NonStop SQL handles critical business needs Customers realize availability benefits of NS SQL A securities company moves to NonStop SQL for its superior performance and availability Cost of downtime $3M/hour Objective is to manage the transactions with no unplanned downtime Performing at 2000 tps, driving 20,000 sql statements from 10,000 concurrent users over 2000 JDBC connections
NonStop SQL handles critical business needs Customers realize scalability and availability benefits of NonStop SQL An internet service provider uses NonStop SQL to manage Petabytes of database Drives more than 100 000 tps no outage since going live in 1995 managed by 2 DBA 7
NonStop SQL handles critical business needs Customers realize mixed workload benefits of NonStop SQL An intelligence agency manages 150++TB of NonStop SQL database Drives mixed-workload consisting of 39,000 ingests/second concurrently with >5000 ad-hoc and OLAP queries, and database maintenance activities concurrently Mixed workload capabilities are available out-of-the-box No need of application partitioning and multi-tier complex architectures to workaround lack of these capabilities 8
The NonStop approach World s highest application availability Lower Total Cost of Ownership Simple & integrated out of the box 9
HP NonStop SQL DB solution
Market Requirements Affect Database Choices Performance Need better response times Continuous data availability requirements Scalability More data, More Users Capability Real-time, mining Cost and complexity Out-of-the-box efficiencies, consolidate workloads, reduce costs, manageability 11
HP NonStop SQL Overview Massive parallelism (MPP shared nothing architecture) Out of the box clustered database (4096 multi-core cpu ) Linear scalability (98,5%) Fault tolerance (Process Pairs technology) Disaster recovery and automated operations Online repair, upgrades and reconfiguration (--> 100% uptime ) Standard Interfaces (JDBC-ODBC) 12
NonStop SQL handles critical business needs Provide information in real-time : data accessed anytime anywhere NonStop SQL has industry s most elegant mixed workload handling NonStop SQL engine executes concurrent database updates, queries and batch operations No need for application partitioning Customers enjoy flexible configurations Customers can start small with a 2-core database server and scale to thousands of cores Customers scale user data from 146 GB to Petabytes There are no constraints on how to scale the server in response to growth in business 13
NonStop SQL handles critical business needs Customers enjoy clustering and lack of complexity benefits NonStop SQL delivers out-of-the-box cluster awareness and management No add-on cluster software download and configuration Adding resources to a cluster is done online in simple steps, complexity taken away It takes only 19 steps from receving media to having a NonStop SQL database instance up and running Low TCO means saving money with NonStop SQL All DBA productivity tools are included with the base SQL license with no additional costs No additional Partitioning Software licenses required Diagnostic, Tuning, Management packs are all included in the base license NonStop has fewer moving parts and less complexity, leading to lower operational costs 14

Planning and process Life cycle of a database migration Assess Plan Conversion Implementation Phases Assess Main activities IT architectural assessment understand current state Investigate scope, duration + cost of project Identify business dependencies Identify technical dependencies Plan Identify people, resources and required skills Identify tools for the migration Identify HW + SW resources for the migration Create overall project plan Conversion + implementation Automatic conversion of DDL, scripts,database objects, queries => user acceptance Extract, cleanse and migrate data => parallel run Unit tests, performance tests, integration tests => go live
Highest level of availability Mission-critical computing defined Availability Level AL 4 AL 3 AL 2 AL 1 IDC Definition Transparent to user No interruption of work No transactions lost No degradation in performance Stays online Current transaction may need restarting May experience performance degradation User interrupted, but can quickly re-log on May need to rerun some transactions from journal file May experience performance degradation Work stops Uncontrolled shutdown The market has inflated the term mission critical. At the highest level, it means more than a major inconvenience. It can mean business failure. HP Integrity NonStop Servers AL4 defines fully fault-tolerant servers, in which redundancy of components, combined with special software, ensures that processing will continue, even if there is a failure in a single hardware component in one area of the system.
