Maximizing Oracle Database performance with Intel SSD DC P3600 Series NVMe SS...Principled Technologies
If your organization runs critical, high-demand databases in environments such as Oracle Database, strong performance is not an option: it’s a must-have. Additionally, getting that necessary strong performance out of a single server can be essential for running a space and cost-efficient datacenter. In the Principled Technologies labs, we found that the Dell PowerEdge R930 offered strong performance for such transactional databases when configured with SATA SSDs. When we upgraded the servers to Intel SSD DC P3600 Series NVMe SSDs, performance doubled, increasing by 2.17 times, or 117 percent. If your datacenter needs a new powerhouse server, purchasing your Dell PowerEdge R930 with Intel NVMe SSDs for a cost increase of only 18 percent can double the performance you get from each server. This increases what your infrastructure can do within the same amount of space and lets you ultimately save money that would otherwise be spent purchasing additional servers and software.

The new Dell PowerEdge R920 provides strong performance in its base configuration with 24 SAS hard disks, but this performance gets an enormous boost when running the configuration containing NVMe Express Flash PCIe SSDs. In our testing, the upgraded configuration of the Dell PowerEdge R920 delivered 14.9 times the database performance of the base configuration. In addition, in testing the raw I/O throughput of the NVMe Express Flash PCIe SSDs, we saw as much as 192.8 times the IOPS as compared to the base configuration. Given that the storage subsystem is critical in servers and specifically database applications, the performance improvements offered by NVMe Express Flash PCIe SSDs can lead to great service improvements for your customers, making this upgrade a very wise investment.
Handle transaction workloads and data mart loads with better performancePrincipled Technologies
Database work is a big deal—in terms of its importance to your company, and the sheer magnitude of the work. Our tests with the Dell EMC PowerEdge R930 server and Unity 400F All-Flash storage array demonstrated that it could perform comparably to an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server and 3PAR array during OLTP workloads, with a better compression ratio (3.2-to-1 vs. 1.3-to-1). For loading large sets of data, the Dell EMC Unity finished 22 percent faster than the HPE 3PAR, which can result in less hassle for the administrator in charge of data marts. When running both OLTP and data mart workloads in tandem, the Unity array outperformed the HPE 3PAR in terms of orders processed per minute by 29 percent.

Backing up data is a key component in data protection. However, long backup windows can cause headaches for IT and users while slowing down the network. We found that using source-side deduplication and Rapid CIFS technology to back up data to the Dell DR6000 Disk Backup Appliance was faster—with the average rate of data backup at 8.99 TB per hour. The backup to the DR6000 completed in two-thirds the time that the backup to the industry-leading deduplication appliance completed. Backing up to the DR6000 consumed less than one-sixth the bandwidth needed to back up to the industry-leading deduplication appliance. In addition, the DR6000 needed less rack space and cost a third less than the competition. The solution to lengthy backup windows is clear: Save time and network bandwidth with source-side deduplication built into the Dell DR6000 Disk Backup Appliance.
Slow performance and unavailable critical applications can impinge a company’s progress. You can apply patches and updates to improve application quality and user experience, but these changes need to be tested in resource-intensive environments before deployment. Keeping these applications accessing data is vital, too, as on-premises events can put availability at risk.
Our Dell EMC VMAX 250F and PowerEdge server solution supported test/dev environments and production database applications simultaneously without affecting the production applications’ performance. As we added VMs designed for test/dev environments, the production workload maintained an acceptable level of IOPS and achieved an average storage latency of less than a millisecond. The solution also kept data highly available with no downtime and no performance drop when we initiated a lost host connection for the primary storage. To run critical database applications of your company, consider the Dell EMC VMAX 250F for your datacenter.
By upgrading from the legacy solution we tested to the new Intel processor-based Dell and VMware solution, you could do 18 times the work in the same amount of space. Imagine what that performance could mean to your business: Consolidate workloads from across your company, lower your power and cooling bills, and limit datacenter expansion in the future, all while maintaining a consistent user experience—the list of potential benefits is huge.
Try running DPACK, which can help you identify bottlenecks in your environment and inform you about your current performance needs. Then consider how the consolidation ratio we proved could be helpful for your company. The Intel processor-powered Dell PowerEdge R730 solution with VMware vSphere and Dell Storage SC4020, also powered by Intel, could be the right destination for your upgrade journey.

While apps may display several symptoms indicative of slow or erratic response after being virtualized, the problem boils down to contention for shared storage resources; contention
that did not occur when the apps had the storage all to themselves.
These so called “bottlenecks” occur in spurts as application requests collide randomly, resulting in spikes of sluggish, unpredictable latency. The more frequent, the greater the
users’ dissatisfaction. You may recall that one of the primary reasons these business critical apps were originally
sequestered on separate physical machines was to avoid such collisions

Efficient and scalable multitenant placement approach for in memory database ...CSITiaesprime
Of late Multitenant model with In-Memory database has become prominent area for research. The paper has used advantages of multitenancy to reduce the cost for hardware, labor and make availability of storage by sharing database memory and file execution. The purpose of this paper is to give overview of proposed Supple architecture for implementing in-memory database backend and multitenancy, applicable in public and private cloud settings. Backend in memory database uses column-oriented approach with dictionary based compression technique. We used dedicated sample benchmark for the workload processing and also adopt the SLA penalty model. In particular, we present two approximation algorithms, multi-tenant placement (MTP) and best-fit greedy to show the quality of tenant placement. The experimental results show that MTP algorithm is scalable and efficient in comparison with best-fit greedy algorithm over proposed architecture.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
