A Dossier
to Customizing
New Oracle Systems
The following is an excerpt from an on-going independent review on Oracle engineered systems and appliances.
Providing an expert and custom DBA
guide on how to match and optimize computing, storage networking and
networking resources on Oracle Sun productline is a task that
requires product knowledge and extensive experience on Oracle and Sun
productline and expertise with an objective and independent
perspective. Enhancing the matched resources and capabilities,
whether you use a comprehensive middleware, extensive virtualization,
or emerging files systems technologies such as Hadoop HDFS, and
underlying technologies such as partitioning and Hybrid Column
Compression (HCC), you have the opportunity to analyze, establish,
and further research an expert's opinion with a different viewpoint
with a comparable potential for a successful infrastructure and
implementation for optimal performance, reliability and availability,
and subsequent deployment.
Certainly, it is time for a major
investment on information technology to walk on the cloud. It is time
for a change! Thus, providing a custom independent guide to match and
optimize the use of Oracle Sun systems including appliances,
high-availability, and storage networking solutions with respect to
OLTP or Datawarehousing and Business Intelligence Solutions, with an
futuristic view on technologic sustainability and predictable
economic trends.
If you information technology
infrastructure hinders a focus upon datawarehousing, there are
various solutions all of which could meet the DBA desires to have the
best storage, storage networking and main computing resources, such
as CPU power, enough RAM memory, and high quality flash and solid
state storage (SSS) with convenient capabilities to attain the
optimal custom solution. Whether you are looking at Exadata, the
Oracle Database Appliance, the NoSQL Appliance, or the Oracle ZFS
Storage Appliance as a potential solution, your investment will pay
back on reliability and performance for the next years, opening a
door to an easy upgrades to new version, editions, and the next
generations of database technologies. Exalogic is appropriate to
attain the perfect middleware goals, and Exalytics can drive the
appropriate built-in resources to attain the best desirable outcome
for business intelligence, data mining, data discovery, and analytics
in general. The implementation of in-memory database machines, with
Oracle SQL or NoSQL, enhances the ability to integrate with new file
systems, such as Hadoop HDFS and the ability to implement associate
mapsets and derive intelligent reports. The amount of hardware
resources customizing high-end resources at any level, and the
ability to leverage those resources for the best return on investment
(ROI) and extended return on assets (ROA) at the lowest possible
total cost of ownership (TCO) in today's market.
Because, these appliance and engineered
systems have been designed to work together both CAPEX (Capital
Expenditure, i.e., investment) and OPEX (Operational Expenditure) are
significantly optimal in today's information technology market.
The same remarks could be applicable to
online transaction processing (OLTP) systems, where the Exadata
database machine and the Oracle Appliance can provide a significant
level de customization for a dedicated or hybrid purpose.
In general, companies regardless of its
size can successfully consider an important investment in IT at the
moment, which could bring this sector to its best moment in ten
years, and have more confidence than ever that their ROI.
In essence, what is important is to
plan a recommended acquisition quite ahead of time, considering,
importance concerns such as capacity (memory and storage), and for
each one customize every technology available; as such for the
former, what amount of conventional RAM and flash memory will be
required, so you could decide on a quarter, half or full Exadata
machine; or customize your RAC on a third-party hybrid solution
choosing the appropriate Solid State Storage (SSS) technology, but
always looking about the convenience of systems that are engineered
to work together; likewise, for the latter, carefully research what
are your options for secondary storage (e.g. the ZFS Storage
Appliance) and tertiary storage (e.g., tape libraries), including
customizable archiving models. In terms of storage capacity, Exadata
has the ability to easily expand and interconnect the enhanced
machines storage networking via Infiband, the fastest and most
flexible provding the best bandwith as well. On the other hand, processor
power is no longer the only main factor in attaining optimal database
performance, and architects, DBA, IT Managers, and other influencers
or recommenders need to look at a variety of factors before a final
decision is made. There will be plenty of time to make a decision.
Exadata Machine X.2-8
Currently, the most powerful and scalable machine with capabilities for both datawarehousing and OLTP databases with leading TPC-H and TPC-C benchmarks.
Exadata Machine X.2-2
Exadata X.2-2 is the traditional Oracle database machine solution, most widely used in the market. The Exadata machines can be either expanded through an Expansion Rack and several machines can be networked through Infiniband.

Oracle Database Appliance
RAC
Although it is predicted that Oracle Database Appliance will take over a good percent of RAC's market, it is also predicted that many customers will still customize their RAC ground up to meet certain business process model requirements or simply to perform in-house tasks such as security customization.
STORAGE
There is a need to categorize storage into primary, secondary, and tertiary; and determine whether a bounded, resilient archiving model is required to attain automation.
Oracle Sun Servers
Companies that wish to customize database solutions from ground up with native OS, and build their own virtualization environment, either bare-metal or on top of the native OS-layer can do so as well.
