1 Selling the Storage Edition for Oracle November 2000

2 The Need Key Customer Concerns Continuous availability (24x7) of mission-critical Oracle databases How much does downtime cost your business in regard to lost user productivity, reduced company revenue, and poor customer service? Faster access to data Are you using file systems or raw disk partitions to store Oracle data? Easier management of increasing data Do your DBAs have to learn how to manage raw disk partitions to gain database performance?

3 Building the Solution What is the customer using, and how does this product fit into their installation? HP-UX 11.0 –New Installations –Upgrading OS Oracle7.3 or later (inclusive of Oracle 8i) – Upgrading database – Database can withstand some downtime

4 Storage Edition 2.1.1 Architecture An integrated product suite, specifically engineered for Oracle environments Oracle Storage Edition for Oracle OnlineJFS File System (fulfilled by HP) VxDBA Utility Storage Checkpoints & Quick I/O

5 Product Positioning For DBAs facing immense time pressure in an environment with ever-increasing data, the Storage Edition for Oracle offers file system manageability without sacrificing the performance or data integrity of raw devices. Increases availability of Oracle databases Offers equal to raw device performance Offers ease of management of file systems Virtually eliminates database backup window Speeds database recovery

6 Storage Edition for Oracle Product Positioning Manageability Performance HFS/JFS Raw Devices Storage Edition for Oracle

7 Product Description Raw disk performance with ease of file system administration using Quick I/O technology Online administration of database storage Minimize unplanned downtime with fast recovery Proactive, automated monitoring of file system space Point in time recovery from disk with Storage Rollback Minimize database backup window with BLI Backup

8 Product Description (cont.) Unique, total storage foundation solution to deliver the best of both worlds Manageability  “Invisible” locations for tablespaces  Difficult to grow tablespaces Storage Edition for Oracle Performance  Best OLTP performance Data Reliability  No potential for data loss with data written to disks directly DisadvantagesAdvantages Raw Disks Performance  Lower database throughput (30-90% of raw disk)  Higher CPU overhead Data Reliability  Potential data loss Advantages Manageability  Tablespace organization  System-wide backup and restore policies  Easy to create and expand files for Oracle Disadvantages Conventional File Systems

9 Raw Device Performance Quick I/O for Databases Breakthrough VERITAS File System interface technology Presents regular VERITAS File System files to Oracle as raw character devices Allows parallel updates to database files for increased throughput Takes advantage of asynchronous I/O Oracle handles locking for data integrity HP’s Online JFS File System is a OEM version of VERITAS File System Quick I/O regular file raw device RDBMS Server

10 Quick I/O Performance Comparison to Raw I/O Storage Edition has equal to raw performance 160% performance improvement over traditional file systems Tested configuration included: HP K570 (4 CPUs and 1 GB of RAM) HP-UX 11.0 (64-bit) Storage Edition 2.0 for Oracle Oracle 8.0.5 (64-bit) TPC-C scale factor of 100 warehouses

11 New Feature Overview Support for Asynchronous I/O Raw device performance Up to 160% faster than buffered I/O file systems Allows for parallel updates to datafiles Storage Checkpoints Enable Block-Level Incremental Backup Enable Storage Rollback for immediate “point-in- time” recovery from on-disk images

12 Key Differentiator: VERITAS Storage Checkpoints Point-in-time snapshot of database Storage Checkpoints maintain changed data blocks as database is being updated Uses efficient copy-on-write technique No post-processing needed to scan for changed data blocks

13 Benefits of Storage Checkpoints Storage Rollback: VxDBA utility manages Storage Checkpoints for faster database recoverability from on-disk backup image Protects from logical errors What-if analysis Block-Level Incremental Backup: NetBackup manages Storage Checkpoints and extracts only the changed blocks Virtually eliminates database backup window

14 Storage Rollback Storage Checkpoints are on-disk backup images Consistent, stable images of a file system at a particular point in time Storage Rollback is “restore” from the on- disk backup images or Storage Checkpoints Copies before-images of data blocks back to the live file system Restores without going to tapes

15 Storage Rollback Recovery from Storage Checkpoints = Simply write back changed (blue) blocks to previous state and then apply redo logs to bring database to desired point in time

16 Block-Level Incremental Backup Back up only changed data blocks! Increased data availability Virtually eliminates database backup windows Allows more frequent backup schedules èBackups contains up-to-date data Enhanced performance Significantly lowers CPU and network resource drain during backup Faster recovery from backups (less redo logs to apply) Requires NetBackup Server engine and database server to be backed up to be a NetBackup client

17 Block-level Incremental Backup Changed Blocks Since Last Backup + Block Level Incrementals NetBackup Server NetBackup BLI Extension VERITAS File System with Storage Checkpoints Previous Full Backup Full Restore Minimize Your Database Backup Window

18 Product Description Hosts Supported HP-UX 11.0 Passed MC/ServiceGuard compatibility testing System Requirements Oracle7 and Oracle8iORACLE CERTIFIED Physical Packaging Enables license key for OnlineJFS File System Quick I/O VxDBA utility to manage Storage Checkpoints and Storage Rollback

19 Product Description (cont.) Educational Packages Database Edition for Oracle class now available though Solaris specific Consulting Packages Any standard package if necessary Support Packages Direct Assist Support (5x12) Premier Direct Assist Support (7x24)

20 Features & Benefits Quick I/O 3.3.2 Equal to raw performance with file system manageability Online database administration Reduces production database downtime Block-Level Incremental Backup Support Minimizes database backup window Storage Checkpoint & Rollback Faster database recoverability Automated file system growth Proactive system administration
