Five Ways to Fix Your Oracle Dev-Test Problems
The document outlines five strategies to address Oracle development and test copy inefficiencies, including leveraging flash storage and automating copy creation and delivery. It highlights the challenges posed by excessive copy data leading to storage overhead and stale data. By implementing these solutions, organizations can optimize their Oracle environments and improve operational efficiency.

- 4. The Current OracleCopy Data Environment Too many copies, delivered too late, left around too long 4 Typical Production Oracle Data Set Analytics & Reporting 2 to 4 Full Copies6 to 8 Full Copies Development & Operations Backup DR Dev/Test QA Training DevOps Sandbox Patch Management Etc. Copy Delivery: 1 to 4 Weeks Stale data! Stale data! And this is just one application Copy statistics from IDC
- 5. Real World CopyExample: Oracle deployment Copy inefficiency at global bank 5 Every 20 TB of Oracle production storage… 10 TB 10 TB Initiates purchase of 340 additional TB for copies 1700% copy overhead!
- 6. 6 Five Ways to SolveYour Oracle Dev-Test Problems No way! Way!
- 7. 7 Way 1 Get SomeFlash Storage Already If you get it for anything, get it for Oracle
- 8. 8 All-Flash Volume Flash Snapshot Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload This not onlysaves a ton of storage space, but it dramatically changes the economics of your flash purchase (yes, you CAN afford it) Flash lets you use one snapshot to run multiple workloads
- 9. 9 Way 2 Stop Using BackupSoftware to Make Copies Use Storage Copy Features
- 10. Backup Repository Storage Snapshot Accessing Data isFast Workload Storage Workload Server Copying Data is Slow Long wait times High system impact Near instant access Minimal system impact
- 11. 11 Way 3 Automate Copy Creation CopyData Management is Your Friend
- 12. Catalogic ECX: CompleteOracle Copy Automation Create Copies Track Copies Refresh Copies Use Copies Mask Copies RMAN & DevOps Snapshots, Clones, Replication Catalog Automated DR and Dev-Test refresh Spin up Clones Spin Up Systems Keep information secure Integration with your favorite tools 12

- 14. 14 Automated Copy Delivery WhatHow Map servers to data copies Most recent copy or earlier Spin up systems from copies Compute, Networking, Data Automatically, via scheduling Push button, on demand as needed
- 15. 15 Way 5 Consider User SelfService Give the People What They Want
- 16. 16 Get IT outof the copy delivery process Users get data & systems whenever they need them (but IT keeps control) Provide service catalog of copy offerings to users Get Your Copies Here! DBAs Dev Teams Training Testers User Self-Service for Data & Systems

Editor's Notes
- #13 This slide provides an easy view of all the different ways Catalogic handles copies. For starters, it creates copies, snapshots, replicas and clones. As copies are created they can be tracked in the ECX catalog. Copies can be refreshed automatically, so users always have access to the latest data copies. This is very useful for automating disaster recovery, driving dev-test and so on. Catalogic also lets you use the copies in many ways, from mapping LUNs to spinning up complete systems. You can transition copies, such as from test to production. And finally, very important – ECX helps you clean up copies to avoid sprawl and wasted capacity.
