Agenda
• Business Drivers and Challenges
• DR for Oracle Fusion Middleware
with the ZFS Storage Appliance Overview
• Support Services
• Next Steps

3. Business Drivers and Challenges
Why Customers are focused on Disaster Recovery
• Increasing sensitivity to downtime and data loss
• Due to the cost of downtime, recovering in 48 to 72 hours and losing 8 hours or
more of critical corporate information is no longer acceptable
• Companies now measure recovery time and recovery point requirements in
hours, and in some cases, minutes
• DR has expanded to ensure comprehensive IT service continuity
• Disasters are not rare because most are caused by mundane events such as
power failures, IT failures, human error, and localized flooding
• Increasing pressure from internal and external stakeholders
•Board members, auditors, regulatory agencies,
strategic partners, and customers demand proof
of DR preparedness
•DR preparedness is now considered a fiduciary
responsibility between an organization and
its stakeholders

4. Oracle Fusion Middleware
• Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) is the foundation for the Oracle
application infrastructure, which enables business applications to be
created and run efficiently across the enterprise
• Oracle's FMW disaster recovery solution protects the infrastructure and
provides business continuity during a planned or unplanned event

5. The Sun ZFS Storage Appliance
• Combines multiple protocol connectivity, data services for business
continuity, and ease of management into a single appliance
• Remote replication, snapshots and cloning enable complete disaster
recovery (DR) and business continuity
• Remote Replication
• Data is replicated from the primary to the standby site, with data
blocks asynchronously streamed to the remote storage appliance
• Scheduled Replication - The user can define a schedule for the
replication to occur automatically
• Continuous Replication - The replication process
happens continuously without intervention

6. DR for Fusion Middleware with ZFS Storage Appliance
• The ZFS Storage Appliance compliments the DR capabilities of
Data Guard for the Oracle Database
• The ZFS Storage Appliance easily administers replication for
Fusion Middleware data stored outside of the Oracle Database
• Tested, validated, and supported by Oracle

7. DR for Fusion Middleware with ZFS Storage Appliance
Solution Description
• The ZFS Storage is simply added to the customer’s existing
environment – no rip-n-replace needed
• Shell scripts automate and coordinate ZFS Storage and Data Guard
failover and failback

12. Deployment
• Use Sun ZFS Storage Appliance to replicate all non-database content to
ensure a small RTO and RPO for the Oracle Fusion Middleware
environment
• For high availability, deploy clustered Sun ZFS Storage Appliances
• NFS protocol is preferred for the FMW deployments for the ease of
deployment and maintenance
• Use mirrored configuration for optimal performance and availability
• Store all the non-database FMW infrastructure within a project and
replicate the project

13. Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture MAA Best
Practices for Oracle FMW DR Configuration and
Deployment
• Use the Scheduled mode of replication for a typical Oracle FMW DR
deployment - MAA recommends 1 synch/week
• Snapshots and clones can be used at the target site to offload backup,
test, and development types of environment
• Configure Oracle Data Guard with the “Maximum Availability” option, to
enable the standby database to be almost synchronized with the primary

Benefits

15. DR for Fusion Middleware with ZFS Storage
Appliance
Savings
• All data services (snaps, clones, replication, compression, thin
provisioning, etc.) are included in the ZFS Storage Appliance at no cost
• With Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, no additional database
software licenses are required
• High capacity disk drives in a densely populated configuration enable a
low cost solution with a small footprint and lower energy costs
• ZFS data compression improves storage efficiency and thus reduce
capital expenditures by reducing storage capacity requirements
1/3 lower CAPEX and OPEX
than EMC and NetApp

16. DR for Fusion Middleware with ZFS Storage Appliance
Simplicity
• The intuitive BUI management interface and simplified administrative
procedures reduce operations costs by reducing administration time
• Predefined scripts automate and coordinate the process between ZFS
Storage Appliance and Data Guard further simplifying management of
the DR environment
• Fast provisioning and configuration helps reduce initial setup costs

17. Edison Group Usability Study
Simplicity
Shows that the ZFS Storage Appliance can be managed
more efficiently than a comparable NetApp system
• 34% less time required to provision and configure the storage
and its connectivity
• 31% less time for maintenance and typical configuration changes
• 44% less time spent troubleshooting

18. DR for Fusion Middleware with ZFS Storage Appliance
Simplicity
• Having too many vendors on hand can dramatically
increase cost of management and reduce overall
environment efficiency
