EMC Meets the Needs of Oracle
Customers
• Lower cost – virtual pools of
Oracle IT assets increase
utilization and automation
• Higher service levels makes it faster to deploy new
Oracle-based apps and keep
them protected and online
• Increased agility – share
virtual resource pools allows
Oracle IT as a service

What Does Your Cloud Need?
• Great Storage With Innovative Tiering
– VMAX, VNX – Run Oracle up to 3X faster
– FAST VP– Improve Oracle performance by 44% with
lower costs
• Outstanding Replication
– Replication Manager, RecoverPoint – Recover in
Minutes, not Days
• Industry Leading Virtualization
• Flawless Data Protection – EMC Backup and
Recovery Systems

The Backdrop for Data Protection
Explosive data growth
• Typically represents a
factor of 4 to 30 times
production capacity
• Daily, weekly, and monthly
full backups kept for
months or years

6
Oracle Backup and Recovery Challenges
• Managing capacity required to store many copies of Oracle
backups
– Typically 10-20x amount of source data
• Recovery from tape
– Cumbersome and operationally intensive
• Protecting archive logs
– Backups monopolize tape infrastructure
• Enabling disaster recovery (DR)
– Massive bandwidth required across WAN , especially for large
database backups

7
Transforming Your Oracle Backup
Environment
Retain longer
Keep backups onsite longer with less disk
for fast, reliable restores, and eliminate the
use of tape for operational recovery.
Replicate smarter
WAN
Move only deduplicated data over existing
networks for up to 99% bandwidth efficiency
and cost-effective DR.
Recover reliably
Continuous fault-detection and self-healing
ensure data recoverability to meet SLAs.

Applying Deduplication to Oracle
Deduplication enables weeks or months of full backups to be stored in
about the same space required for a single backup on traditional disk

EMC Data Domain
RMAN disk-only backup and recovery strategies
• Simplifies the backup process
– RMAN disk-only backup and
Production
Database
Dev/Test
Databases
DR
Databases
recovery strategies are
more straightforward
• Leverages Oracle Enterprise
Manager
– GUI for managing backups,
restore points, creating
backup reports, etc
• Supports other Oracle backup
capabilities
RMAN backups
are performed
natively via
NFS/CIFS
Data Domain
Deduplication Storage
Operational Restores can
be leveraged for Dev/Test
environment refresh
RMAN backups are replicated
automatically using minimal bandwidth
DR Restores can
be performed
manually or
automated via
scripts
