Oracle’s Mission
Deliver the best information
with the highest Quality of Service at
the lowest cost
Oracle’s Mission
Deliver the best information
with the highest Quality of Service at
the lowest cost
Oracle Database must be the fastest,
most scaleable, most reliable,
most secure, easiest to use,
for all types of information…
The following is intended to outline our
general product direction. It is intended for
information purposes only, and may not be
incorporated into any contract. It is not a
commitment to deliver any material, code, or
functionality, and should not be relied upon in
making purchasing decisions.
The development, release, and timing of any
features or functionality described for
Oracle’s products remains at the sole
discretion of Oracle.

ASM Disk
• The preferred and best storage
manager for Oracle Databases
•
•
•
•
Easier to manage than file systems
Performance of raw volumes
Built-in to Oracle database
Shared storage pool for all databases
• Free, and widely adopted
• >65% of 10g RAC deployments on ASM
• >25% of 10g customers already using ASM
• Many VLDB over 10TB
Automatic Storage Management
ASM Disk

ASM Disk
ASM Disk
ASM Disk
• Spreads database files evenly
across storage arrays
• Storage arrays can be easily
added or remove
• transparent data redistribution
• Data mirrored across arrays
• Tolerates failure of disks or arrays
New ASM features in Oracle 11g:
•
•
•
•
ASM Fast Disk Resync
ASM Preferred Mirror Read
ASM Rolling Upgrade
Larger extent, allocation unit sizes
Data Compression
for All Applications
• Oracle 9i compresses data only during bulk
load; useful for DW and ILM
• Oracle 11g compresses w/ inserts, updates
• Typical compression ratio of 2x to 3x
• Database directly reads compressed data
eliminating decompression overhead
• Strategy: compress db’s 10 largest tables
• Shrink table data by 50%, increase CPU by 5%
• Savings cascade to all db copies: test, dev,
standby, mirrors, archiving, backup, etc.
Oracle SecureFiles
High-Performance Large Objects
• High-performance transactional
access to large object data
• documents, medical, CAD, imaging …
• low-latency, high throughput, concurrent access
• space-optimized storage
• Protect your valuable data .. in the db!
•
•
•
•
transactions
transparent encryption
compression and de-duplication
database-quality security, reliability, and scalability
• Better security, single view and management of data
• Superset of LOB interfaces – easy migration

with database functionality!
Database
Encryption
• Encrypt at a column level (10g)
• New: encrypt entire tablespaces
• Redo, undo, backups also
encrypted
• Key management done by

Reduces Downtime by Eliminating Confusion
Customers Don’t Benefit
from Disaster Recovery
• Cost – choose no DR, or under-configure DR
• Rarely used – so little confidence in fail-over
• Data loss – leads to downstream problems
• Slow – faster to fix problems than fail-over
• Limited protection – site failures only
