Exadata
by Oleksiy Razborshchuk, Oracle Corporation
Sun Oracle Database Machine and Oracle Exadata Storage Servers combine Oracle's smart storage software and Oracle's industry-standard Sun hardware to deliver the industry's highest database performance. To overcome the limitations of conventional systems, Oracle Exadata uses massively parallel architecture to dramatically increase data bandwidth between the database server and storage. In addition, smart storage software offloads data-intensive query processing from Oracle Database 11g servers and does the query processing closer to the data. In this presentation we’ll discuss details of Exadata technical architecture, uncover why it’s the fastest OLTP and DW machine available today, and how Exadata users minimize cost of system ownership and reduce time to value compare to conventional systems.
Oracle 11g Data Warehousing
by Ian Abramson, ThoughtCorp
This presentation will illustrate many of the features that are contained within the database. As all of us know, the Oracle database has many features that are invaluable to each of us. As a DW and BI professional, it is important to leverage these features in the right way at the right time. This session will discuss the key features that are available in the database including partitioning, parallel execution, analytic SQL and many others. The session will also provide discussion on when to use these features and how to ensure that you are truly getting the most of your Oracle database investment.
Xenifying Oracle - Virtues of using Oracle with Xen
by Aws AL-Samarrie
This presentation is about the application of Oracle technology on Xen virtualized hosts (focus is on the RDBMS). A brief introductory about virtualization and specifically the Xen-based hypervisor will be given. This presentation will focus on the Xen hypervisor that is included in Enterprise Linux distros (e.g. OEL 5.x, RHEL 5.x), which is really the same hypervisor working under the hood in OracleVM with some minor release differences. After this presentation you will understand why Oracle chose Xen for its offering of an enterprise virtual machine hypervisor.
As an example, a RAC implementation on two separate physical machines each running its own Xen hypervisor will be discussed. Also discuss the benefits of such an implementation in achieving a homogeneous RAC system over diverse commodity based hardware platforms along with the extra level of abstraction which helps in increasing fault tolerance.
