Oracle Database 11g
As business operations become more complex, the demand for change in IT increases accordingly, as do the associated risks that must be mitigated.
Today’s IT professionals are asked to manage more information and deliver it to their users, with ever-increasing quality of service, in a timely manner. And in today’s economic climate, IT must also reduce budgets and derive greater value out of existing investments.
Oracle Database 11g Release 2, the latest release of the award-winning Oracle Database 11g, enables IT professionals to deliver more information with higher quality of service, make more-efficient use of their budgets, and reduce the risk of change in datacenters. By deploying Oracle Database 11g Release 2 as their data management foundation, organizations can utilize the full power of the world’s leading database to
• Reduce server costs by a factor of 5
• Reduce storage requirements by a factor of 10
• Improve mission-critical system performance by a factor of 10
• Increase DBA and developer productivity by a factor of 2
• Maximize availability and eliminate idle redundancy
• Maximize security and enable compliance
• Simplify their overall IT software portfolio
Reduce Hardware Costs Through Consolidation
Most datacenters today are a mishmash of hardware and software that have evolved over time to meet individual business requirements. Datacenters typically consist of a variety of server and storage silos, plus a complex software portfolio to integrate everything together.
Mixed datacenter environments are very expensive to maintain. A large part of any IT budget—estimated at as much as 30 percent—is spent on making sure that all these different components work well with each other, and more importantly, continue to work through the lifecycle of each component. Maintaining separate server and storage silos is also extremely inefficient. Individual systems are often over-provisioned with spare processing and
storage capacity, which can cause a great deal of underutilization throughout the datacenter. Managing individual systems to meet performance, availability, and security expectations is both inefficient and costly.
To address this challenge, organizations can consolidate their data processing and storage infrastructure into shared environments, with a common,
standardized platform available for all business applications. Server and storage consolidation can lead to savings from pure economies of scale alone. Oracle Database has enabled many organizations to consolidate onto their preferred hardware and operating systems. In addition, Oracle software enables significant commoditization of consolidated environments, greatly reducing the cost of hardware, often by a factor of 4x to 6x. This architecture can provide organizations with an efficient consolidated datacenter, and unlock the price and performance benefits of commodity hardware.
Unlock the Price and Performance of Commodity Hardware
In the past, organizations have used stand-alone SMP servers as a single shared platform to consolidate multiple workloads, and Oracle Database 11g
Release 2 works very well in this environment. Oracle Database has 20 years of experience in getting the best SMP performance and is supported by all major virtualization software, including Oracle VM and logical partitioning (LPAR) software. Oracle Database 11g Release 2 also offers instance caging, which enables databases to be confined to specific cores in the SMP environment, removing the need for virtualization or LPAR software.
