20. 10 g Features Enabling the Enterprise Grid  Runtime Infrastructure – Availability – Workload Management – Monitoring  Manageability Support – Unified Notification – Central Topology, Distributed Deployment – Backup/Recovery

21. Server Infrastructure for Grid High Availability Web Cache Virtualized cache Surge protection Oracle HTTP Server Metrics-based load balancing Process monitoring and notification Auto discovery of OC4Js OC4J Instrumented runtime Fast failover notification Distributed config mgmt RAC End-to-end tracing Scale on commodity hardware Virtualized database resource

22. Web Cache A Virtualized Grid Resource Make more effective use of low-cost, existing hardware –Enables high hit-rate caching (which improves performance and scalability) Maintain quality of service with workload management –Improves system reliability Manage the end-user experience –Supports end-user performance monitoring and flexible deployment options Web Cache HTTP Server J2EE Server Database What is Web Cache? Reverse proxy cache and compression engine Deployed between browser and HTTP server

23. How Web Cache Works 1. Client sends HTTP request 2. Web Cache responds immediately if cached object is available 3. If object is not in cache, Web Cache requests object from Application Server 4. Application Server generates response (may include Database queries) 5. Application Server responds to Web Cache 6. If response is cacheable, Web Cache retains a copy for subsequent requests 7. Web Cache compresses page and responds to Client 1 2 3 4 5 7 Client Browser Web Cache Web App Server Database 6

24. Cache Clustering Solution: clustering on the Grid –Virtualizes cache instances into a single logical cache – spreads out load Automatic content provisioning –partitions content space for increased cache capacity –replicates popular content for performance and high availability Benefits: improved scalability, availability and capacity of cache tier HTTP Server Web Cache J2EE Server Database Issues:  Cache capacity limited to individual machine resources  Hot content lost if a cache fails or is taken offline

32. Grid-Related Standards Activity  Oracle commitment to open standards process – WS-I, OASIS, W3C, GGF  Grid standards build on web services standards – WSDL emerging issues – OGSI – Grid standards are relatively immature  Goal: Commercialization of grid technology – Standards play a central role

33. Developing for the Grid  Existing Applications Just Run – Expose existing apps as grid-enabled services  New Applications – Develop web services  Use JDeveloper ADF – Web services are grid-enabled in iAS, built on the J2EE platform

34. Leverage a Framework and Visual Tools  Oracle Application Development Framework – Standards based patterns – Service oriented architecture Business Services Web and Wireless Clients Rich Clients Model Controller  Oracle JDeveloper 10g – Visual – Declarative – Synchronized The flexibility of J2EE, open source. The productivity of traditional RAD.
