Oracle Hardware and Software Engineered to Work Together Q: Where’s the “white space” in this stack? A: The Application Delivery Network!

Application Delivery Networking Users Data Center Application Delivery Network At Home In the Office On the Road Oracle Optimizing and securing the network for the delivery of Oracle applications

Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) in the Oracle Stack Application Server Virtualization App. Server Web Server Web Server Virtualization Database Server Virtualization Database Server Storage Storage Virtualization User Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) in the Oracle Stack ADC

Engineered to Perform Together Application Server Virtualization App. Server Web Server Web Server Virtualization Database Server Virtualization Database Server Storage Storage Virtualization User Engineered to Perform Together ADC

Value for Oracle Applications and Middleware Local Traffic Management (LTM) and Web Acceleration High availability and acceleration for applications and middleware Offloads processor intensive tasks, reducing server CPU load by 40% Accelerates transaction speeds by 50% for web clients connecting over the WAN

Value for Oracle Web Access Management AAA Policy Enforcement and Single Sign-on Integration with Oracle Access Manager Consolidates WebGate functionality from dedicated proxy tier onto ADC

Value for Oracle Database Health Monitoring and TCP Connection Management ADC sits in between the application servers and the database to intermediate and manage TCP connections Monitors health of RAC instances and individual nodes within those instances When a failure is discovered, LTM can instantly reset client TCP connections, eliminating costly downtime time waiting for individual TCP connections to timeout Obviates manually resetting connections for scheduled and unplanned maintenance

Value for Data Replication over the WAN WAN Optimization Management (WOM) Establishes a site-to-site tunnel with TCP settings optimized to the characteristics of the WAN link, accounting for bandwidth, latency, congestion, and packet loss Employs hardware-based compression to minimize the amount of data transferred across the WAN link and accelerate compression and de-compression by offloading processing from the database host Employs data de-duplication algorithms and dictionary-based lookups to eliminate retransmission of repeat data Employs hardware-based encryption to secure the site-to-site tunnel across the WAN link and accelerate encryption and decryption by offloading processing from the database host WOM works in conjunction with Oracle GoldenGate, Data Guard, Recovery Manager, and Streams

GoldenGate Performance

Recovery Manager Performance 823

Value for Application and Database Security Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Database Firewall Monitor database traffic from applications to detect and block SQL injection, privilege or role escalation, and other internal attacks Correlate web application user identity with database security events for reporting and richer forensic information When WAF detects a SQL injection pattern, the user’s metadata is logged to the Oracle Database Firewall Oracle Database Firewall analyzes the SQL and applies the policy rule Logged events can then be correlated in the reports

Value for Oracle Engineered Systems Local Traffic Management Offload non-essential functions to ensure maximum utilization of Engineered Systems resources Minimize migration challenges 10Gb gateway to connect users

Value for Oracle Network Attached Storage Intelligent File Virtualization Horizontal scaling Load balancing Data migration Heterogeneity File Storage Control BEFORE AFTER

Value for Oracle Management Local Traffic Management (LTM) and Global Traffic Management (GTM) High availability Disaster recovery Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g, 11g, and 12c Monitor and manage the network in harmony with Oracle in the datacenter
