This document provides an overview of Oracle's product direction for tiered storage solutions. It discusses trends like massive data growth that are forcing customers to rethink data management and adopt tiered storage strategies. Oracle's solutions are intended to optimize data protection and archival by matching the cost of storage to the use and value of information through the use of flash, disk, and tape technologies arranged in a tiered architecture. The document highlights benefits like the lowest total cost of ownership.

…And Storage Requirements are Changing
• 80+% of data is unstructured (video, image, etc)

• Storage consumes ~40% of data center power & is the
fastest growing consumer (20% CAGR), disk
subsystems contribute 80%
2,3
• Majority of data in product environments is stale, 80% is
never looked at again

• Requests for 100 year Archive and ILM deployments
have tripled

11. Technology Price per GB Predictions
Tape‟s Cost Advantage Is Increasing

12. Oracle’s Tiered ArchitectureDisk-Only Architecture
• Including tape reduces average cost/GB by 46%!1
• Even SATA disk is 23x more expensive than tape2
• Factoring in media lifespan improves TCO even more - disk (5-7 years) vs tape
(15-30 years) 3
• Operational savings of tape are unsurpassed – disk costs 290x more in energy
• 5x long-term cost advantage per TB on tape even vs. data deduplication!4

“Our return on investment is
instant, because it would have
cost us $14 million to make
videotape copies. The Sun
solution is saving us $6 million.
We plan to completely replace
and recycle existing tapes every
three years, and even doing that,
this solution is far less expensive
than any other."

Ideas International (Sep. 2009)
“The SL8500 that we have today is the
maximum in a single frame, but the SL8500
works where you can stack them side by side
and the (tape) can actually go from one frame
to another,” State of Tennessee’s Max Arnold
said. “So it’s hugely scalable.”

Database Backup

20. • Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is the Oracle-preferred
method for efficiently backing up and recovering Oracle
databases
• Reduces exposure of data loss for Oracle database environments
• RMAN backup to disk provides faster restore
• It’s already built into the Oracle Database
• Cost Effective, no extra licences to buy
• No third party technology to purchase and coordinate
• Ensures transaction integrity and manages all information required for
database recovery at any point in time
• RMAN copies only database blocks that have changed since
previous backup
• Up to an order of magnitude reduction in backup and recovery times
• Significantly improved Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Service Levels
Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN)
Oracle Database Integrated Backup and Recovery

21. • Simplifies all of the different operations, copies, and locations of files
• Assists in keeping track of the state of all these various backup
images as well as their locations
• Assists in making the decision that particular backup information
has become obsolete and can therefore be safely retired
• Makes recovery for the DBA much simpler since RMAN keeps track
of all of the files required for recovery operations

27. RMAN + SAM
Infinite Capacity Flashback Recovery Area
• Backups:
• RMAN backups written to SAM disk cache
• SAM policies select the appropriate files
• SAM releases disk space for easier disk management
• Restores:
• Files RMAN selects that were migrated to tape SAM stages to the disk cache
• Long-term Retention:
• Utilize BACKUP…KEEP to create an RMAN copy that will be retained outside of the backup policy
for long-term retention
• SAM also manage Flashback and Archive Redo Logs
