Riccardo Romani from Oracle Italy discusses migrating workloads to Oracle's SPARC Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Key points include: 1) Oracle offers an easy "lift and shift" migration of workloads to its SPARC Cloud IaaS using standard virtualization. 2) Customers gain access to additional Oracle Cloud services like databases, storage, analytics while Oracle handles operations and support. 3) Performance tests show SPARC Cloud delivers up to 1.6-6.1x better performance than AWS for various workloads due to hardware acceleration features.

• Virtualization does not reduce
application performance
– IO latency and CPU consumption is
negligible vs. non-virtualized
• Virtualization does not limit access
to Software-in-Silicon co-processor
features
– Cryptographic acceleration
– Silicon Secured Memory
– Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX)
– Wire-speed memory decompression

Tools
Transformational Migration to SPARC Cloud

13. Copyright © 2017 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Manage SPARC Cloud With Standard Tools
• Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
–Identical to on-premises deployments
–Manage database, middleware and
applications
–Plug-ins for Oracle Cloud Services support
• Current preferred standard tools may be
also used
–Script-based tools, Puppet, Chef, Ansible,
etc.
–Customer is responsible for integration

14. Copyright © 2017 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
SPARC Cloud Virtualization
• All SPARC servers/VMs should be
patched to the latest OS version patch
level prior to migration
• Multiple physical servers may be
consolidated on a single dedicated
SPARC host, if desired
– ‘Binary Compatibility Guarantee’
• Each VM may have dedicated vCPU
