We Looked at 700,000 Servers

The average PRODUCTION Oracle Database Instance uses:

•4% of CPU

•2MB/second of Network

•1200 IOPS

The average SQL Server database only does slightly better (about 5% CPU).

This does not strain a modern server in any way.

A Real World Example

EMC is one of the largest Oracle shops in the world and it runs on VMware.

EMC was able to:

•Consolidate their servers by a factor of 13:1

•Reduce RAC to Single Instance databases

•Convert Enterprise to Standard Edition databases

•Add HA to single instance databases.

•Realize millions of dollars in cost savings

Linked Clone of DB

∆The linked clone is a separate DB that shares the original storage and keeps a local copy of disk block changes.

41 Confidential

A Real World Use Case

Data Director can:

•Create a linked clone of the original database that has an identical O/S and DB configuration.

•Ensure changes do not impact original DB.

•Automatically discover and mask sensitive data.

•Expire and delete the linked clone after 7 days.

•Automatically remove any backups or snapshots.

•Quickly create and apply a patch any databases with a similar configuration. Security
