EMC is also the first and only vendor to introduce Tier “0” Flash drives to the midrange. This is a significant accomplishment, especially considering that EMC has the most intensive and lengthy qualification processes in the industry. CLARiiON’s Flash drives are the same Flash solid-state drive (SSD) technology that EMC delivered early in on Symmetrix DMX-4 series systems. These are not the same as flash drives in consumer electronics. They are enterprise-class Flash drives that provide ultra-fast read and write performance for IO-intensive applications and provide the best response times. As a result, CLARiiON CX4 is able to offer Tier “0” storage for breakthrough performance, providing 30 times the IOPS of a 15K Fibre Channel drive and consistently delivering less than 1 millisecond response times. CLARiiON Flash drives are well-suited for applications with demanding IO requirements such as Business Intelligence and analysis, Seismic Analysis and Survey, and database log tables. Flash drives are more energy efficient with 38 percent less energy required per terabyte and 98 percent less per IO. CLARiiON Flash drives also deliver better reliability than traditional disk drives since they have no moving parts and provide faster rebuilds. Note to Presenter: CLARiiON Flash drives will be generally available in October 2008 with initial support on the CLARiiON CX4-960.

The doubled performance and doubled scale of the CLARiiON CX4 is a perfect fit. Every Oracle Database deployed will need an associated development and testing environment. Since development and testing environments are usually three to four times the size of production environments, there’s tremendous benefit in the CLARiiON CX4 series consolidating development and testing with production, and enabling flexible virtual provisioning to speed the development and testing process. Over time, as Oracle production data grows and data accumulates, many customers are now deploying Oracle data warehouses to mine this data. EMC has an Engineering team onsite working with Oracle to design, test, and document the CLARiiON CX4 series for optimized configurations specific to data warehouse workloads. About a third of Oracle customers are using RAC (Real Application Clusters) to consolidate one or more of these environments together, clustering the database servers. This means more storage coming into the infrastructure, and more performance needed. It also means that the cluster is now mission-critical as more data is connected to it. Five 9s system availability, as well as site-level protection and backup/restore, are critical requirements. Note to Presenter: Magellan Health Services’ customer profile can be found on EMC.com at this URL: “EMC Consulting helped us understand what ILM could do for us, and we definitely wanted to adapt it. That expertise, along with the visit to Oracle’s Technology Center, helped get everyone—from the Oracle and SQL DBAs to the Storage and Server Administrators—on the same page to see how it could all be used. We were excited to learn that EMC had co-developed a joint Proven Solution with Oracle to optimize database layout and performance.” Fran LoPresti, Director of Database Services, Magellan Health Services
