<Insert Picture Here>Overview:What is VirtualizationWhy this is Important

Defining Virtualization • Abstract underlying physical computing resources • Simplify interfaces to computing resources Make one computer look like manyBenefit: Applications •Increased agility in matching resources to the changing needs of your workload: Multiple Virtual Machines Virtualization Software Single Physical Computer

Oracle Grid-Based ComputingCurrent Phase: The Flexible Grid The Self-Managing Grid Integrating… • Across the stack Enabling… The Flexible Grid • Automation Adding… • Self-management • Flexibility • Agility Applications The Grid …through virtualization Automation / Integration Resources that are… Middleware • Distributed • Scalable Database • Manageable OS Virtual Machines Virtualization Physical Pools Physical PoolsMid-Tier Server Clusters Oracle’s unique ability to deliverReal Application Clusters Current Phase cross-stack

Strategic Engagement: What is needed• Now: • Leverage Virtualization to decrease cost and improve performance for enterprise applications: • Test/Dev – automate builds and testing • Scalability On Demand • HA and Disaster Recovery • Better TCO for in-house, hosted, and SaaS models• Strategically: • Make your products “virtualization friendly” to live in a dynamic world • Use and define APIs that differentiate you • View the virtualization layer as a option on your product…how should it work?.. • To make your product more flexible, scalable, and efficient • To make your product easier to deploy, manage, and support

Strategic Value Delivering on “Cloud Computing”• Oracle VM is the virtualization layer for implementing “private clouds” in the Oracle data center• Other “cloud” packaging / initiatives for Oracle products requiring virtualization should incorporate Oracle VM• Oracle VM is the “cloud” infrastructure and Oracle VM Templates are the way to deploy solutions to the “cloud”• Please contact Oracle as appropriate if embarking on any cloud efforts so we can align and assist

I/O with PV guests compatibility • Requires PV OS kernel for best perf.• Does not leverage or require HV hardware • Requires HV hardware for unmodified images• Poor I/O scalability due to emulation architecture • Open: wide device support: uses native (e.g.• Not open: dependent on virt. vendor for drivers Linux) device drivers

Oracle VM Oracle Fusion Oracle Non-Oracle Non-Oracle Database Middleware Applications Applications Applications Oracle Oracle Oracle Oracle or Red Hat Microsoft Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Windows Oracle VM• Oracle tested and supported server virtualization technology• Maximizes consolidation of Linux and Windows servers• Saves on power, cooling and space

Oracle VM Server Virtualization and Management• Oracle VM is comprised of… • Oracle VM Server • Oracle VM Manager• Oracle VM Server • Open source server software tailored by Oracle • Installs on “bare-metal” servers from a single CD • x86 and x86_64 based Intel and AMD Systems• Oracle VM Manager • Web browser-based management console (command line & API also) • Java-based management server • Database repository: XE (incl.), SE, EE, or RAC • Installs as guest VM (template available) or on “bare-metal” servers from a single CD

Oracle VM - Guest OS Support• Support for paravirtualized (“virtualization aware”) OS kernels - Highest performance: Great for I/O scalability • Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 (from Oracle or RedHat) • Windows PV Drivers• Support for hardware virtualized (“unmodified”) OS versions (hardware support required) • RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 • Windows 2008 Server SP1, Windows 2003 Server (64bit and 32bit), Windows 2003, and Windows XP• Member: Microsoft Server Virtualization Vendor Program (SVVP)• 64-bit and 32-bit guests• Up to 64-way SMP hardware (OVM 2.1.5)• Up to 32 virtual processors per guest (OVM 2.1.5)

Oracle VM: Concepts Overview Oracle VM Manager: •Browser-based •Java serverServer Pools: •Scalable & Available•Pool resources•Load balance•Migrate•Auto failover VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM Server Pool Browser Server Pool Oracle VM Manager Oracle VM Servers Oracle VM Servers NAS, SAN, iSCSI NAS, SAN, iSCSI XE, SE, EE or RAC DatabaseOracle VM Servers:•Host guest VMs Shared Storage Pool Options:•Enterprise Linux •NAS/NFS•Windows •SAN •iSCSI

Oracle VM Manager• Browser-based Management Solution• Command Line and Web Services API• Included with Oracle VM (no additional charge)• Full VM lifecycle management: • Create • Configure • Clone • Share • Boot • Migrate

VM Manager Command Line Interface Note: CLI is a separate download• Commands can be scripted allowing automation of administrative tasks i.e. checking status, lifecycle management, and executing bulk actions.• Guest, server and server pool lifecycle management: • Power On/Off, Clone, Save as Template, Import, Migrate, Pause, Unpause, Suspend, Resume and Delete virtual machines • Manage virtual machine resources, including ISO files, virtual machine templates and VM images • Manage Oracle VM Manager users, and Oracle VM Manager groups • Create and configure server pools • Manage the Oracle VM Agent• Checking the status of guests, server, and server pools: • Get a list of running guests in server pool • Get a list of active pool servers • Diagnose and troubleshoot issues with guests, servers, and server pools • Get configuration and status information for guests, servers and server pools• Performing bulk operations: • multiple guests, multiple servers, multiple server pools

Guest VM High Availability Auto Restart• Automatic restart of failed VMs across the pool • Server failure (all VMs restarted) • Individual VM failure• Reliable restart based on proven Oracle Clusterware technology • Sophisticated heartbeat and lock management • Reliable failure detection and corruption prevention• Maximize up-time without complexity of traditional HA clustering • Cost-effective solution • No guest VM agents or modifications required

Guest VM High Availability Secure Live Migration (Uninterrupted Service)• Industry First: • Encrypted Live Migration by Default VM Secure Live Migration (SSL) VM VM • No additional hardware Oracle VM Server Pool required • Eliminates requirement for dedicated network Oracle VM Servers• Other products migrate VM data in the clear NAS, SAN, iSCSI • Requires dedicated network • Leaves sensitive data vulnerable (passwords, account numbers, etc.)• More secure, more flexible

Anatomy of an Oracle VM Server Key Concepts: Dom0 & DomU• “Dom0” is a privileged management and control domain typically containing… dom0 domU domU • A thin control kernel based on Oracle Oracle EL-based Enterprise Linux Mgmt & Control Domain Workload Workload • Open / native Linux device drivers Apps, etc. Apps, etc. XMLrpc • Oracle VM Manager agent ssl Mgr Agent • Device emulation code to support Guest OS Guest OS non-PV guests (e.g. Windows) Device• Dom0 should not contain „user‟ Emulation HV Guest VM PV Guest VM (for HVM) applications as a best practice Hypercall API Native Device • Minimize performance & security risks Drivers (for PV) Xen.org-based Hypervisor • Minimize code size• “DomU” is an unprivileged/user X86/64 Bare-Metal Server domain that is a guest VM on the server • Run any normal server workload • One domU is not aware of another

Oracle VM Performance Testing• Extensive real-world testing • Internally • 3rd party• Two levels of characterization: • LMbench: microbenchmarking • Context switching, Null calls, TCP Selects, etc • Swingbench: DB workload benchmarking Workload • Varying SGA size, # of users, # of vCPUs • Typical OLTP workloads OS• Results: Virtualization • On average three times less overhead compared server Bare Metal virtualization products from other vendors. Hardware • Virtual SMP scalability of Oracle VM is at 90+%• Open source benchmark tools • Replicate with your configuration & products

3rd Party Performance Validation: Kernel Level•Kernel-leveloverhead &performanceessentially thesame as bare-metal (LMbench)

3rd Party Performance Validation: Application / Database Level • Very good scalability when adding VMs • Lower perf. cost to consolidation Very low overheadunder load: 6.4 - 7.5%

Oracle VM: Proven DeploymentsAcross Multiple Industries "Oracle VM was a better option because VMware was cost-prohibitive for us, as was Citrix XenServer. We had already made a substantial investment in Oracle, and they offered us a much better deal than either of the others.” - Nicholas Tang, VP of technical operations, Interactive One LLC 28 October, 2008 University of Massachusetts CTO Michael Poole said that Oracle [VM] "solution best supports the universitys requirements for on-demand availability of applications and database services.” 23 September 2008
