Service Overview • Customer requests Exadata Service on Oracle Cloud Portal

– Provides system size; Database names, sizes, versions, etc. – Pricing is based on Database CPU Cores enabled

• Start with a minimal number of cores within a Quarter Rack – Minimum: 28 cores, enable additional cores on demand – Access to full 42 TB of storage, 900K IOPs – Can expand to 100s of Cores, 100s of TB storage, Millions of IOPs

• Exadata System automatically provisioned for customer – Assured hardware resources: no server or storage over-provisioning

• Databases requested by customer prebuilt and ready to run – Oracle Database and Exadata software includes all options and features – Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2, Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2 – Automation tools provided to backup, patch, upgrade, and add databases

Allocation Unit: Exadata X5 Quarter Rack

OCPUs (min-max) 1 28 - 68

Total Memory 1/2 TB

PCIe Flash 19.2 TB

Usable Storage2 42 TB

Max DB size3 16.8 - 33.6TB

1. OCPU = Oracle CPU = 1 usable compute core 2. After high-redundancy mirroring, but before database compression 3. After provisioning DATA and RECO disk groups, actual space depends on space needed for local backups

14


Management & Maintenance

• Customers control and manage software that directly affects their application – Database, OS, Clusterware

• Oracle manages underlying infrastructure – Facilities, servers, storage, storage software, networking, firmware, hypervisor, etc.

• Customers have administrator privileges for compute VMs and databases so they can configure and run the system as they like – Customers initiate automated patching script when it is convenient for them – Can be run rolling across nodes to avoid database downtime

Best Practices: Deploying Databases with Exadata Service • Application latency

– Deploy middle-tier on Oracle Dedicated Compute Service or Public Compute Service for low-latency connectivity

– Use Fast Connect solutions to enable secured, low-latency connectivity from on-premises production / management applications

• Security – Enable least permissive rules during white-listing ingress IP addresses and enabling ports

• Patching and Validation – Oracle provides regular DB patchset updates and security patches when available – Keep database deployment patched to recommended levels – Patch automation tooling available to apply these patchset updates – Verify backup & recovery processes by regularly recovering databases from automated backups

53
