Distributed Data ManagementGraeme KerrOracle in R&D Programme

Distributed Data Management

• Provides access to data when and where you need it• Optimizes information access regardless of physical

location of data.• Enables virtualisation of data in Grids.

• Types of Data:• Flat Files, Relational.• Structured & unstructured.• Text, Binary, proprietary.• Scalar, user defined typed, XML, RDF• Images, DICOM, LOB, Spatial.• High Volumes.

Methods of Data Distribution

• Distribute• Federate• Consolidate

Distribute Information

• Share information between users, applications, databases, organisations and partners. • Move or copy / replicate information as needed• Traditionally implemented as replication or message

queuing• Wide range of technology solutions to achieving distribution.• Continuous feed and periodic refresh capabilities are key

requirements.

• Common within Scientific Grid Approach• Works well when replicas are read-only.• Considerable issues when replicas are updateable.

Methods of Data Distribution

• Distribute• Federate• Consolidate

Federate Information

• Federate data in multiple data stores into a single virtual database• Access both Database and non-Database data• Access both structured and unstructured data• Hide physical location of data from applications• Vendor and open-source solutions.

• Used mostly as point solution within Commercial World rather than as a key design point.

Methods of Data Distribution

• Distribute• Federate• Consolidate

Consolidate Information

• Consolidate heterogeneous data into a central pool.• Single database or pool of databases• Any data (audio, video, XML, email, messages, etc…)• Any platform (Linux, Windows, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Tru64,

OpenVMS, OS/390)• Proven scalability

• Hundreds of Very Large Database customers• Industry leading benchmarks

• Very common in commercial world.

Distributed Data Management : Summary

• Oracle supports efficient utilization of all resources:• Consolidate Information—Scalable access to large amounts

of information• Federate Information—Data can be located where needed

but accessed as single database• Share Information—Multiple users and applications can share

data/information to operate more effectively

• Information Integration & fast connectivity critical to Grid Computing
