Choice of Storage Systems for Oracle Databases

Customers may have different approaches to acquiring storage Storage purchased with server to address specific application requirements Cross-application storage infrastructure addressing crossplatform requirements for server storage IBM has storage subsystems to meet customer needs, regardless of approach to storage management All IBM storage subsystems, including the SAN Volume Controller, work well with Oracle and Oracle RAC Oracle Exadata V2 offers scalability, but with a fixed ratio of CPU cores to disk spindles Only choice is SAS or SATA Same ratio for OLTP and Data Warehouse Same ratio whether using compressed data or not
