The Problems
Problem Definition Data growth rates continue to increase Data growth exacerbates performance Management becomes more difficult Sizing practices are fixated on space Sizing practices are fixated on space requirements, rarely on IO requirements
Data Growth Growth rates as high as 50% annually. Increased business demands for mining useful information from the data. More demanding security, privacy, compliance and regulatory requirements All of these require compute cycles, licensing, and associated management TCO is increasing!
Performance Explosive data growth -> unacceptable performance Breached SLAs. Increases TCO through additional management Effect on the business clients of the service.
Sizing for Data I/O Data Growth is counted in storage. But database server sizing needs to account for data growth too! Storage Network RAM CPU Hardware change orders increase TCO!
Problem Definition Specialty appliances eg Exadata Exadatadesigned for extreme performance and high loads. What about smaller environments? Consolidation in the real world Production, UAT, Dev Multiple database versions Multiple database vendors
Mitigating Risk Tier 1 platforms for enterprise systems What about Linux? Windows? Etc Appropriate platform at the right cost Remove risk without increasing cost Field Tested Best Practices services reduces risk
Oracle Exadata Server Innovative appliance High-performance Resilient But does it fit?
If Exadatais the Ferrari of Database servers, what would a Camry solution look like?
An Alternate solution Performance matches requirements. RTO and RPO s that match your SLA Cost that matches budget
