• #19: Build system image once Database servers Application servers Deploy as required Reduce deployment time
• #20: Data growth continues to outpace IT budget growth: Business finds new sources + compliance requires longer retention Data in most databases cannot be segmented by corporate value. Production storage might be duplicated 4X (or more) by standby and DR systems, and the backup process. Storage is becoming the most significant infrastructure cost!

• #27: Recent disasters have renewed interest in HA and DR Cheaper servers and virtualization technology make HA/DR affordable to more applications Global businesses look to eliminate “nightly maintenance windows” Expectations for performance and availability set by “best-in-class” - Amazon, eBay, Google, etc.
• #29: Quote: Approved by Sue Merrigan from Joe Meeks ( Director, Product Management for HA solutions at Oracle) Date of Quote: September 2008 Headquartered in Denver, Intermap Technologies is a digital map company creating uniform high-resolution 3D digital models of the earth’s surface. The Company is proactively remapping entire countries and building uniform national databases, called NEXTMap ®, consisting of elevation data and geometric images of unprecedented accuracy to be used within commercial applications such as energy, engineering, personal navigation, wireless communications, and insurance risk assessment, among others. Intermap’s data is stored, managed and secured using Oracle Database 11g and the Oracle Spatial option. Intermap’s multi-terabyte database is protected using Oracle Active Data Guard option that replicates transactions to a mirrored system at their disaster recovery site.

• #33: Data warehousing can be described as driven by four trends today. From a business standpoint, organizations are increasingly competing through the use of analytics. The Harvard Business Review has published several articles regarding this and some widely read books describe how companies that use analytics are outperforming their competitors. The need to manage by fact drives organizations to retain more detailed data over longer histories to resulting in more realistic outcomes and better predictions. Optimized Platforms are increasingly used to eliminate errors in platform configuration procedures. More manageable environments are possible through improved software. Pre-defined data models provide a starting point for a successful deployment. These appear through systems integrators and increasingly as software applications from vendors.
• #42: The CME (Chicago Merchantile Exchange) Group is the world's largest future exchange. It provides facilities for electronic trading, clearing, settlement, and deliveries. In 2007, The CME Group traded approximately 2.77 billion contracts with a face value of approximately $1,200 trillion. In order to help users make informed business decisions on trades, quotes and products, The CME Group is dependent on its 15 terabyte Oracle data warehouse which has been experiencing growth rates of 2-300% per year. With this scale of data growth, one of The CME Group’s biggest technical challenges is addressing their query I/O bottlenecks that can limit data warehouse performance and scalability. The CME Group’s 15 terabyte data warehouse runs on a 10-node HP Linux Cluster running Oracle Real Application Clusters attached to 2 HP 9990V storage arrays with a total of 1,280 disks. Benchmarking their data warehouse on a grid of 4 HP Linux servers running Oracle Database 11g and Real Application Clusters attached to 6 HP Oracle Exadata Storage Servers with 72 disks resulted in an average performance improvement of 10-15x. One query that used to take 4 minutes to complete is now completing in 10 seconds, demonstrating both the performance and scalability of Oracle Exadata.
• #44: Databases most valuable enterprise assets Digital data explosion: 1800 exabytes by 2011 (IDC) More value requires more security Perimeter security is not enough Insider theft/fraud is top of mind for IT groups Hackers attacking from inside the firewall Regulatory compliance is a critical driver Expanding data privacy and protection laws 90% companies behind (IT Policy Compliance Group) Disclosure laws make data breaches costly “ Right Sourcing” reduces IT costs, but increases need for security and controls Partners implicated in 40% of breaches Off-shoring considerations
• #50: Most organizations are 30%* below achievable IT productivity levels because of manual db management 40% of CIOs surveyed cite lack of automation tools* 60%–70% of IT budget is spent on operations and maintenance** * Enterprise Management Associates, 2007 ** CIO Magazine , 2007

During Comic Relief’s biennial Red Nose day and sport relief campaigns members of the public get sponsored to raise funds, and donations are pledged via the internet and by telephone during live TV broadcasts. Solution Pursued strategy of leveraging technology advances to increase transaction speed, improve service to donors, drive innovation, and cut IT costs by upgrading to Oracle Database 11 g Processed 100% of donations received during Red Nose Day and sport relief live events using Oracle’s virtualized, grid-based infrastructure Reduced use of third-party vendor tools, skill sets, and costs associated with managing Comic Relief’s infrastructure Maximized resources available for donation processing during live events Used Oracle Database 11 g ’s new automated storage management, disk space compression, and partitioning features to improve information manageability and data retrieval Cut system management overheads with Oracle Database 11 g ’s new integrated, automated workload management capabilities Increased system performance by offloading resource-intensive activities, such as calculating real-time donations total for broadcast during live events, from production database to a synchronized standby site Set to increase online funds raised, from US$800,000 in 1999 to an anticipated US$50 million in 2009
