3 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020

Database Complexity Has Steadily Increased

• Mission critical databases have been complex for decades

• The needs of data-driven enterprises made databases more complex

• Real-time analytics
• Scale-out architecture
• Zero downtime
• Defend from cyber-attacks

• Decades of automation plus the addition of cloud and machine learning have enabled
Oracle to eliminate database management complexity

4 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020

 Data Strategy
• Modern Applications require many different:
• Data Types - Relational, Document, Spatial, Graph, etc.
• Workloads - Transactions, analytics, ML, IoT, etc.

• Each data type and workload requires different

database algorithms

• Two possible Data Strategies:

• Use single-purpose “best-of-breed” database for each data type and workload

• Use a converged database for all data types and workloads

5 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020

 Fragmented Features vs. Converged Product
• Phone calls, messaging, camera, calendar, music , etc. originally
required separate products
• Now are features of smartphones

• Similarly, key-value, in-memory, analytics, ML, JSON, sharding, etc.

originally required separate products
• Now are features of a Converged Database

6 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020

 Over Time New Functionality is Converged
Into Mainstream
• Single-purpose databases have emerged many times
• Abandoned after features are added to converged databases

De-support of Non-CDB Database Architecture

• The Oracle Database previous non-Container architecture will be

de-supported from Oracle Database 20c onwards

• From Oracle Database 19c onwards, the multitenant architecture

supports creation of up to 3 user-created Pluggable Databases
of any type
• The Multitenant Option is required for deployment of 4 or more user-
created PDBs

14 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020

Multitenant – New Features

• Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) Support for Pluggable Databases

• You can now use ADDM analysis for PDBs in a multitenant environment
• Oracle Real Application Testing (RAT) Workload Capture and Replay in a PDB
• You can capture and replay the workload from within an individual pluggable database
• Oracle Data Pump Support for Resource Usage Limitations
• Two new parameters, MAX_DATAPUMP_JOBS_PER_PDB and
MAX_DATAPUMP_PARALLEL_PER_JOB are introduced to give DBAs more control over
the number of jobs that can be started in a multitenant container database environment, and
over the number of parallel workers that can be used for an individual Data Pump job,
respectively

Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)
Node Failure, Instance Failure, Rolling Maintenance

• Utilizes two or more instances of an

Application Oracle Database concurrently
Tier • Application Continuity
• Masks errors from applications by recovering session
state and replaying in-flight requests
• Very Scalable
• All instances active; Add capacity online; Ideal for
Database database consolidation
Services Database
Tier
• Highly Available
• Auto-failover of services to an already running
instance; Outage is transparent to user, in-flight
transactions succeed; Zero downtime rolling
Primary Database maintenance

23 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020

Continuous Availability
Unplanned Outages without Client Interruptions, with Application Continuity

Outage or Interruption at Database:

1. Database Request interrupted when
2. RAC Node or instance or cluster fails
5 3. Session reconnects to the RAC Cluster (or Standby) and
4. Database Request replays automatically
5. Result from Database Request returned to user

Exadata Cloud @ Customer & Oracle Multitenant
Solution benefits
▪ Before
- Multiple DB servers with
different versions, placed on
different platforms (IBM Power,
Intel x86)
- Provisioning new databases was
a time-consuming operation
- Hard to manage licensing
- Complex policy for backups
- Disaster Recovery based on
storage replication
33 Oracle Database Consolidation – October 2020
▪ After
- All Oracle DBs stored on Oracle
Exadata Cloud @ Customer platform
- Scaling up/down is done easily and
on-demand through Cloud UI
- High consolidation density using
Oracle Multitenant: +200PDBs
- Provisioning of new DBs done
automatically using Cloud UI
- All DBs backed up to VTL
automatically via 10Gbps ports
▪ Benefits
- Improved performance, reliability &
scalability
- Pay per use model with simple
licensing model and instant boosting
- High security – all Oracle DBs are
encrypted with TDE
- Standardization and reduced
backup/restore window for
application
- Reduced bandwidth for DB
replication, guaranteed consistency
and simplified DRC procedures
