ConsolidaKng App and DB on ODA Healthcare Industry Saas Provider
COMPANY OVERVIEW • Sobware as a service provider – document and
archive management • Industry: Healthcare • Employees: approximately 50
CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES • Ensure a highly available data infrastructure to
accommodate strict SLAs regarding data availability
• In need of high availability architecture and disaster recovery environment
• Very lean IT staff: One administrator manages servers, storage and database
SOLUTION • Oracle Database Appliance
CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE • Though hadn’t ini3ally considered and engineered
system, ODA really caught their interest because of the built-‐in high availability with no special exper3se needed to deploy.
RESULTS • Replacing exis3ng infrastructure, app and
database, with no DB HA capabili3es and many single points of failure, with one ODA for produc3on and one ODA for DR and non-‐prod
• Saving purchasing separate servers for App, DB and storage in both produc3on and DR data centers – and having to find/pay for exper3se in HA configura3on
• Saved Oracle EE licensing by u3lizing Capacity On Demand – 8 cores licensed on each ODA
Healthcare Saas Provider -‐ Benefits All New CapabiliKes • Mul3ple HA points to decrease planned/unplanned down3me • Provides Remote Data Guard to maintain Business Con3nuity • Converged Engineered system with single vendor support • Eliminates mul3ple patches for every piece of hardware • Resources for growth & future expansions/environment consolida3on • Provides produc3on like hardware to support business in DR failover • Test, patch, release on produc3on like architecture
HA and DR SoluKon using ODA School Admission Services Provider
COMPANY OVERVIEW • Admission tools and services for universi3es • Industry: Educa3on CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES • Struggling with down3me in current environment
and require li_le to no down3me • Seeking re-‐plamorm on Linux – moving off Itanium
chipset • Need to support many lower environments and
flexibility/simplicity in cloning to these environments
• Lean IT staff – need a simple to manage solu3on
SOLUTION • Oracle Database Appliance
CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE • Implemented the ODA aber a lengthy RFP
process. Although engineered system wasn’t ini3al preference, ODA selected due to its simplicity, extensive HA features and licensing benefits
RESULTS • Replaced exis3ng HPUX / Itanium hardware with
ODAs for produc3on, non-‐produc3on and DR environments
• U3lize ability to clone non-‐prod environments • U3lize Data Guard for business con3nuity both in
primary and remote data center • Saved Oracle EE licensing by u3lizing Capacity On
School Admissions Provider – Benefits New CapabiliKes • Mul3ple HA points to decrease Planned/Unplanned down3me • Abundant Compute resources for growth & future expansions/
environment consolida3on • Converged Engineered system with single vendor support • Supports Oracle’s vision/roadmap for “Oracle on Oracle” • Provides Local & Remote Data Guard to maintain Business con3nuity • Eliminates mul3ple patches for each & every piece of HW • Fully virtualized environments in step with LSAC’s policy of N+1 HW • Ability to test patches validity in lower environments • RAC provides higher business con3nuity.
• Each developer and tester needs their own environment to: – Develop new offerings and features – Test a new offering prior to going into produc3on – Test new feature enhancements prior to going into produc3on
• Need a system to validate backup and recovery process and procedures • Development and tes3ng is an itera3ve process – many cycles, can be nightly
– Crea3ng development and test environments takes 3me, storage and staff • Need mul3ple copies of the database • DBA 3me required to create and monitor crea3on of copies
Oracle Database Appliance Complete, Simple, Reliable, Affordable • Engineered System complete with compute, network, storage and sobware • Simple to install, manage and maintain • Reliable plamorm with no single point of failure across hardware or sobware • Affordable solu3on allowing reduced licensing for database and applica3ons with capacity on demand
