Reduce Latency for OLTP Workloads with Flash Cache 11
Performance Improvement Example Spindle Limited OLTP Workload Throughput Gain Due to Flash Cache Flash Cache is More Effective than Adding Disk Drives Operations per Second 60.0 50k 50.0 40k 40.0 30k 30.0 20k 20.0 10k 10.0 + 78% Baseline system was FAS3170 with 84 high-performance disks Tested under OLTP workload Adding 1TB of Flash Cache increased I/O throughput by 78% Average response time improved by 30% with Flash Cache 140 more disks needed to get same throughput as 1TB cache 0.00 BASELINE Configuration Plus 1TB Flash Cache 1TB Flash Cache costs 55% less than adding 140 more disks 12
Service Profiles - Oracle Examples RAC node 1 RAC node 2 RAC node 3 RAC node 4 Oracle App Oracle App Servers become secure interchangeable hardware components Easy to move base nodes across server hardware No LAN, SAN Zoning or any reconfiguration Re-purpose hardware based on changing workloads Add Application Tier components or upgrade hardware as situation demands

Always-On Mobility NetApp Motion Challenges Outage windows in multi-tenancy Load balancing and utilization Isolation of applications and workloads Dynamic tiering ON 24/7 ON NetApp Motion Eliminate application outages Always-on Physical and virtual environments Maintenance and lifecycle management Load and resource tiering and utilization Dynamic scaling Centrally managed Centralized Management Storage Storage Pool Pool Virtual Storage Partition Motion 15
Sizing Methodology and Approach Integrated System Approach Physical and Virtual Compute (servers), network, and storage Based on a balanced configuration (assuming linear scalability within and between building blocks) Based on workload and database technology Cisco UCS and NetApp Solution for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) http://www.cisco.com/en/us/docs/solutions/enterprise/_center/app_networking/ucs_oracle_netapp.html 16
Why NetApp for Oracle Create On-Demand base Clones in Seconds Enable Application Recovery in Minutes Reduce IT Cost and Complexity Double DBA Productivity base Size = 8 TB Schema = OAST Backup Time (Full base ) Restore and Recovery Time (two corrupt data files) SnapManager for Oracle(SMO) 00:01:47 00:04:27 Oracle Recovery Manager(RMAN) 06:38:00 00:09:12 RMAN with Binary Compression 26:48:40 00:16:28 By eliminating older, inefficient technologies of existing resources via the shared IT infrastructure with NetApp storage, we avoided building a new two-megawatt data center at an estimated cost of $65 million. Most importantly, we re spending our money on expanding the business rather than growing a technology footprint. Rick King CTO, Thomson Reuters Professional Division 17
