Data growth typically forces IT organizations into a vicious cycle of constantly adding more servers, storage and software in an attempt to keep up. Adding new systems increases costs for both hardware and software, support, maintenance and licenses. The only way to reverse this cycle is to improve efficiency: Lower the cost to operate your Oracle environment while simultaneously delivering business benefits, such as increased agility and an accelerated time-to-market.

HDS can help you strike this balance by optimizing and modernizing your infrastructure. With Hitachi infrastructure solutions, you can:

• Optimize the infrastructure footprint necessary to run your Oracle workloads with Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) and achieve the cost and time savings of a converged system.

• Minimize the need for additional server capacity and licenses with solutions like all-flash Hitachi UCP 6000 for Oracle Database and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) F series storage systems.

• Evolve from a capital expenditure (capex) intensive IT model to a flexible opex model. This pay-for-use approach can be achieved with Hitachi cloud infrastructure solutions for Oracle, powered by Oracle Database 12c, Oracle Linux, Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c.

Test Drive Our Database Assessment Tool for Deeper Insights

Database Infrastructure Evaluation Tool (DIET) from Hitachi Data Systems helps you look into your current infrastructure performance and utilization. More than 2,000 companies have used this assessment tool to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks: They receive and get specific guidance tailored to their Oracle environments on how to optimize their infrastructure utilization by “right sizing” compute, storage and network resources.

Your business can move only as fast as the IT infrastructure that supports it. To get new products and services to market, you can no longer afford lengthy turnaround times associated with provisioning and configuring storage, compute and other resources.

Instead, meet business demands and deploy resources as needed. With Hitachi solutions you can:

• Compress configuration and provisioning times from weeks to minutes with cloud-ready solutions optimized for Oracle Database, Oracle E-Business Suite and many other enterprise applications.

• Eliminate deployment time and set up challenges involved in IT resource provisioning with Hitachi UCP 6000 for Oracle Database, a pre-integrated, converged system of storage, server, compute and management software that deploys in minutes.

• Simplify and automate management of your Oracle environment with a software-defined infrastructure. Hitachi solutions transform your IT operations with unified management, data protection and advanced analytics to ensure you’re always running at peak performance.

The Power of Hitachi Adapters

A tightly integrated portfolio of adapters for your Oracle infrastructure helps you simplify management so you can reduce the burden on IT staff and free up resources to work on more strategic projects. Hitachi adapters enhance, extend and simplify many administrative and operational tasks.

Increase Speed and Business Agility

Strategies to Increase Business Agility

• Align IT service delivery to

business needs.

• Leverage integrated and pre-

built cloud-ready infrastructure

solutions to reduce

implementation times.

Today’s data-driven businesses depend on mission-critical applications running in your Oracle environment. Data protection is critical. Having the agility and flexibility of a public cloud environment is attractive, but not at the expense of application downtime, data loss or security breaches.

Hitachi solutions for Oracle environments deliver the benefits your business needs without compromise:

• Ensure your Oracle databases and critical applications are working smoothly with modern and holistic data protection solutions from Hitachi that orchestrate backups and recovery. Receive alerts that proactively help you resolve issues and prevent outages before they occur with Hitachi Data Instance Director (HDID) and global-active device.

• Recover data quickly should an outage occur with Hitachi Adapter for Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN).

• Increase the reliability of your Oracle infrastructure by implementing a data protection solution that you can validate and test for full data recovery.

• Ensure availability of your data with our 100% data availability guarantee for Hitachi Virtual Storage Platforms.

Private Cloud Solutions for Oracle Environments

Our pre-integrated, validated private cloud solution offers the speed and value of the public cloud, coupled with the control and security of your own data center. Hitachi data protection solutions for Oracle environments simplify operations while providing continuous data and operational recovery. At the same time, Hitachi can reduce storage, server and networking risks with incremental backups, compression and deduplication. And with Hitachi solutions, such as HDID and global-active device, you can protect your Oracle environment with flexible, automated policies and achieve nonstop data access.

Protect the Data That Powers Your Business

Strategies to Lower Business Risks

• Leverage private cloud solutions

for increased security, speed and

control.

• Orchestrate backup, recovery and

retention with business-defined

workflows.

• Proactively identify issues and

ensure data recovery with data

protection solutions.

Database performance is a critical component for companies that want to compete with today’s digital disrupters. See how Hitachi solutions for Oracle are transforming these businesses.

A public school system in Asia-Pacific used the Database Infrastructure Evaluation Tool from HDS to assess its Oracle infrastructure. With hardware and licensing costs escalating, this customer was able to modernize its infrastructure to increase deployment speed and at the same time rein in costs.

Consolidated servers by roughly one third.

Achieved power savings that will pay for new infrastructure in less than eight months.

A worldwide healthcare company located in North America used the tool to assess its Oracle environment. With right-sizing recommendations from Hitachi, the company is moving to a unified compute platform (UCP), significantly reducing its infrastructure footprint and software costs.

Reduced physical servers by a factor of 10.

Projected to reduce cores by 80% or more.

A 75-year-old telecommunications company in Europe leveraged cloud-optimized hardware and software from Hitachi to transform its business model. Running Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c and Oracle VM on Oracle-optimized infrastructure from Hitachi, this telco built an on-premises, infrastructure-as-a-service (Iaas) platform to go head-to-head with established public cloud service providers. With Hitachi’s all-flash Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) F800 and highly scalable Compute Blade 2500 servers powering its high-performance Oracle databases, this telco can now offer a range of cloud services that extend its business far beyond traditional telephone services.
