Single Instance Oracle Improvement
Ideal where entire database cannot fitwithin one or more ioDrives
CONFIGURATION• Place “hot files” on a Fusion-io device
– data files – redo logs– archive logs – temp tablespace – undo tablespace
ADVANTAGES• Huge improvement in transactions
per second• Reduce infrastructure cost of
configuring disks for IOPS• Simple deployment• Extend life of existing equipment

Single Instance Oracle on Fusion-io
Ideal where entire database easily fitswithin one or more ioDrives
CONFIGURATION• Host entire Oracle database on
Fusion-io• Use ioDrives instead of disks
ADVANTAGES• Highest performance in IOPS and
throughput• Much lower cost in infrastructure,
operation, power consumption, and cooling
• Simpler installation and maintenance procedures
Entire database on ioDrive

High Availability with Oracle Data Guard
CONFIGURATION• Management, monitoring, and
automation to create and maintain standby databases
• Protect Oracle data from failures, disasters, human error, and data corruption
• Automatic and instant failover with Oracle Fast restart and Broker
ADVANTAGES• Speed of flash-to-flash replication• Tunable parameters for user and
workload appropriate availability• Lower costs, simpler installation and
maintenance than clustering

Oracle RAC with Fusion-io
CONFIGURATION• Smart Flash Cache – optional
component in Oracle 11gR2 or Oracle Enterprise Linux
• Extension of database buffer cache can be stored and used on Fusion-io
• Terabytes of addressable memory space, improving response times
ADVANTAGES• Higher transactions per second• Lower infrastructure costs• Straightforward installation and
maintenance

Applying Oracle to Web Applications
Pod CONFIGURATION• Leverage Dataguard• Active and passive server
configuration• Set design of single pod
ADVANTAGES• Robust Oracle software ecosystem• Achieve scale with basic-level Oracle

Natural Fit with ASM
• ioDrives are a natural fit for Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
• Mirror and stripe multiple ioDrives in a single server
• ASM auto balances I/O load if any disk shows higher than average I/O stress
Sample flash-centric server platform• HP DL 580 G7• Up to eleven
1.28TB ioDrive Duos• 14TB total flash• ASM

ALIBRIS CASE STUDY
“Previously, any searches that had to go back to disk
frequently resulted in a lost sale. Now we cache all data
in either RAM or Fusion-io. Search speeds have improved
over six times, eliminating slow response as a cause of
customer abandonment.”John Shearer,Director of IT

SYNTRICITY CASE STUDY
“The ioDrives improved
application performance by
five to ten times nominally,
and ten to thirty times on the
extreme end. This performance
raises the bar on the size of the
data sets that our customers can
effectively work with and allows
us to give them a competitive
advantage.”
