ADV Slides: When and How Data Lakes Fit into a Modern Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Whether to take data ingestion cycles off the ETL tool and the data warehouse or to facilitate competitive Data Science and building algorithms in the organization, the data lake – a place for unmodeled and vast data – will be provisioned widely in 2020.
Though it doesn’t have to be complicated, the data lake has a few key design points that are critical, and it does need to follow some principles for success. Avoid building the data swamp, but not the data lake! The tool ecosystem is building up around the data lake and soon many will have a robust lake and data warehouse. We will discuss policy to keep them straight, send data to its best platform, and keep users’ confidence up in their data platforms.
Data lakes will be built in cloud object storage. We’ll discuss the options there as well.

ADV Slides: Platforming Your Data for Success – Databases, Hadoop, Managed Ha...DATAVERSITY
Thirty years is a long time for a technology foundation to be as active as relational databases. Are their replacements here? In this webinar, we say no.
Databases have not sat around while Hadoop emerged. The Hadoop era generated a ton of interest and confusion, but is it still relevant as organizations are deploying cloud storage like a kid in a candy store? We’ll discuss what platforms to use for what data. This is a critical decision that can dictate two to five times additional work effort if it’s a bad fit.
Drop the herd mentality. In reality, there is no “one size fits all” right now. We need to make our platform decisions amidst this backdrop.
This webinar will distinguish these analytic deployment options and help you platform 2020 and beyond for success.
Oracle in the 2014 edition of its Open World rolled out new database public cloud service with its DBaaS offerings, but this is just a piece in each company's technological architecture. Businesses still have the need to create a Private cloud and discover the driver to create it; Wether it is a measured service,consolidation or rapid provisioning, finding this driver will be the initial building block for it. This presentation will give you an insight on how a Private Cloud is architected, how the service catalog is the most important brick and how get the benefit of this upcoming era of Databases.

14. History of Exadata
Fastest database server on the planet
• Oracle launched Exadata at OpenWorld 2008 in
San Francisco. The hardware was manufactured
and supported by HP.
• April 2009 – Oracle bought Sun Microsystems.
• January 2010 - Oracle announced Exadata X2 on
Sun based hardware.
• August 2011 - Oracle announced Exadata
availability with Solaris (in addition to OEL –
Oracle Enterprise Linux).
• October 1st, 2012 Oracle announced Exadata X3
16. Key Features of Exadata Database Machine
• Exadata Smart Flash Cache
– High-performance cache for frequently accessed objects
– Frequently accessed data and index blocks are cached.
– Control file reads and writes are cached.
– File header reads and writes are cached.
– DBA can influence caching priorities.
• ALTER TABLE customers STORAGE (CELL_FLASH_CACHE
KEEP)
17. Key Features of Exadata Database Machine
• Offloading / Smart Scan
– cell_offload_processing=TRUE
• Predicate Filtering:
– Only the requested rows are returned to the
database server
• Column Filtering:
– Only the requested columns are returned to the
database
• Exadata Storage Index
– Storage regions of 1MB
• Region Index
19. Classic Database I/O and SQL Processing
1. The client issues a SELECT statement with a
predicate to filter a table and return only the rows
of interest to the user.
2. The database kernel maps this request to the file
and extents containing the table.
3. The database kernel issues the I/Os to read all the
table blocks.
4. All the blocks for the table being queried are read
into memory.
5. SQL processing is conducted against the data
blocks searching for the rows that satisfy the
predicate.
6. The required rows are returned to the client.
21. Exadata Smart Scan
1. The client issues a SELECT statement to return some rows
of interest.
2. The database kernel determines that the data is stored on
Exadata cells so an iDB command representing the SQL
command is constructed and sent to the Exadata cells.
3. The Exadata Storage Server software scans the data blocks
to extract the relevant rows and columns that satisfy the
SQL command.
4. Exadata cells return to the database instance iDB
messages containing the requested rows and columns of
data. These results are not block images, so they are not
stored in the buffer cache.
5. The database kernel consolidates the result sets from
across all the Exadata cells.
6. The rows are returned to the client.
32. Test/Development environment for Exadata.
• Two servers with OEL were configured with Oracle 11.2 RAC
• Configured OFM 11.1.1.6 on a new server.
