The workforce is changing
Access to information, anytime & anywhere Ability to try and “succeed or fail” quickly Business virtualization enables companies to compete anytime & anywhere Business is becoming collaboration focused rather than location focused Exploit advanced data models and analytics Business innovation is technology dependent Changes in business are driving fundamental changes in today’s workforce. There is a blurring between what is work time and what is non-work time, as more knowledge workers choose more flexible work hours and may not even have a physical place to go to work. Many of those with static office locations want access to work resources anytime, anywhere, from any device whether it be PC, MAC, smart phone or tablet. New dynamics in business and faster development cycles mean that companies can compete in more markets, with an objective of succeeding OR FAILING as quickly as possible to maximize successes and limit investments in areas that do not succeed. Getting results/answers fast determines how many business opportunities can be explored and at what cost. No longer can business be conducted in silos, as the more successful and competitive companies are driving increased collaboration and transparencies across functional organizations and business disciplines. At the core of this is access to and sharing of resources, processes and technologies to drive ever higher productivity.

Why Migrate And Virtualize workloads
Upside of Virtualization Upside of VCE + Virtualization Consolidation Allows multiple application servers to be consolidated onto single machines Ease of Provisioning Virtual images are easily duplicated/moved Manageability Migration tools such as vMotion allow for seamless, zero-downtime management of all application tiers Availability Integrated High Availability capabilities increase service level agreements (SLAs) All Benefits of Virtualization PLUS Faster Procurement Times Solutions is pre-integrated, pretested, and pre-validated for faster time to market Reduced Management Complexity Unified management frameworks reduces the complex activity of managing Tier-1 landscapes Seamless Support Comprehensive, integrated support that encompasses all aspects of Vblock Infrastructure Platforms The Business Value of Virtualization study by Forrester found that virtualization technologies have delivered benefits that CIOs could clearly explain to the board: - IT becomes more efficient. Beyond just hardware savings from consolidation, virtualization optimizes infrastructure costs and increases operational efficiency. Plus, firms were able to reclaim capacity (space, power, and cooling) in their data centers, postponing costly expansion plans. - Time-to-market is faster. Virtualization speeds server and application deployment, makes configurations more consistent, and simplifies the staging of applications across test and development. - IT services are more predictable. There will always be failures and downtime, but virtualization makes recovery from these faster, easier, and lower cost. - Companies leave savings on the table. Overall, study respondents virtualized between 10% and 30% of their environments and are happy with the results. Despite having achieved rapid return on investment through hardware savings, firms appear to slow down after their initial successes, with many planning to virtualize just 50% of their systems. Upfront planning can result in increased long-term savings. This is no easy task as the planning, design, and implementation stages are all complex, time consuming efforts. The upside of strategy and roadmap aligned to VCE and Vblock Infrastructure Platforms not only saves you the time and effort (reduces whitespace to as little as 30 days) to physically build the underlying infrastructure in support of the intended workload, but now you have a single platform to management and NOT a mixture of discreet elements. The secret is Vblock Infrastructure Platforms revolutionary approach to systems assembly. Specialist build teams from VCE and/or its partners perform the assembly of on average 300 industry leading components from Cisco, VMware & EMC enabling those platforms to be delivered as a system ready to operate the business. At the same time VCE provides lifecycle support performing ongoing testing, certification and integration work to ensure that over the life of your infrastructure investment it is operating with up to date software, while expanding and ensuring cross functional integration and compatibly.

It is a unique product standardization of best of breed technologies. No other system is designed, engineered and built like a Vblock System. Through significant standardization, VCE is able to provide dramatically simplified customer experiences, while increasing predictability of customer projects and increasing the control customers have over their infrastructure. Nothing else comes close to the VCE experience. Let’s examine the key components of a Vblock series 300 & 700 a little more closely…This presents a quick visual for you to go back later to revise more closely. The compute resources are made up of Cisco UCS Gen 1 or Gen 2 fabric interconnects, 5108 blade server chassis, FC are 2014XP, 2008XP and we are currently including B-Series M2 and M3 generation blades for a very powerful compute. The network layer is comprised of Nexus 1000v virtual switch, a pair of Nexus 5548UP Ethernet switches, and a pair of MDS 9148 SAN switches for robust expandability to address critical capabilities like replication, mobility and backup solutions. On the series 700MX, optional MDS switches include 9508, 9513, 7010. The storage layer is designed around EMC VNX for series 300 and VMAX for series 700. These are unified storage options that include the 5300, 5500, 5700 and 7500 models (for VNX)and software, as well as RecoverPoint for advanced replication capabilities. On the series 700 it includes VMAX 10K & 20K. Virtualization layer is provided by VMware vSphere 5.0, vCenter Server 5.0 & ESXi host/hypervisor layer. The end result is that you select a Vblock model for performance and scale as needed (1K to 10Ks)

OPTIONAL APPLICATION SERVER
What is Unique about Vblock™ Specialized System for High-Performance Databases? VMAX 40K Optimized EFD. FAST VP. High-performance and high-capacity options available DATABASE SERVER Cisco C240 M3: 2-, 4-, or 8-server options NETWORK Nexus 5K, MDS, advanced networking configurations NEXT-GEN VNX 8000/7600/5800 Server Flash—XtremSF/XtremSW for scale, application coherence, and RAC OPTIONAL APPLICATION SERVER Cisco C220 M3: 2-, 4-, or 8-server options Choose VMAX and/or VNX based on technical fit, skillset, and governance relations, the world’s most trusted storage platform 1 Server flash for high IOPS and low latency, tuned with storage flash 5 Exploit Vblock System advantage – availability, lifetime assurance, ease of scaling, etc. 2 Aggregate mission- critical applications and BI/DW with high-performance databases 3 Minimize loss and latency overhead, and maximize bandwidth 4 Mix virtual or bare metal workloads across the development, QA, and production lifecycles So what is unique about specialized system for high performance databases? This slide discuss how the components as well as overall system is optimized for high performance databases and applications. There are five reasons why organizations would choose specialized systems for high performance databases. 1. Need millions of IOPS and consistently generate much lower latency (less than 500 milliseconds) than traditional computing platforms that do not have server-side flash. We accomplished this by selecting Cisco C240 to accommodate two EMC XtremSF flash cards. This also run in concert with EMC XtremSW, advanced cache software to ensure application coherency, reduce latency and extends EMC’s FAST, Fully Automated Storage Tiering. We chose faster processor and RAM density to support high performance database processing (E-2690 with 2.9GHz speed, ad RAM 6144 GB (8 node), 3072GB (4 node) and 1536 GB (2node). This also helps you drive greater performance for databases like Oracle, as well as others like Microsoft SQL and IBM DB2 in the future. 2. In line with VCE’s philosophy of extending mixed workload environment, we chose Cisco C-220 servers ideal to run applications and other necessary functions in the same footprint. It helps customers choose right applications such as SAP, Oracle, Web servers and other applications to run that are dependent on databases. 3. We also developed advanced network configurations to ensure that we have no bottlenecks as a system, minimizing loss and latency overhead while maximizing bandwidth. We expressly designed and purpose built each component such as storage, server and network from the ground up to achieve these high performance needs. We empower our customers to run virtual or baremetal workloads and there will be no restrictions for running databases and applications across dev, QA and production systems. It allows customers to take control of the deployment cycle and timing on when to deploy in what mode so that they can utilize Vblock to suit the business demand. Once again, Vblock value where you can exploit higher system availability (96% reduction in downtime), life time spans to several to 5 years in hardware refresh lifecycles and ease of scaling is all there to help you drive business results on this platform

XtremCache: Software Performance and Protection
Dramatic improvements in latency and throughput Intelligence Extends EMC FAST architecture into the server Protection Backed by intelligent, resilient, highly available storage Note to Presenter: View in Slide Show mode for animation. For tier one workloads in which data must be protected with networked storage, XtremSF can be coupled with intelligent server flash caching software XtremCache. Combining XtremSF with XtremCache provides accelerated read performance with protection. While accelerating performance, XtremCache simultaneously delivers enterprise-class protection of mission-critical application data. Data in the cache is simply a copy of data that is already stored on the array, while the master copy is maintained by the advanced data services that EMC’s trusted networked storage provide, including high availability, end-to-end integrity, reliability, and disaster recovery. XtremCache leverages a write-through algorithm which ensures that newly written data persists to the networked storage array, such as VMAX or VNX. If the server fails, the data remains protected and accessible on the array.

XtremCache Advanced Architecture Server Application CPU PCIe Flash Card Network Storage Switch Storage Array SSD/HDD 1 2 3 4 Flash FC / SAS SATA / NL-SAS 5 9 8 7 6 Reads (latency: <100 μs) Writes Reads are serviced by XtremCache for Performance Writes are passed through to the storage array for Protection With XtremCache, network storage access is bypassed since the data sits in the server on the PCIe bus. Therefore, read speed is dramatically improved, bringing the read latency down to less than 100 microseconds. Note to Presenter: Click now in Slide Show mode for animation. In addition, because it is a write-through cache, XtremCache passes the writes down to the storage array, leveraging the protection of the back-end networked storage. As a result, XtremCache gives you the best of both worlds—accelerated performance with data protection.

XtremCache 2.0 – Oracle RAC Support
Requires XtremCache and above Cache-Coherency Roles & Responsibilities: RAC still owns database content coherency (rows/columns) XtremCache owns LUN block coherency Optimized, sends metadata between nodes Uses SCSI-3 PGR for nodes membership transitions Cooperate with Oracle clusterware Oracle RAC Nodes Oracle Clients XtremCache & XtremSF LUN Shared Volumes Starting with release of the code, XtremCache has been enhanced to maintain cache coherency across Oracle RAC cluster nodes. It does so while continuing to deliver local cached blocks at microseconds speed. In this simple design, Oracle RAC continues to own responsibility for database content coherency across the cluster, just as it would normally. XtremCache Read requests to blocks in local node cache are returned immediately to Oracle and Read requests to blocks not in local cache are serviced from the backend storage and then asynchronously added to local XtremCache intelligently – just the way it did prior to Oracle RAC support. Database block Writes will continue to register directly with the backend storage (pass-thru) just as before, but will only be acknowledged to Oracle once XtremCache made sure no stale version of the block resides in its cache on any other node. This simple mechanism allows DBA’s to increase their compute power, connectivity, and availability leveraging the horizontal scalability of Oracle RAC, all the while enjoying a PCIe host-based Flash cache performance boost right where they need it most– close to their database processing. In order to maintain cache coherency, XtremCache uses SCSI-3 Persistent Group Reservation (PGR) to ascertain that no nodes are running without XtremCache being aware of their block updates. Additionally, XtremCache will communicate with Oracle RAC frequently to maintain awareness of Oracle cluster node membership.

Backup And Recovery for Oracle
Integrated Solutions Takes Oracle Protection To Next Level Avamar Third-party Backup Applications Data Domain― DD Boost Software NetWorker Less storage for backup – deduplication Speed up backups 50% with DD Boost Software Less bandwidth Reliable recovery Control and visibility ORACLE-optimized interfaces The Backup and recovery solution for Specialized Systems for High Performance Database remains the same. You can back up your databases with Data Domain, Avamar, Networker or 3rd arty backup applications. Oracle RMAN is Oracle’s backup tool. Oracle DBAs can continue to use Oracle RMAN that they currently use with solutions like Data Domain. The backup solutions allow customers to backup data to both disks and Tape. The DD Boost software redistributes the parts of deduplication process speeds up backups. There is a new standard for Oracle backup enabled by optimized integration directly with the application. What you get is less storage required, less bandwidth required, speedup backups, much more reliable recovery and you can keep control and visibility by using backup software like Avamar or NetWorker or allow Oracle DBAs to use their own native tools but sending the workloads to your backup storage that you control, so you eliminate silos. Customers can leverage EMC backup solutions they currently use, but overall Data Domain would be an ideal solution for many large scale database servers where speed, reliability and space matters.
