2 | EXPANDING ORACLE’S VIRTUAL COMPUTE APPLIANCE USING ORACLE ZFS STORAGE APPLIANCE

Why Use Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance with Oracle’s Virtual Compute

Appliance?

Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is an ideal solution for storage expansion of the Virtual Compute Appliance . It has

been coengineered with the Virtual Compute Appliance to maximize performance and efficiency while reducing

deployment risk and total cost of ownership. As an engineered storage expansion, the Oracle ZFS Storage

Appliance offers the following capabilities to Virtual Compute Appliance customers:

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance provides extremely high performance for applications and workloads

deployed on the Virtual Compute Appliance. It is optimized for Input/Output Operations per Second

(IOPS)–intensive workloads, such as OLTP databases, as well as for bandwidth-driven workloads including data

warehousing, business intelligence analytics, and video processing. The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is

powerful enough to run a diverse set of workloads concurrently by leveraging the Virtual Compute Appliance

InfiniBand network.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance provides high throughput for thousands of virtual machines (VMs). It is

capable of booting 16,000 VMs in approximately seven minutes. It provides fast response time and low latency,

which allows it to avoid VM boot storms, throughput congestion, hot spots, and I/O saturation.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance also comes with superior storage analytics, which allow you to visualize and

drill down into specific workloads to understand where congestion occurs and why. It can even allow you to

examine and manage the storage aspects of Virtual Compute Appliance environments all the way down to the

VM level.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance provides scalable capacity for Virtual Compute Appliance customers. It is

offered in multiple configurations to address different application needs and can expand up to 3.4 PB.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance reduces risk by automating storage management using Oracle Enterprise

Manager, so you have fewer storage systems to integrate and manage. It also lowers risk by providing leading

fault-monitoring and self-healing capabilities, and by simplifying setup and management through its DTrace

Analytics feature.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance reduces complexity because its large DRAM and flash cache–based

architecture is more efficient in serving the I/O from large virtualized environments. In addition, unique features

such as its Hybrid Columnar Compression feature reduce the amount of storage needed for data warehouses

built using Oracle Database. And, it enables you to lower total cost of ownership because you need fewer

systems that cost less and are easier to manage.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is ideal for expanding Virtual Compute Appliance storage by utilizing the Oracle

ZFS Storage Appliance intelligent caching capabilities. This provides the I/O performance of DRAM (1000x faster

than flash) at the cost and scalability of a disk-based storage solution.

The following sections outline the steps required for expanding Oracle’s Virtual Compute Appliance using the Oracle

ZFS Storage Appliance. Either the Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-4 or ZS3-2 can be utilized depending on the capacity

demands of the environment.

Cabling

The Virtual Compute Appliance currently supports external connectivity to an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance cluster

using InfiniBand for storage data traffic. Additional Ethernet connections should also be made between the Oracle

ZFS Storage Appliance cluster and an Ethernet switch connected to a customer’s network infrastructure. The two

Oracle Switch ES1-24 switches located in U21 of the Virtual Compute Appliance should not be used for ZFS

Storage Appliance connectivity.
