Data is moved to different physical locations during its lifetime

Based on the phase of the lifecycle, most appropriate storage device

needs to be used.

 IMPLEMENTATION OF ILM

Step 1- Define the data classes

In order to make
effective use of
Information Lifecycle
Management, the
first step is to look at
all the data in the
organization, what
type of data is it,
where is it stored.

Step 2 – Create Storage Tiers for the Data Classes

Since Oracle Database 11g, can take advantage of all the different
storage options that are available, the next step is to establish the
following storage tiers:

Creation of Storage Tiers for the Data
Classes

The Costs Savings of

using Tiered Storage

One of the benefits of

implementing an ILM
strategy is the cost
savings that can result
from using multiple
tiered storage.

 ORACLE ILM ASSISTANT

A GUI based tool for managing ILM environment.

Provides the ability to create lifecycle definitions, that are

assigned to the tables in the database.

Based on the lifecycle policy, the ILM Assistant advises when it

is time to move, archive or delete data.

Ability to show how to partition a table based on a

lifecycle definition and to simulate the events on a table if it were
partitioned.

It can also display and query all the audit

records and generate and compare digital signatures.

 BENEFITS OF AN ONLINE ARCHIVE

Data remains Optimum

online when utilization of
needed, thus faster resources (using
access to meet current
business application to
requirements. access the data).

Even if the data is

old, it is easy and
cheap to save the
data.

 CONCLUSION

Oracle Database 11g provides an ideal platform for implementing

ILM because it’s simple to use since there are no specialized
data stores to manage and it operates independent of any
hardware.

It has proven fast performance, therefore all information can be

quickly retrieved.

 CONCLUSION

The Oracle Database provides total flexibility, therefore it can rapidly

adapt to any change in requirements, which is extremely important
due to the continuing evolution of the emerging regulations.

Information Lifecycle Management enables us to understand our

data, which is an extremely valuable business asset, which must be
managed properly, to ensure business success and regulatory
compliance.
