Huawei's OceanStor Dorado V3 all-flash storage system delivers high performance, reliability, and efficiency for mission-critical databases through its FlashLink and HyperMetro technologies, providing sub-millisecond latency and 99.9999% availability. It satisfies the requirements of database services and virtualization through its data reduction, high performance online deduplication and compression. For Oracle OLTP workloads, it can provide over 210,000 IOPS at 0.5ms latency, is 1.5 times faster than other all-flash arrays, and reduces Oracle licensing costs by around 50% through lower CPU usage.

1. All Flash Storage Built for Database Acceleration Scenario
Purpose-built for mission-critical businesses, OceanStor Dorado V3 all flash
storage system delivers high performance, reliability, and efficiency
augmented by FlashLink technology.
 Innovative FlashLink technology: enables 0.5 ms stable latency
and 3-fold better storage performance than that of traditional
storage.
 Gateway-free active-active solution with extremely low
latency: HyperMetro technology provides solution-level 99.9999%
availability with 1ms latency.
 High-performance online deduplication and compression
technology: helps Huawei storage claim 3:1 data reduction
guarantee (depending on application and configuration) and
maintain high performance.
Huawei OceanStor Dorado V3 fully satisfies the high performance
requirements of mission-critical database services and virtualization efforts,
smoothing the way for customers in finance, manufacturing, telecom, and
other sectors in the all-flash era.
Database acceleration scenario (Oracle OLTP)
Oracle database hardware applications are the most widely used series by
large enterprises. However, today's information explosion poses great
challenges to the performance and costs of Oracle systems.
1. Stacking of devices
Large e-commerce and banking systems process more than 100 million
transactions per day. Core business systems perform in excess of 200,000
IOPS while keeping the latency within only 1 to 3 ms. However, traditional
storage systems simply stack more devices to achieve increases in
performance.

2. 2. Business continuity
Oracle OLTP carries mission-critical businesses for enterprises, remaining
unchanged pursuit of business continuity.
3. Increasing costs for Oracle licensing
Oracle licensing costs account for a significant portion of the O&M costs in
enterprise IT systems. For example, a database with 10 TB of capacity could
cost an enterprise as much as 50% of its yearly maintenance budget. As data
volumes increase, the annual licensing costs would also continue to rise.
Reducing the licensing costs for Oracle applications is a top concern for
enterprises.
Not having enough storage performance could stunt the growth of the
enterprise, while not having disaster recovery capabilities in place could
jeopardize the entire operation.
Huawei Dorado provides high performance, robust continuity assurances,
and reduced TCO, ensuring the mission-critical OLTP services of the
enterprise remain online while adding new degrees of efficiency in
operations.
Huawei all-flash Oracle database (OLTP) solution
The intense performance of the Huawei all flash storage solution powered on
OceanStor Dorado V3 doubles online transaction efficiency while keeping
latency down to a stable 0.5 ms, minimizing wait times, and improving
resource utilization of storage and server assets. Many enterprises have seen
a 50% reduction in Oracle licensing costs. The scale-out layout allows for
easy, linear expansion. Capacity increases are predictable and scale-outs can
be implemented in nearly no time, allaying enterprise concerns over the
unpredictability factors in service growth. The Huawei offerings going into
the solution provide a rich catalog of data protection services, ensuring that
mission-critical applications remain online 24/7.
Highlights

3. 1. More than 1.5 times faster performance than that of other
all-flash storage
After tested by using the simulated system for Oracle database online
transaction, a dual-controller OceanStor Dorado V3 system can provide
stable performance of 210, 000 IOPS at 0.5 ms latency, 10 times higher than
that of traditional storage and 1.5 times than that of XtremIO X2.
2. High performance DR solution
OceanStor Dorado V3 with the active-active HyperMetro gateway-free
feature enabled achieves 99.9999% high availability for mission-critical
businesses, it can provide the industry's lowest latency of 1ms. In addition,
the active-active architecture is able to balance loads and execute seamless
service switching.
3. Lower Oracle licensing costs
The ultra-low latency on Dorado V3 reduces the wait time for CPU I/Os and
effectively lowers CPU usage. Under the same workload, using less CPU
resources helps increase processing speeds and lower Oracle licensing fees.
As the figure shows, compared to traditional storage, OceanStor Dorado V3
storage reduces the CPU usage by about 50%.
