The Public Internet
When we think of cloud, we think of public internet
Its invention was an amazing feat of
network engineering
• Ubiquity: reach anywhere from anywhere
• Resiliency: rerouting and retransmission
Public internet not designed for all cloud use:
• Optimized for network operator, not the customer
• Security: shared network inherently not secure
• Throughput: large volumes of data require high bandwidth not typically on corporate IP service
• Speed & consistency: transmission across multiple networks, varying loads on shared capacity
• Cost: use of IP service beyond commit levels may drive unplanned & unnecessary costs

Leading IT Analysts Recognize Role of Cloud Interconnection
• Cloud networking challenges rank among
the top inhibitors to using public cloud
services, with 37% of enterprises ranking in
top 3 challenges
• Vertical-specific, mission-critical applications
running in the cloud provider's data centers
interact and interoperate with other
applications that reside in the customer's data
centers or a different cloud provider’s data
center
Source: Gartner, “How to Seize the Cloud Networking Service Opportunity,” Mar 2017
• By YE20, more than 30% of organizations
will connect to cloud providers using
alternatives to the public internet, which
is a major increase from 5% in 3Q17.

Introducing Oracle GoldenGate
The Solution for Enterprise-Wide Real-Time Data Needs

18. © 2018 Equinix Inc. Equinix.com 18
Design for Distributed Architecture using
Oracle GoldenGate
• Reducing network latency requires a local database in the
geographic region of the user
• Plan is to add two databases in APAC and EMEA
• GoldenGate seamlessly replicates data from three distributed
databases in AMER, EMEA and APAC and keeps them in sync
bidirectionally
• Deployments can be done when one region is offline without
affecting the other region (changes are synced)

19. © 2018 Equinix Inc. Equinix.com 19
Key take-aways
• Multiple geographic regions can have local databases to reduce
network latency and get data synced from other regions by using
GoldenGate in real time
• Deployment time can be reduced to near zero by having HA
database in read/write mode and pointing application server to it
while the primary database is being patched
• Deployments can be done in one region’s local database while it is
offline without affecting the other regions, and then later syncing
the changes
