1. Barry Hodges Senior Solution Architect, Sales Consulting, Oracle NZ The Best of Oracle Open World 2008

2. A Different Perspective Just being there … Opportunity to liaise with subject matter experts and product managers Input into the road map Pre-arranged agenda adapted as new opportunities presented themselves

3. Setting the scene …

4. Data Warehouses Growing Rapidly Tripling In Size Every Two Years Source: Winter TopTen Survey, Winter Corporation, Waltham MA, 2008. 200 400 600 800 1000 19982000200220042006200820102012 Actual Projected Terabytes of Data Size of the Largest Data Warehouses

5. Data Warehouses Start Slowdown at 1TB Table Scan Time Table Size 1TB10 TB100TB 1 Hour 10 Hours 5 Hours Typical NAS Typical Mid-Range Array Typical High-End Array

6. The Performance Challenge Storage Data Bandwidth Bottleneck Current warehouse deployments often have bottlenecks limiting the movement of data from disks to servers Pipes between disks and servers are 10x to 100x too slow for data size

7. Ship less data through the pipes Add more pipes Make the pipes wider Solutions To Data Bandwidth Bottleneck

8. Brainy Software approach - use smart database software to minimize the need for hardware –Smart Scan, OLAP, Bitmap Indexing, Join indexing, Materialized Views, Result Caches, Range Partitioning, etc. Brawny Hardware approach - use powerful hardware to perform brute-force scans and joins –Brawny hardware approach only works if the rate of scanning data scales with size of data Solution Approaches

9. What We Announced …

10. HP Exadata Storage Server Hardware The Core Building Block Exadata Ships Less Data Through Pipes –Query processing is moved into storage to dramatically reduce data sent to servers while offloading server CPUs Exadata has More Pipes –Modular storage cell building blocks organized into Massively Parallel Grid –Bandwidth scales with capacity Exadata has Bigger Pipes –InfiniBand interconnect transfers data 5x faster than Fibre Channel Exadata Moves a Lot Less Data a Lot Faster

16. Exadata Smart Scan Processing Oracle Database Grid What Were Yesterdays Sales? Exadata Storage Grid SUM Select sum(sales) where Date= 20-Oct … Retrieve Sales Amounts from Oct 20

17. Smart Scan Functionality Join filtering –Star join filtering is performed within Exadata storage cells –Dimension table predicates are transformed into filters that are applied to scan of fact table Backups –I/O for incremental backups is much more efficient since only changed blocks are returned Create Tablespace (file creation) –Formatting of tablespace extents eliminates the I/O associated with the creation and writing of tablespace blocks Smart scans are transparent to the application –No application or SQL changes required –Returned data is fully consistent and transactional

18. Graph shows throughput achieved in real-world deployments –Infiniband is held back by PCIe 1.0 x8 bus on typical host systems MB/sec 12x slower 3x slower Single Connection Throughput InfiniBand Throughput

19. Massively Parallel Storage Grid Scalable –Scales to hundreds of storage servers –Data automatically distributed across storage servers by ASM –Transparently redistributed when storage servers are added or removed –Data bandwidth scales linearly with capacity Available –Data is mirrored across storage servers –Failure of disk or storage server transparently tolerated Simple –Works transparently - no application changes Exadata bandwidth scales linearly with capacity 4 GB/sec 8 GB/sec 16 GB/sec …
