Agenda

• Business Drivers and Challenges

• Adding Value to Data Guard

• DR for Oracle Fusion Middleware

with the ZFS Storage Appliance

• Support Services

• Next Steps

Business Drivers and Challenges

• Increasing sensitivity to downtime and data loss• Due to the cost of downtime, recovering in 48 to 72 hours and losing 8 hours or

more of critical corporate information is no longer acceptable

• Companies now measure recovery time and recovery point requirements in hours, and in some cases, minutes

• DR has expanded to ensure comprehensive IT service continuity• Disasters are not rare because most are caused by mundane events such as

power failures, IT failures, human error, and localized flooding

• Increasing pressure from internal and external stakeholders• Board members, auditors, regulatory agencies,

strategic partners, and customers demand proof of DR preparedness

• DR preparedness is now considered a fiduciary responsibility between an organization and its stakeholders

Why Organizations are focused on Disaster Recovery

Business Drivers and Challenges

• Increasing requirement to speed database application development

• Application patch releases, upgrades, and custom app development drive dev/test

work requiring deployment of new app’s in less time.

• Need to efficiently duplicate large mission critical databases to

support continuous demands for application development and test

• Multiple clones are often required for each production database in order to support

the many development and test activities associated with large production systems

• It is also important that the cloning process have zero impact to the production

database

• In many organizations, for every production OLTP database, there are

several development and test databases

Why Organizations are Focused on Database Development

and Test

Adding Value to DataGuard DR Copies

• Oracle Data Guard provides high availability and disaster protection

for mission-critical Oracle databases

• Multiple database clones are often required to support development

and test associated with large production systems

• Adding a Sun ZFS Storage Appliance to an Oracle Data Guard

configuration provides a low-cost solution for snapshots and clones

• No new licenses required for Enterprise Edition customers

• Tested, validated, and supported by Oracle

Accelerate Application Deployment with a Cost-Effective

Platform for Development, Test, and Quality Assurance

Benefits

Oracle Fusion Middleware

• Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) is the foundation for the Oracle

application infrastructure, which enables business applications to be

created and run efficiently across the enterprise

• Oracle's FMW disaster recovery solution protects the infrastructure and

provides business continuity during a planned or unplanned event

DR for Fusion Middleware with ZFS Storage

Appliance

• The ZFS Storage Appliance compliments the DR capabilities of Data Guard for the Oracle Database

• The ZFS Storage Appliance easily administers replication for Fusion Middleware data stored outside of the Oracle Database

• Hardware and Software

• Engineered to Work together

• Tested, validated, and supported by Oracle

The Sun ZFS Storage Appliance

• Combines multiple protocol connectivity, data services for business

continuity, and ease of management into a single appliance

• Comes with a license-free model for all protocols and data services

Remote replication, snapshots and cloning enable complete disaster

recovery (DR) and business continuity

• Remote Replication

Data is replicated from the primary to the standby site, with data

blocks asynchronously streamed to the remote storage appliance

Scheduled Replication - The user can define a schedule for the

replication to occur automatically

Continuous Replication - The replication process

happens continuously without intervention

• Use Sun ZFS Storage Appliance to replicate all non-database content to

ensure brief RTO and aggressive RPO for the Oracle Fusion Middleware

environment

• For high availability, deploy clustered Sun ZFS Storage Appliances

• NFS protocol is preferred for the FMW deployments for the ease of

deployment and maintenance

• Store all the non-database FMW infrastructure within a project and

replicate the project

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture MAA Best

Practices for Oracle FMW DR Configuration and

Deployment

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture MAA Best

Practices for Oracle FMW DR Configuration and

Deployment

• Use the Scheduled mode of replication for a typical Oracle FMW DR

deployment

• Use the Continuous mode of replication if the standby site is required to be

up-to-date irrespective of whatever the rate of change at the primary site

• Snapshots and clones can be used at the target site to offload backup,

test, and development types of environment

• Configure Oracle Data Guard with the “Maximum Availability” option, to

enable the standby database to be almost synchronized with the primary

Benefits


Savings

• All data services (snaps, clones, replication, compression, thin

provisioning, etc.) are included in the ZFS Storage Appliance at no cost

• With Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, no additional database

software licenses are required

• High capacity disk drives in a densely populated configuration enable a

low cost solution with a small footprint and lower energy costs

• ZFS data compression improves storage efficiency and thus reduce

capital expenditures by reducing storage capacity requirements

1/3 lower TCO than

EMC and NetApp


Simplicity

• The intuitive BUI management interface and simplified administrative procedures reduce operations costs by reducing administration time

• Predefined scripts automate and coordinate the process between ZFS Storage Appliance and Data Guard further simplifying management of the DR environment

• Fast provisioning and configuration helps reduce initial setup costs

Edison Group Usability Study

Simplicity

• 34% less time required to provision and configure the storage

and its connectivity

• 31% less time for maintenance and typical configuration changes

• 44% less time spent troubleshooting

Shows that the ZFS Storage Appliance can be managed

more efficiently than a comparable NetApp system


Simplicity

• Having too many vendors on hand can dramatically increase cost of management and reduce overall environment efficiency
