OUR
PERSPECTIVE
Big Data is RELATIVE not ABSOLUTE
BIG DATA
ANALYTICS
BIG ANALYTICS
When volume, velocity and variety of data exceeds an
organization’s storage or compute capacity for accurate
and timely decision-making
The process surrounding the development, interpretation,
and useful application of statistics to solve a problem.
Analytics applied to data provides the 4th V = Value
Three types: Descriptive, Predictive, Prescriptive
The combination of using ANALYTICS on BIG DATA
AND/OR the capability to run advanced or complex
analytics on any size data.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT BENEFITS
ONDEMAND
•
•
•
•
Increased performance by removing indexes and letting the Exadata Storage Engine
do its work. Side benefit is more space for additional customers and databases
leading to an increased ROI.
Implemented an Information Lifecycle Management Policy to partition data where
possible and to compress data utilizing Hybrid Columnar Compression based on
usage and historic attributes.
Implemented Transparent Database Encryption as a standard for all customers.
• Very few other database vendors could compete against this option.
• Little performance impact as the data was encrypted in the DB Nodes BUT
decrypted by hardware at the storage nodes.
Utilized Instance Caging, Database Resource Management and IO Resource
Management to guarantee a level of performance to all customer.

ORACLE EXADATA BENEFITS FOR SAS END USERS
Better
performance
Better operational
support
Better scalability
–
• 40Gb/sec Infiniband interconnect between database and storage nodes and
externally to the SAS math tier
• Database aware Exadata Storage Server allow for the offload of data intensive
queries to the storage tier providing at least a ten-fold increase in query performance
• All support is handled by one team and one vendor. No longer necessary to call out
to multiple teams and try and get multiple vendors on the phone.
• We have streamlined the creation and delivery of new databases to the deployment
teams, with 12c we look forward to providing faster and more flexible options.
• Support more SAS users with the higher performance and I/O throughput provided
by Exadata
• Achieve linear scalability because of the capabilities of Exadata Storage Server
architecture
• Exadata has a balanced configuration designed to support SAS database loads

TECHNOLOGIES USED
ONDEMAND
Centralized management of all Oracle databases with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c.
Utilized Oracle Advanced Security Option (ASO) for Transparent Database Encryption
with unique wallets/keys for each database.
Also utilized the ASO for SSL encryption of all client connections.
Utilized the Scan Listener to hand off to dedicated local listeners on their own port for
each database.
The compute tier for the solution had access to our Exadata DMZ only over the Scan
Listener port and the dedicated local listener port.
Backups are to ZFS and utilize mainly RMAN backup sets and opportunistic data
pump exports.
Database Partitioning and Hybrid Columnar Compression is used in our data lifecycle.
management strategy, we are still testing offloading image copies to ZFS.
Utilized Oracle Database Appliance as a Tier 2 database offering.

LESSONS LEARNED
ONDEMAND
•
If you do not have RAC and GRID experience, then sign up for training as
soon as you place your order.
• Utilize Oracle’s onboarding services for Exadata if you are a first time buyer.
• Make sure you understand the performance implications between High
Performance Disks and High Capacity Disks in regards to your intended
usage.
• Investigate how data is being placed onto the disk, the default ASM
templates do not explicitly place any file types to the HOT area of the disk.
• If you are already a premium support customer, look into the platinum
support offerings available for Oracle Engineered Systems.
