Insights into Real-world Data Management ChallengesDataWorks Summit
Oracle began with the belief that the foundation of IT was managing information. The Oracle Cloud Platform for Big Data is a natural extension of our belief in the power of data. Oracle’s Integrated Cloud is one cloud for the entire business, meeting everyone’s needs. It’s about Connecting people to information through tools which help you combine and aggregate data from any source.
This session will explore how organizations can transition to the cloud by delivering fully managed and elastic Hadoop and Real-time Streaming cloud services to built robust offerings that provide measurable value to the business. We will explore key data management trends and dive deeper into pain points we are hearing about from our customer base.
Organizations looking to the cloud now have more vendor offerings and architecture choices available to them than ever before. In order to correctly select and implement the most appropriate cloud based DBMS architecture for their shops, technology pros must create and execute a well-thought out, detailed analysis of the competing offerings.
In addition, they must consider the impact cloud based DBMS systems, like any new architecture, will have on their support environment. Changes to policies and procedures, security controls, staff roles and responsibilities, change management processes and support documentation must be evaluated.

Is cloud and NDT a good mix? NDT has its own specificity. Clouds can truly simplify the file management, but is any cloud solution adapted for the NDT? For example, Dropbox may not work right out of the box for our market. This presentation highlights different avenues about clouds (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS); and highlights NDT critical requirements (constraints and needs). A list of different levels of cloud services (component, option, security, ...) will be defined. It is important to remember that private and public servers are 2 possible avenues. NDT was an early user of private servers even before it was called a cloud. Overall the main idea is to optimize the operation process to reduce OPEX and to increase availability and accuracy of data.

Reduce Cost by Tuning Queries on Azure DBaaSDatavail
Poorly written queries on on-premise servers slow down the server performance.But in the case of Azure SQL database, those queries not only degrade the application performance but also cost money. When you tune queries in Azure SQL Database, you may benefit from reducing resource demands as your application might run at a lower compute size and then eventually you can reduce cost.
In any given SQL Server instance, there are likely 8 to 10 queries or stored procedures that are responsible for 80 to 90 percent of the server load. If you can identify these problem queries and tune them, you can make a significant impact on the overall performance of your database. This presentation will explain some simple techniques of tuning the queries and will demonstrate before and after performance differences.

This shouldn’t stop you from doing a pre-flight check to ensure that all your Hyperion systems are running properly and set for you and your end users.
Let’s talk about some different strategies to achieve this and give you the confidence in your systems so that you can know when things are running well—or more importantly, when they need attention before takeoff.
In this presentation, we will do assess the on-premises environment and determining what workloads and databases are ready to make the move and what can you do to improve their Azure readiness while reducing downtime during the migration. Planning and assessment plays a critical role in moving to the cloud. We would see wide range of resources and tools to get an assessment completed with ease while identifying workload dependencies with practical tips and tricks focusing on sizing and costs. And finally, we’ll assess the SQL instances and identify their readiness for Azure as well.

Empowering the Data Analytics Ecosystem: A Laser Focus on Value
The data analytics ecosystem thrives when every component functions at its peak, unlocking the true potential of data. Here's a laser focus on key areas for an empowered ecosystem:
1. Democratize Access, Not Data:
Granular Access Controls: Provide users with self-service tools tailored to their specific needs, preventing data overload and misuse.
Data Catalogs: Implement robust data catalogs for easy discovery and understanding of available data sources.
2. Foster Collaboration with Clear Roles:
Data Mesh Architecture: Break down data silos by creating a distributed data ownership model with clear ownership and responsibilities.
Collaborative Workspaces: Utilize interactive platforms where data scientists, analysts, and domain experts can work seamlessly together.
3. Leverage Advanced Analytics Strategically:
AI-powered Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like data cleaning and feature engineering, freeing up data talent for higher-level analysis.
Right-Tool Selection: Strategically choose the most effective advanced analytics techniques (e.g., AI, ML) based on specific business problems.
4. Prioritize Data Quality with Automation:
Automated Data Validation: Implement automated data quality checks to identify and rectify errors at the source, minimizing downstream issues.
Data Lineage Tracking: Track the flow of data throughout the ecosystem, ensuring transparency and facilitating root cause analysis for errors.
5. Cultivate a Data-Driven Mindset:
Metrics-Driven Performance Management: Align KPIs and performance metrics with data-driven insights to ensure actionable decision making.
Data Storytelling Workshops: Equip stakeholders with the skills to translate complex data findings into compelling narratives that drive action.
Benefits of a Precise Ecosystem:
Sharpened Focus: Precise access and clear roles ensure everyone works with the most relevant data, maximizing efficiency.
Actionable Insights: Strategic analytics and automated quality checks lead to more reliable and actionable data insights.
Continuous Improvement: Data-driven performance management fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Sustainable Growth: Empowered by data, organizations can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth and innovation.
By focusing on these precise actions, organizations can create an empowered data analytics ecosystem that delivers real value by driving data-driven decisions and maximizing the return on their data investment.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

FaaS – Function-as-a-Service
This is a future option
Buy only what you use
Channel by Channel, instead of cable or dish lineup
SaaS – Software-as-a-Service
Bundled functions into a service
Application that is developed/ported into a shared
infrastructure model
Data, applications are typically stored outside your
firewall
15. www.datavail.com 15
PaaS
Think of this like an SDK (Please don’t shoot me for the
over-simplification)
Develop, run, and manage applications without needing
to manage the infrastructure
Plug-and-play modules to enhance capabilities quickly
Used to enhance or extend SaaS solutions
Also sometimes used to describe on-prem applications
on IaaS
Platform-as-a-Service
16. www.datavail.com 16
DBaaS – Database-as-a-Service
Quickly stand up a database, create some tables and
upload data
IaaS – Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Think servers
Bare metal options
Pre-build OS
Get a desktop or server up and running quickly
17. www.datavail.com 17
Hosting
Putting your on-premises
server/DB/app onto someone
else's hardware
Could be a virtual or physical
move
Could be a rack, or a VM
Third party that you contract to manage
your server, DB, application, services
etc.
Some of these work together, others
build on one another

Which to use?
When the off-the-shelf product will meet your needs
Commodity services
Limited or no customizations
Extensions ok (PaaS)
Operating budget is available
CapEx is not available
Limited interfaces, self-contained business processes
SaaS
19. www.datavail.com 19
Can be in your cloud, or a provider
Quick deployments
Avoids expensive or complex architecture
Convention tools may be limited
Which to use?
PaaS
20. www.datavail.com 20
Major players are Oracle, Amazon, Google, Microsoft
Provides a server (may contain OS, web server etc)
Workloads are quite variable
• High usage for short periods of time
• Can be turned off at night, weekends, outside peak
periods
Need quick provisioning
User self service
Which to use?
IaaS
21. www.datavail.com 21
Decision Matrix SaaS
Can business processes be changed to conform
to the application?
Standard processes across the globe
Limited interfaces/data loads
Reporting needs are minimal
Do you own your data? Can you locally store it
later?
22. www.datavail.com 22
Decision Matrix IaaS
A set of questions to help understand the workload
being considered
Not all workloads are suitable for the cloud
Best to derive a formula to determine suitability
Based on workload, costs, availability, need to flex
CPU, memory, storage
23. www.datavail.com 23
Decision Matrix Hosting
Can the service be provided outside of your data
center?
Allow providers to clone/backup/test DR
Many will include BIOS, OS, Java patching
Ability to grow and shrink CPU, memory, storage
needs
Data location/data privacy concerns
24. www.datavail.com 24
Decision Matrix AMS
Many times hosting/AMS can be combined for
cost savings
May include application/database level patching
Concerns about who has access to the data
Cloning of complex applications like EBS
Provide Level 1 and Level 2 support
More team focused on enhancement backlog
25. www.datavail.com 25
Workloads are high and consistent
Considerable customization or
extensions are needed
Legal/compliance reasons around
requiring data stored on site
You have the staff and expertise to
support it
Existing software licenses are already
paid for
Workload Considerations
May be best to wait for next upgrade
cycle
Business processes are not
standardized
Capital vs Operating expense
Cloud is not always the cheapest
Those were ‘Cloud’ options. On-premises is better when:
26. www.datavail.com 26
Extras to
consider
Backups
Who is responsible for the backups
BR/DR – how are your backups tested
Storage and retrieval needs
High Availability – Can you staff and afford clusters, RAC,
etc?
Cloning – creating dev/test environments
Encryption – many providers include encryption in their
offerings
Testing – do you have a testing solution or strategy?
27. www.datavail.com 27
Compliance
Issues
Multi-tenant Concerns
• Are you sharing hardware, data bases?
Data Privacy – is the data PII, PCI, HIPAA?
Data Location
• Moving to a data center down the street
• May not be that simple for compliance
• Contracts are often written with language:
• Internal data stores
• Specific addresses
• “Owned” by company
28. www.datavail.com 28
What have
we seen…
One size does not fit all
Workloads were a small consideration
Application affinity is a larger consideration
Product maturity was a large driver
Willingness of the business to change processes
to comply
Misunderstanding of what cloud providers actually
provide
Management tools across solutions are lacking
29. www.datavail.com 29
If you are using HR Modules
HR/HCM
Many complex integrations, best of breed
Oracle HCM product very mature
• Exception payroll – outsource that
Moving module by module
• Time and labor
• Recruitment
• Compensation
• Benefit tracking
Working to establish core HR
SaaS is commonly the direction
30. www.datavail.com 30
If you are using Finance
Accounting (AR/AP/GL) Planning
and Budgeting
Cloud offerings in subledger and project
accounting are not there yet
EPM products have matured a lot in the past
year
Many integrations - reporting needs are
huge
Steady workloads
Iaas/Hosting/AMS is commonly the direction
31. www.datavail.com 31
If you are using
Manufacturing
Manufacturing/Logistics
If core to your business
• Customizations are your differentiator
• Iaas/Hosting/AMS is the direction
If not core to your business
• Look for operational cost savings
• Leverage new features/capabilities as
deployed
• SaaS is the direction
32. www.datavail.com 32
In Summary
Be sure to understand which XaaS
makes sense, and maybe none do!
Understand your workload
List out the extras that come with
the service, not just the functionality
Compliance issues - think like a
lawyer
Quick overview of expectations of this presentations. We are not going to provide a specific plan for your project, each project is different. We cannot cover all areas of reporting hierarchies, but I wanted to share a few key areas that tend not to get as much focus as they should, and results in issues down the road.
This experience spans many different “Major” applications listed here from my own personal experiences as a user, developer, DBA, BA, PM, and executive sponsor over the past 20 years.
As mentioned, we are not endorsing this as a blueprint for success, but rather suggestions on key activities you need to keep focus on
