John Fowler Keynote Wednesday 01st October
- It is very hard to build complex business applications on a generic platform, better for organisations to purchase pre-engineered platforms that are designed to run specific applications.
- This problem can be exacerbated by cloud solutions if the components are selected from a number of generic IaaS providers
- Security may well be the biggest challenge when building out generic clouds as the security has to be retro fitted by you the consumer. The Oracle cloud has security built in at it's core.
- Operating System patching can be done without requiring an Operating System reboot.
- Moving towards a 1-step Unified Update.
- Dimension data have achieved a 70% OPEX reduction and 50% delivery reduction by putting mission critical applications onto a single, multi-tenant SuperCluster
- Really pushing the multi-tenant capabilities and all examples are SuperCluster
- OpenStack sits along Enterprise Manager to augment the capabilities to drive out virtualised environments into a cloud environment.
- The part of the estate that likely costs the most and is the hardest to run and maintain is the database. For this reason DBaaS can bring significant benefits.
- ZDLRA takes redo loops to provide real time backups with zero data loss and allows you to perform point in time recovery from anywhere along the recovery timeline.
- PeopleSoft has a built in in-memory option that significantly improves performance. E-Business is also mention on the slides but no mention of the version numbers.
- Again the graphic only shows the SuperCluster, T5 this time,
- The database logic that has been incorporated into the storage tier via Exadata software allows Oracle to claim Oracle databases run best on Oracle hardware with the only question being how much better.
- The ZFS storage has been optimised to utilise DRAM instead of cache and this gives phenomenal performance gains 59X since Oracle acquired SUN .
- AMMROC went live in 28 days for the worlds largest CMRO implementation, default tracking has reduced by 36X and this has save over 368 hours of effort per month.
- KDDI reduced data centre footprint by 83%
- The Oracle chipset has spent the last four years understanding the complex commands that are executed within the database and Java engines so that the functions can be replicated in Silicone
- The on chip memory security feature protects against the heart bleed bug.
- A number of the SQL statements are now embedded into silicon like range scan.
- The on chip decompression feature allows the new M7 to process 170B rows per second per socket
- This is available today on Oracle Software in Silicon Cloud, all you have to do is sign up as a beta developer.
