5 Database as a Service Cloud Model Database as a Service cloud model Consolidate multiples databases : multitenant architecture Provide Database as a Service (DBaaS)/ Platform as a Service (PaaS) Great benefits: Reduce cost by maximizing the utilization of system resources Allow to provisioning on demand: dynamically provisioning to meet the workload needs

6 Database as a Service Cloud Model Infrastructure Challenges on DBaaS High Availability Requirement Great business impact caused by infrastructure downtime Different service level(sla) for different business Highly scalable architecture to meet the performance requirements Handle the workloads from multiple databases Bottlenecks from processor, memory, network, storage Storage frequently presents critical database performance bottlenecks Processor, memory and network performance improved significantly Storage performance bottlenecks Database workloads usually requires very high IO requirements throughputs( IOPs, MB/s), IO latency. Hard disk performance limited by mechanical speed. As results, Processor, memory and network resources underutilized Software license also underutilized (usually linked to # of processors)

7 Existing Solutions Oracle Real Application Clusters: active-active cluster database Based on share everything clustering architecture Protect database availability against up to N-1 server failure Reduce planned downtime for hardware, OS, software upgrade Add node or remove node based on demand of capacity Application load balancing Provide high availability and scalability architecture Require shared storage to store database files. Require high speed interconnect network across database nodes User connections Node1 Node2 Node3 RAC Instance1 RAC Instance2 RAC Instance3 Cluster Interconnect RAC Database
