Oracle Accelerates Momentum of Solaris InvestmentAl Gillen, Gary Chen, Peter Rutten May 06, 2014

Oracle continues to demonstrate its willingness to invest heavily in Solaris and SPARC, and customers that remain on these platforms have increasingly attractive solutions available to them. The general contraction of the Unix market continues to set a macro-level story that appears negative, but Oracle's investments in Solaris clearly bucks that trend.

The company's willingness to embrace the best of open source for use in Solaris, through the integration of OpenStack, is a good indication of how the company plans to compete going forward. To the extent that Oracle Solaris can integrate with OpenStack private and public clouds, it expands the opportunities for Oracle. Further, given the dramatic performance improvements coming from the SPARC T5 and M6 processors, the company has a strong baseline platform for all of its products.

Exadata Storage Servers

Exadata Storage Servers run Oracle Enterprise Linux and Exadata Storage software. They currently consist of the following hardware:

– X4-2L with: 2 sockets Xeon E5-2630 6 cores @ 2.6GHz 15MB L3 96GB Memory (4 * 8GB + 4 * 16GB DDR3 1600MHz LV DIMMs) SAS-2 RAID HBA 12 disks, either high performance or high capacity

• High Performance: 1.2TB@10Krpm SAS2 SSF 2.5" Drives (total 14.4TB)• High Capacity: 4TB@7200rpm SAS2 3.5" Drives (total 48TB)

• 4 x 800 GB Sun Flash Accelerator F80 PCIe cards (total 3.2TB)• 2 InfiniBand 4X QDR (40Gb/s) Ports (PCIe 3.0)

They can only be used by Database Domains Four are installed in the half rack config; eight are installed in the full rack config

They are the EXACT same storage servers as the Exadata Storage Server X4-2L

Improved Exadata Storage Server X4-2LEnhanced Smart Flash Cache

• New software caches write I/Os in flash memory−20x write improvement

−10x write improvement from previous storage servers

• Cache is transparent, persistent, and fully redundant


Exadata Smart Flash LogAccelerate Transaction Response Times using Flash

Uses Flash for Database Logs in a clever way– Flash is fast but has slow outliers– Erase cycles, wear leveling, etc.

Smart Flash Log feature transparently uses Flash as a parallel write cache to disk controller cache

– Whichever write completes first wins (disk or flash) Better response time and more throughput Uses almost no flash capacity (0.1% of capacity)

Default (on left)- Choppy response- High Outliers

Smart Flash Log- 3x faster response- Much lower outliers

1 - Bandwidth is peak physical scan bandwidth achieved running SQL, assuming no compression. Effective data bandwidth will be much higher when compression is factored in. 2 - IOPS – Based on read IO requests of size 8K running SQL, typically with sub-millisecond latencies. Note that the IO size greatly effects flash IOPS. Others quote IOPS based on smaller IOs that are not relevant for databases and measure IOs using low level tools instead of SQL.3- Actual Performance varies by application.4 –Load rates are typically limited by database server CPU, not IO. Rates vary based on load method, indexes, data types, compression, and partitioning

Backup and Recovery Best PracticesMaximum Availability Architecture with Backup and Recovery Savings


Oracle Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) On Premise with Capacity on Demand Engineered Systems hardware & hardware support for

a monthly fee– No upfront capital expenditure, often OPEX not CAPEX

– Usually lower total cost than purchasing system

On Premise– Deploys behind customer’s firewall

– Control and visibility over the system

Elastic Compute Capacity on Demand1– For peak workloads and high availability

– Pay only when needed

Oracle Platinum and PlatinumPlus Services2– Higher level of support including patching services

– Quarterly advisory services for system security, performance, and availability
