March 30, 2011 Webcast: Using Resource Manager for Consolidation on Exadata
Title: Using Resource Manager for Consolidation on Exadata
Abstract:
Database consolidation is a common goal for many Oracle Exadata customers. Through consolidation, you can capitalize on the extreme CPU, I/O, and memory resources in an Oracle Exadata Database Machine. One important aspect of consolidation is performance, since excessive loads or runaway querie! s from one workload can mar the performance and stability of the other workloads and databases. In this presentation, you will learn how to use Resource Manager to control how databases and workloads within databases utilize CPU, I/O, and other resources. For hosted or cloud environments, you will learn how to configure Resource Manager to ensure consistent and predictable performance. This presentation will include best practice tips and show results from recent Resource Manager tests.

Abstract:
In Oracle 10gR1, Oracle introduced Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and changed the way we think of managing database storage. Exadata is tightly integrated with ASM and provides the underlying disks that have traditionally been presented to ASM by the operating system. Looking at all the various intricacies of cell storage can be a little daunting at first. There are several layers of abstraction between physical disks and the ASM diskgroups many DBA’s are familiar with. If you’ve never worked with Oracle’s ASM product there will be a lot of new terms and concepts to understand there as well. This presentation discusses the various layers of abstraction, from physical disk to grid disk and how they are used to provide storage for the Oracle database. From there, we’ll take a look at the options for carving up and presenting Exadata grid disks to the database tier. The Oracle recommended approach is to create a few large “pools” of disk across all storage cells. While this approach generally works well from a performance standpoint, there are reasons to consider alternate strategies. Sometimes, isolating a set of storage cells to form a separate storage grid is desirable. This provides separation from more critical systems within the Exadata enclosure so that patches may be installed and tested before they are implemented in production. We’ll take a look at how ASM provides fault tolerance and storage virtualization to databases and how all the various pieces work together to provide flexible, high performance storage to the Oracle database.

Gartner Jan 2011 Magic Quadrant for DW Database Management Systems
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Jan 2011 is out... Ever since I have started following Oracle Exadata and started the Oracle Exadata SIG (http://OracleExadata.org).
In about two weeks, I will be giving a talk titled "Competing on Appliances" at Denver in RMOUG 2011. So this was quite timely!
Teradata has earned the top honors being one of the pioneers in the data warehouse appliance space. Oracle with its three distinct data warehouse solutions: Oracle stand-alone Db 11g, Reference Configurations on variety of hardware and Exadata with Exadata Storage Server, top the next spot. In recent years though, I think the reference configuration or optimized warehouse initiative has faded away as obviously Oracle wants to promote their own H/W stack. Thus, two main options are Oracle DB on traditional hardware and Exadata systems. Keeping in mind that Exadata specially V2 came out in end of 2009, its position is pretty comfortable in the top quadrant. IBM Smart Analytics took the next spot even though Netezza was measured in its own for 2010. Sybase IQ has helped to put SAP on this map too!
