lower power / cooling Less floor space All Flash is 31% Less Expensive Overall 2014 IBM Corporation

7 Microsecond latency maximizes Application CPU utilization I/O Serviced by Disk 1. Issue I/O request ~ 100 μs 2. Wait for I/O to be serviced ~ 5,000 μs 3. Process I/O ~ 100 μs Processing CPU State Waiting ~100 µs ~100 µs ~5,000 µs Time to process 1 I/O request = 200 μs + 5,000 μs = 5,200 μs CPU Utilization = Wait time / Processing time = 200 / 5,200 = ~4% Time 1 I/O Request I/O Serviced by IBM FlashSystem 1. Issue I/O request ~ 100 μs 2. Wait for I/O to be serviced ~ 200 μs 3. Process I/O ~ 100 μs Processing CPU State Waiting ~100 µs ~100 µs ~200 µs 12X Application benefit by only changing storage latency! Time to process 1 I/O request = 200 μs μs = 400 μs CPU Utilization = Wait time / Processing time = 200 / 400 = 50% Time 1 I/O Request 2014 IBM Corporation

8 Introduction Important applications require: High Performance Queries, reports, and screens must return quickly Scale to high user loads Reliability 100% uptime Single system fault can not be fatal Loss of processing impacts bottom line Cost Effectiveness Effective use of resources Leverage tech to achieve accelerated performance gains for the cost Reliability can not be compromised 2013 IBM Corporation

9 But Where Does Oracle Need Speed? 2014 IBM Corporation

10 Oracle and Queries -Where does latency matter? READS User s Query Memory SGA & PGA Oracle Processes Reads - Cache miss Foreground Waits: DB file sequential read DB file scattered read 3-5 ms Storage latency Tables & Indexes Logs 2013 IBM Corporation

11 Why Don t Writes Matter? For data and index block writes: Uses delayed block cleanout Writes when it can t find clean blocks Writes every 3 seconds Writes on checkpoints 2013 IBM Corporation

12 Oracle and Insert/update/delete- Where does latency matter? LOG WRITES Memory SGA & PGA DBWR (background) Users Insert Commit Oracle Processes Tables & Indexes LGWR (foreground) Logs 2013 IBM Corporation

13 Where Else? Temporary Activity Sorts Hashes Bitmaps Global Temporary Tables Non-memory Undo activity Flash Cache 2013 IBM Corporation

14 FlashSystem IBM Corporation

15 IBM FlashSystem 840: Hardware View Improved RAS features Front/Back accessible Hot-swap Flash Modules, Power Supplies, Batteries, Fans, Controllers w/ interface cards and Canisters Non-disruptive maintenance and firmware updates (concurrent code load) Flash Modules (12) Battery Modules (2) RAID Controllers (2) Interface Modules (4) Fan Modules (4) Canisters (2) Management Modules (2) Power Supplies (2) 2014 IBM Corporation

16 IBM FlashSystem 840: Reliability Ingredients Superior Durability: Using the Best Flash Superior Protection: Beyond Disk RAID Chip/Plane/Die level protection SLC Market demand decreasing. emlc data protection techniques delivering more wear life than what market demands emlc delivers best Price/Performance 3X Variable Stripe Sizes Read Disturb Mitigation Automatic Read Sweeper High-Speed Clock Recovery Advanced Engineering = Less Maintenance 10X Protection Within And Across Flash Modules Self-Recovering Flash Modules Avoid system rebuilds 2014 IBM Corporation

17 Storage Performance Council (SPC-1/e) 2014 IBM Corporation

18 FlashSystem Result Details: IBM MicroLatency Leadership minimum reported latency (SPC-1 LRT ): 0.18 ms Single-system latency leadership up to about 85K IOPS, scalable with multiple FlashSystem units Nearest latency competitor (HDS) uses 2 racks of equipment, over 2x the flash for storage, plus a massive 1 TB DRAM cache and an additional 1 TB flash cache Nearest standard SSDs are ~2x the latency! 2014 IBM Corporation

19 FlashSystem Result Details: Extreme Performance System 8 Gbit FC Ext Ports Max IOPS/ Ext Port $/ASU GB Huawei Dorado K $76 Huawei Dorado2100 G2 IBM FlashSystem 820 HDS HUS 150 (SSDs) HDS VSP with HAF HP StorServ 7400 (SSDs) 8 50K $ K $ K $ K $ K $130 IOPS per external port normalizes aggregate performance across large and small-scale results. SLC + servers = more speed, higher price! We can do similar with 7xx products but do clients need it? Our result shows a single 1U building block, not a highly scaled out design like other results Maximum aggregate performance of 195, SPC-1 IOPS from a single 1U FlashSystem 820 Scale IOPS linearly by stacking FlashSystem units Strong performance efficiency : ~200K IOPS per rack unit ~50K IOPS per 8 Gbit FC port ~250 IOPS/Watt - more than 5x better than last SPC-1/E leader 2014 IBM Corporation

30 SLOB (Silly Little Oracle Benchmark) Testing Scenario SLOB generates the IO requests via PL/SQL, thus exercising full Oracle IO machinery along with SGA etc. SLOB is capable of testing random single block reads, writes and extreme REDO logging. It does all this with no application contention, thus allowing one to measure true maximum IO that can be achieved on a system. Workload consisted of 56 users from both RAC nodes generating db file sequential reads (Random Physical single block Reads). The test started with preferred read set to the disk failure group and continued after preferred read changed to FlashSystem failure group - ONLINE IBM Corporation

31 Acceleration of Database Creation with IBM Flash System After swithcing to FlashSystem (05:27 PM) Disk IO wait disappears and waiting is now on host CPU. This graph shows the effect of the low latency of FlashSystem and how it increases the host CPU utilization IBM Corporation

32 SLOB TEST PR Online Acceleration of Disk by FlashSystem 2013 IBM Corporation

33 SLOB Test Results Just by Adding a Single FlashSystem Box to an Oracle environment you can get: 36x acceleration of IOPS! 30x acceleration of throughput! 40x Acceleration of Latency! (assuming 0.43 ms, Oracle reports <0.5 as 0) 2013 IBM Corporation

34 Preferred Read Acceleration Comparing AWR logs Before Read From Disk After Acceleration Read From FlashSystem The average read response time for the first instance accelerated from ms to 0.43 ms and average IOPS accelerated from 3644 to IBM Corporation

35 System Configuration Linux X86 RHEL Server Gen2 XIV disk array IBM FlashSystem 820 ASM used to mirror between XIV and FlashSystem Switched preferred read mirror at Instance level Gen2/Flash means the Gen2 was PRM Flash/Gen2 means FlashSystem was PRM With PRM to FlashSystem achieved 75/25 ratio of FS to XIV reads 2013 IBM Corporation

36 Gen2 XIV and FlashSystem PRM Tests 2013 IBM Corporation

37 Gen2 XIV and FlashSystem PRM Tests 2013 IBM Corporation

38 Gen2 XIV and FlashSystem PRM Tests 2013 IBM Corporation

39 Conclusions Using ASM PRM achieved near Flash-only levels of performance Preferred read mirror using IBM FlashSystem provides dramatic performance boost in read heavy environments IBM Corporation

40 How About Some Real World Tests 2014 IBM Corporation

41 ABB As Is Environment: ABB US has ~ 15 major manufacturing plants & 7,500 users All plants depend on SAP; The SAP Oracle DB = ~ 3.2 TB The PR1 DB is hosted on HACMP-clustered AIX LPARs; The LPARs are clustered between 2x p570 P6+ frames The DB resides on 2x DS8700 arrays front-ended by SVCs DB LUNs are mirrored between the 2 arrays at the host level 2013 IBM Corporation

42 Business Challenge User dissatisfied with SAP performance Slow month-end batch reads and reporting Dialog response times approaching business SLAs Performance concerns causing hesitation to invest in growth 100K (USD) per month in SLA fines 2013 IBM Corporation

43 Fixes: Many alternate solutions tried / considered but limited success: Additional CPU => Limited improvements; Additional cost SAP dedicated SAN => Too expensive DS8700 SSD => Too expensive; Configuration limitations SAP / Oracle tuning => Limited changes helped a little; Extensive changes too labor intensive SAP HANA => Un-proven; insufficient app team cycles 2013 IBM Corporation

44 Proposed Fix Install (2) IBM FlashSystem 810 units, one to accelerate each Pod Attach behind SVC; powered by IBM P Series and AIX Migrate the database and logs to the SSD and mirror across the Pods via AIX-level mirroring (standard mirroring used today) 2013 IBM Corporation

45 Predicted Acceleration % % % % 50.00% 0.00% 1 Current wait time total 70.84% New project wait time 2.78% Total Improvement % Predicted CPU Utilization Percent CPU% Corrected CPU% % Increase Before and After 2013 IBM Corporation
