Selling the Database Edition for Oracle on HP-UX 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, poor customer service? Faster access to data Are you using file systems or raw disk partitions to 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 Oracle8i) –Upgrading database or –Database can withstand some downtime

VERITAS Database Edition 2.1.1 Integration of online and offline storage management for HP environments Building Blocks Oracle VERITAS Volume Manager Database Edition for Oracle VxDBA Utility OnlineJFS File System (fulfilled by HP) Storage Checkpoints & Quick I/O
5
Product Positioning For DBAs facing immense time pressure in an environment with ever-increasing data, VERITAS Database Edition for Oracle offers raw device performance with file system manageability. 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
Database Edition for Oracle Product Positioning Manageability PerformanceHFS/JFS Raw Devices Database Edition for Oracle
7
Feature Overview Quick I/O Raw device performance with file system manageability Up to 200% performance improvement over traditional buffered file system Cached Quick I/O not available Protection from disk failures with fault- tolerant storage options Online administration of database storage
8
Feature Overview Storage Checkpoints Enables Block-Level Incremental Backup Enables Storage Rollback for immediate “point-in-time” recovery from on-disk images VxDBA utility Manages Storage Checkpoints and Storage Rollback and monitors file system space Java-based Storage Administrator GUI Visual configuration from a single console

Building Oracle Databases on Raw Disks vs. File Systems Unique, total storage foundation solution to deliver the best of both worlds Manageability “Invisible” locations for tablespaces Difficult to grow tablespaces Database 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
10
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
11
Quick I/O Performance Comparison to Raw I/O Database Edition has equal to raw performance Up to 200% performance improvement over traditional file systems Tested configuration included: HP N (4 CPUs and 1 GB of RAM) HP-UX 11.0 (64-bit) Database Edition 2.1 for Oracle Oracle 8.0.5 (64-bit) TPC-C scale factor of 100 warehouses
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
Uses 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 Rollback 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 Managed by VxDBA utility
16
Block-Level Incremental Backup Changed Blocks Since Last Backup + Block Level Incrementals NetBackup Server NetBackup BLI Backup Extension VERITAS File System with Storage Checkpoints Previous Full Backup Full Restore Minimize Your Database Backup Window
17
Database Edition: Block-Level Incremental Backups Back up only changed data blocks! Higher data availability Virtually eliminates backup windows Allows more frequent backup schedules èBackups contain up-to-date data Enhanced performance Significantly lowers CPU and network resource drain during backups Faster recovery from backups (less redo logs to apply) Requires NetBackup Server engine and database server to be a NetBackup client
18
VERITAS Storage Administrator Visual configuration management and performance analysis Allows one-step graphical execution of common configuration management steps

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)
21
Features & Benefits Quick I/O 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
22
When Selling on HP-UX Up to 200% performance increase over running Oracle on traditional buffered file system Enables HP OnlineJFS File System that is an OEM version of VERITAS File System Storage Edition assumes LVM running underneath; Database Edition runs on VxVM Storage Edition supports MC/ServiceGuard; Database Edition does not
