38. Exadata Storage Features Exadata Smart Scans 10X or greater reduction in data sent to database servers Exadata Storage Indexes Eliminate unnecessary I/Os to disk Hybrid Columnar Compression Efficient compression increases user data scan rates Flash increases scan rates Flash cache removed spinning magnetic media bottleneck

39. Exadata Smart Storage Breaks Data Bandwidth and Random I/O Bottleneck Oracle addresses data bandwidth bottleneck in three ways Massively parallel storage grid of high performance Exadata storage servers (cells). Data bandwidth scales with data volume Data intensive processing runs in Exadata storage. Queries run in storage as data streams from disk, offloading database server CPUs Columnar compression reduces data volume up to 10x Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression provides 10x lower cost, 10x higher performance Oracle solves random I/O bottlenecks using Exadata Smart Flash Cache Increase random I/Os by factor of 20X Exadata Storage Cells

40. Exadata Smart Scans Exadata storage servers implement data intensive processing in storage Row filtering based on “where” predicate Column filtering Join filtering Incremental backup filtering Storage Indexing Scans on encrypted data Data Mining model scoring 10x reduction in data sent to DB servers is common No application changes needed Processing is automatic and transparent Even if cell or disk fails during a query New

41. Exadata Smart Scan Query Example Exadata Storage Grid Oracle Database Grid SUM Optimizer Chooses Partitions and Indexes to Access 10 TB scanned 1 MB returned to servers What were my sales yesterday? Select sum(sales) where Date=’24-Sept’ Scan compressed blocks in partitions/indexes Retrieve sales amounts for Sept 24

42. Exadata Storage Index Transparent I/O Elimination with No Overhead Exadata Storage Indexes maintain summary information about table data in memory Store MIN and MAX values of columns Typically one index entry for every MB of disk Eliminates disk I/Os if MIN and MAX can never match “where” clause of a query Completely automatic and transparent Min B = 1 Max B =5 Table Index Min B = 3 Max B =8 Select * from Table where B<2 - Only first set of rows can match A B C D 1 3 5 5 8 3

43. Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression Data is grouped by column and then compressed Query Mode for data warehousing Optimized for speed 10X compression typical Scans improve proportionally Archival Mode for infrequently accessed data Optimized to reduce space 15X compression is typical Up to 50X for some data 50X Up To New

44. Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression Warehousing and Archiving Warehouse Compression 10x average storage savings 10x Scan I/O reduction Archive Compression 15x average storage savings Up to 50x on some data Some access overhead For cold or historical data Optimized for Speed Optimized for Space Smaller Warehouse Faster Performance Reclaim 93% of Disks Keep Data Online Can mix compression types by partition for ILM

46. <Insert Picture Here> Exadata Flash Cache

47. The Disk Random I/O Bottleneck Disk drives hold vast amounts of data But are limited to about 300 I/Os per second Flash technology holds much less data But can run tens of thousands of I/Os per second Ideal Solution Keep most data on disk for low cost Transparently move hot data to flash Use flash cards instead of flash disks to avoid disk controller limitations Flash cards in Exadata storage High bandwidth, low latency interconnect 300 I/O per Sec Tens of Thousands of I/O’s per Second

48. Semiconductor Cache Hierarchy Massive throughput and IOs through innovative Cache Hierarchy Database DRAM Cache 400GB raw capacity Up to 4TB compressed user data 100 GB per sec Exadata Smart Flash Cache 5TB raw capacity Up to 50TB compressed user data 50 GB/sec raw scan 1 million I/O per sec Exadata disks 100TB or 336TB raw Up to 500TB compressed user data 21 GB/sec scan 50,000 I/O per sec

49. Exadata Smart Flash Cache Extreme Performance Database Machine achieves: 20x more random I/Os Over 1 million per second 2x faster sequential query I/O 50 GB/sec 10x better I/O response time Sub-millisecond Greatly Reduced Cost 10x fewer disks needed for I/O Lower Power 5X More I/Os than 1000 Disk Enterprise Storage Array

50. Exadata Flash Cache Extreme Performance for Random I/O Sun Oracle Database Machine has 5 TB of flash storage 4 high-performance flash cards in every Exadata Storage Server Smart Flash Cache caches hot data Not just simple LRU Knows when to avoid caching to avoid flushing cache Allows optimization by application table Oracle is the First Flash Optimized Database New
