Data Center:
• Exadata
• Exalogic
• SuperCluster
Remote Deployment
CoD, Compact Footprint and Ease of Management: Save CapEx and OpEx
Distributed:
• Branch Offices
• Departments
Motivation:
• Local regulations
• Reduce latency
28

Remote Deployment
• Duplicating main datacenter Exadata deployment is often not affordable for smaller
remote sites
– However, customers need to run the same applications and databases in those environments.
• Skill sets not available in many remote locations
• Creating and maintaining a highly available hardware and software configuration
• Managing the hardware and software remotely
• Data center space cost when charged by footprint or rack usage
• Aligning costs to demand
Customer Challenges
29

Remote Deployment
• Runs the same applications and databases as the central datacenter Exadata systems
• Highly available database and application platform out of the box, limits the skill levels
required at remote sites and reduces fault recovery
• Integrated Lights Out Management, automatic monitoring and call home support
enable remote management
• Compact footprint reduces datacenter charges
• Capacity On-Demand licensing enables you to align your costs to demand
– Start small and grow without replacing/upgrading hardware

• Each developer and tester needs their own environment to:
– Develop new offerings and features
– Test a new offering prior to going into production
– Test new feature enhancements prior to going into production
• Need a system to validate backup and recovery process and procedures
• Development and testing is an iterative process – many cycles, can be nightly
– Creating development environments and test environments takes time, storage and staff
• Need multiple copies of the database
• DBA time required to create and monitor creation of copies
– Low value use of DBA time
