6 Ways of Solve Your Oracle Dev-Test Problems Using All-Flash Storage and Copy Data Management
- 1. 6 Ways to Solve Your Oracle Dev-Test Problems Using All-Flash Storage and Copy Data Management Catalog. Automate. Transform. Copy Data Across Your Enterprise and Cloud 1
- 2. Agenda • Current problems • Six Ways Catalogic and All-Flash Storage Can Help • Solution demo • Customer case study 2 Presenters Peter Eicher Catalogic Product Marketing Manager Christian Burns Catalogic Product Manager
- 3. What Are The Current Problems? 1. Too many copies of Oracle data 2. Oracle copy process is slow and manual 3. Oracle copies can takes days or weeks to deliver to users 4. Oracle copies aren’t refreshed often enough -- stale data 5. Oracle data content needs to be secure (fields masked or subset) 6. Current tools don’t integrate with enterprise all-flash storage 3
- 4. 4 1 2 4 6 5 3 6 Ways to Solve Your Oracle Dev-Test Problems Using All-Flash Storage and Copy Data Management
- 5. 5 1 Save a Ton on Disk Space Problem: Too many copies of Oracle data
- 6. The Current DB Copy Data Environment Too many copies, delivered too late, left around too long 6 Typical Production Oracle Data Set Analytics & Reporting 2 to 4 Full Copies6 to 8 Full Copies Development & Operations Backup DR Dev/Test QA Training DevOps Sandbox Patch Management Etc. Copy Delivery: 1 to 4 Weeks Stale data! Stale data! And this is just one application Copy statistics from IDC
- 7. All-Flash vs. Hard Disk Drives • Because of performance constraints, HDD systems require full clones, to move data to other spindles. 7 Hard Disk LUN Snapshot Full Clone Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Reserved for Recovery Full Clone Workload Workload • Flash does not have the same IOPS limitation, so one copy does the work of many HDD copies. All-Flash LUN Snapshot Full Clone Workload Workload
- 8. 8 All-flash storage dramatically reduces the number of full Oracle copies you need. Catalogic ECX provides Oracle copy automation and orchestration, as we shall see… 1 Save a Ton on Disk Space
- 9. 9 2 Automate the Copy Process Problem: Oracle copy process is slow and manual
- 10. Complete Oracle Copy Automation Create Copies Track Copies Refresh Copies Use Copies Transition Copies Delete Copies Test Prod Snapshot, Replicate, Clone Catalog Automated DR and Test/Dev refresh Map LUNs, Spin Up Systems Test to Production Clean Up 10
- 11. Use Copies on Production or Alternate Tier 11 • Run dev-test from production array Flash LUN Snapshot Production All-Flash Array ReplicationFlash LUN Alternate All-Flash Array Flash LUN Production All- Flash Array Local or Remote Snapshot Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload • Replicate to second array and run dev-test away from production array Catalogic ECX supports either operational model
- 12. Further Technical Details 12 ECX uses built-in disk array copy engines (snapshots, replication, clones) Leverages flash storage data reduction (compression, dedupe) This is “in-place” copy data management NetApp: Snapshot, SnapVault, SnapMirror FAS, All-Flash FAS, NPS, Cloud ONTAP, FlexPod EMC Unity: Snapshots, Replication Unity 300/F, 400/F, 500/F, 600/F, VSA, VNXe IBM: FlashCopy, Global Mirror Storwize, SVC, Flash V9000, VersaStack No Oracle Agents required Run-time code-injection Code is always the latest Oracle Log Management Logs are captured Provides point-in-time data access, recovery
- 13. 13 Automated Oracle copy creation makes dev-test infrastructure deployment fast, easy, and reliable Catalogic ECX provides scheduling, policies, templates and works with your all-flash storage 2 Automate the Copy Process
- 14. 14 3 No More Waiting for Copies Problem: Oracle copies can takes days or weeks to deliver to users
- 15. Oracle Data Delivered Where and When You Need It 15 Push-button access to Oracle copies Map/Mount snapshots in minutes On Demand Self-Service Empower users with self-service portal DBAs, Dev-Test, QA, etc. Always under IT control Automated and Scheduled Copies in place automatically, every day Data in place even before work begins
- 16. 16 Eliminate idle time for dev-test teams Catalogic ECX delivers Oracle data copies where and when they’re needed 3 No More Waiting for Copies
- 17. 17 4 Keep Your Data Fresh Problem: Oracle copies aren’t refreshed often enough -- stale data
- 18. Data Delivery: From Days to Minutes • Instant all-flash snapshots provisioned to Dev-Test machines within minutes • Data refreshed automatically as required • Fresh productiondata leads to better results – Fewer bugs – Faster delivery times 18 Dev-1 Dev-2 Dev-3 Prod Data Snapshot
- 19. 19 Improve dev-test quality with fresher copies of production data Catalogic ECX automates everything 4 Keep Your Data Fresh
- 20. 20 5 Keep Your Data Secure Problem: Oracle data content needs to be secure
- 21. Integrated Data Masking • Protect sensitive data with integrated data masking • Generate a masked copy and deliver to multiple hosts • Apply masking only to specific copies (it’s not all- or-none) 21
- 22. 22 Deliver secure copies to dev-test teams Catalogic ECX integrates with your existing data masking operations 5 Keep Your Data Secure
- 23. 23 6 Use Your Favorite Tools Problem: Current tools don’t integrate with enterprise all-flash storage
- 24. Integrated with RMAN and DevOps Tools • ECX works with Oracle RMAN and popular DevOps tools • ECX feeds copy information into RMAN catalog • Drive data recovery via RMAN • ECX REST API allows all operations to be driven via DevOps tools – Infrastructure as Code 24 RMAN
- 25. 25 Don’t stop using what you know and love Catalogic ECX lets you use the tools that drive your Oracle Dev-Test with all-flash storage 6 Use Your Favorite Tools
- 26. 26 And now a few more cool things! 7 8 9 10
- 27. 27 Use the same copy process for data protection and disaster recovery Use the same copy process for other off- host operations: reporting, analytics, forensics, training, etc. Copy to spinning-disk tier for lower I/O workloads Simple, controller-based licensing for ECX
- 29. Automated Test/Dev: Customer Example 29 Customer Challenges • Manually build VMs, configure storage, network etc. • Manual monitoring, tracking of test copies • IT labor-intensive By the Numbers No. of servers built/month: 10-15 VMs Average build time/server: 4 hours Time spent per month: 40-60 hours Engineer time/year: 3 months After Catalogic ECX • Fully automated with self-service • Automated monitoring and tracking By the Numbers Average build time/server: 2-3 minutes Time spent per month: 30-45 minutes Engineer time/year: 6-9 hours 99% Time Savings Across the Board
