Oracle DBAs and IT administrators want to:Simplify and accelerate daily tasks including:

Development and testing of new databases / Apps

Provisioning of infrastructure in support of Oracle

Efficiently monitor, diagnose and tune performance

Supported by infrastructure that is:Unified – allows for consolidated sharing of resources across multiple Oracle databases and applications from production to dev/test

Efficient – makes maximum use of capacity and is easy to provision

Easy to Manage – allows Oracle monitor performance efficiently, to quickly diagnose and tune


Simple and Efficient InfrastructureEMC Unified Storage

Integrated Performance MonitoringCentrally manage QoS allocation of bandwidth, throughput, response time

Performance Boost: Huge Pages in Linux Rapid Indexing using Nested Page Tables

HugePagesallows us to change the default memory page size from 4KB to 2MB. With Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and the newest processors by Intel and AMD we can ow

have 4MB pages!

Oracle / Linux Benefits:

• Memory used by HugePages is locked and cannot be paged out

• Fewer pages to scan in the SGA

• Working set of buffers for the paging / swapping deamon will be smaller

Virtualization / Linux Benefits:

• Reduces Translation Lookaside Buffer misses

Pagesize Number of pages in a 10GB SGA4KB (default) 2.6 million

Customer StoryReal Examples of Better Performance

Yes, Sam thank you very much. We eventually had another

Ultra SPARC T2 and installed that application there. After

enabling large page support and increasing the page sizes

from 4K to 256M, our performance went 24 – 27 times

faster than on Ultra SPARC T1 (!!!!) as we also was number

of TLB misses drop significantly comparing to our

previous tests.

Have a great weekend,

Improved quality of service

Oracle IT line of business managers want to:Maximize performance at scale and maintain availability for OLTP and Data Warehouse Systems =

OPEX savings + increased quality of service

Using infrastructure that optimizes how Oracle:Performs: FAST VP and FAST Cache

Scales: VMAX, Unified Storage, Virtual Provisioning

Protects: EMC RecoverPointand Data Domain

Accelerate Oracle OLTP with VNX Series>3x utility from your Oracle OLTP using FAST Cache and FAST VP

• Improved Oracle transaction time by 3.7x

– Using FAST Cache and virtualized Oracle (with vSphere 4.1)

• Increased performance comes at only a 15% increase in Storage solution cost

• Configuration: – VNX5300 with 20 15K SAS and 7

SSDs drives (2 used as FAST Cache, 5 in a tiered pool w/ FAST VP)

– vs CX4-120 with 45 FC drives If you run Oracle OLTP, VNX series is a great solution

EMC’s Newest Storage Benefits for Oracle

The combination of EMC FAST VP with VMware

provides the following performance advantages:

•Applications can extract 44% more performance (TPM)

with negligible change in response times

•System performance scales more efficiently as workloads

increase (single instance or RAC) while lowering annual

OPEX costs by 33%

•VMware and EMC FAST VP reduce SLA performance

tuning required by DBAs from hours to minutes
