6. SOA Services – Caching Service Data Background SOA solution, self-service portals, customer dashboards. Service implementation involves exposure and composition of services from underlying system e.g. CRM, device management. Data record obtained from customer is coarse grained and provides more data than fine grained application requirements. Challenge Avoid high latency on repeated calls for data which would impact customer service experience. Avoid development overheard of bespoke cache solution. Service Bus Portal Orchestration Engine Service Provider Service MySelfServPortal This is a very large piece of customer data that has to be obtained in one go from the system.

10. Coherence Overview

11. Oracle Coherence Data Grid Provides a reliable data tier with a single, consistent view of data Enables dynamic data capacity including fault tolerance and load balancing Ensures that data capacity scales with processing capacity Distributed in Memory Data Management Oracle Coherence Data Grid Mainframes Databases Web Services Enterprise Applications Real Time Clients Web Services Data Services

12. Oracle Coherence: Data Grid Uses Caching Applications request data from the Data Grid rather than backend data sources Analytics Applications ask the Data Grid questions from simple queries to advanced scenario modeling Transactions Data Grid acts as a transactional System of Record, hosting data and business logic Events Automated processing based on event

13. Coherence: A Unique Approach In Coherence… Members share responsibilities (health, services, data…) Completely Peer-to-Peer No Single Points of Bottleneck (SPOBs) No Single Points of Failure (SPOFs) Linearly scalable to hundreds of servers by design Servers form a full “mesh” No Masters / Slaves etc. Data Grid members work together as a team Communication is almost always point-to-point Designed for commodity switched infrastructures Scalable throughput up to the limit of the backplane

14. How Does Oracle Coherence Data Grid Work? Data load-balanced in-memory across a cluster of servers Data automatically and synchronously replicated to at least one other server for continuous availability Single System Image: Logical view of all data on all servers Servers monitor the health of each other In the event a server fails or is unhealthy, other servers cooperatively diagnose the state The healthy servers immediately assume the responsibilities of the failed server Continuous Operation: No interruption of service or loss of data due when a server fails ? X

15. Partitioned Topology : Data Access Data spread and backed up across Members Transparent to developer Members have access to all Data All Data locations are known – no lookup & no registry!

16. Partitioned Topology : Data Update Synchronous Update Avoids potential Data Loss & Corruption Predictable Performance Backup Partitions are partitioned away from Primaries for resilience No engineering requirement to setup Primaries or Backups Automatically and Dynamically Managed Write-behind

17. Partitioned Topology : Recovery Membership changes (new members added or members leaving) Other members, using consensus , recover and repartition automatically No in-flight operations lost, no availability gap! Some latencies (due to higher priority of asynchronous recovery) Information Reliability & Continuous Availability are the priorities

18. Read-Through & Write-Through Access to the data sources go through the Data Grid. Read and write operations are always managed by the node that owns the data within the Data Grid. Concurrent accesses are combined, greatly reducing database load. Write-Through keeps the in-memory data and the database in sync.

19. Write-Behind Write-Behind accepts data modifications directly into the Data Grid The modifications are then asynchronously written back to the data source, optionally after a specified delay All write-behind data is synchronously and redundantly managed, making it resilient to server failure

23. Coherence Use cases

24. Seamless Consolidation Data Grid Application Server Cluster with multiple JVMs / Managed Application Server Cluster with less members and data grid cluster connected Application data can overwhelm available server memory. Adding more application servers only compounds problem. Each app server requires fixed overhead. Memory management issues. Keep application data outside the application server. Instant 25% increase of users per WLS application. Scale application data linearly thru commodity hardware. Increase availability thru data redundancy. Challenges Benefits
