Oracle Performs with Sun Modular Disk
●Easy to Install & Optimize ● Oracle RAC environments require shared storage for the
greatest throughput across multiple servers— with data available to which ever processor needs it
● High performance – Superior performance featuring block-level storage that maintains application performance levels as data amounts and data use increase
The Sun StorageTek 6780 is the performance efficiency leader for Oracle, able to offer the highest performance modular storage system with extremely low response times regardless of load
● CAM pre-configured Oracle Profile for quick deployment and provisioning
● Dynamic Features enable flexible storage management with faster provisioning times, higher availability, and on-the-fly modifications
Made to Scale, Made to Perform
Sun Confidential: NDA Customers, Authorized Partners, and Internal Use Only 21
Oracle and Sun Modular Disk• Oracle data is used to generate customer revenue and/
or control costs
• The value of data drives storage requirements> High value data requires: 1) High protection, 2) High access rate, and
3) Shorter access time > Can be FC drives in the 6780, 65xx or 61xx, or SAS drives in the
25xx
> Low value data affords: 1) Lower protection, 2) Lower access rate, and 3) Longer access time> Can be SATA drives in 6780, 65xx or 61xx, 25xx
• Data value changes over time
• Storage system> Meet all data requirements> Cost less than the value of the data it stores
Sun Confidential: NDA Customers, Authorized Partners, and Internal Use Only 22
VMWare Scales with Sun Modular Disk
• Requires shared storage for VMware ESX Server features > VMotion, Storage VMotion, Resource
Pools, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and High Availability
• Outstanding horizontal scalability> From entry-level through midrange to
enterprise class storage with commonality of platform and storage management
• VM's require large quantities of disk space> 100 Guests can require ~5TB of
space... just for the OS
• VMware vSphere Cloud OS> Private Clouds (shared storage)

Challenge 1: Your Data is not Consolidated
Marketing (Internal DAS)
Finance External DAS
Sales (Internal DAS)
HR External DAS
• An organization may start with several servers with directly attached storage (DAS)
• As the business grows and servers are added, more storage is directly attached
• This results in unconsolidated and inefficient storage islands

Challenge 2: Availability Requirements
Cluster
JBOD
HBA HBA
• Failover cluster solutions cannot be built on RAID HBAs where cache and/or RAID configuration is machine/node specific
• Without continuously available data, organizations are faced with the threat of unplanned downtime.
Sun Confidential: NDA Customers, Authorized Partners, and Internal Use Only 29
Solution 2: Clustering with the ST2500 Arrays
ST2530
Cluster • The ST2500 arrays are well suited for clusters • Two active/active RAID controllers with
mirrored cache, redundant components and automated I/O path failover,
• Provides seamless failover across multiple servers and applications.
• Highly available arrays ensures data is accessible when needed and can be shared by multiple hosts running the same application
Sun Confidential: NDA Customers, Authorized Partners, and Internal Use Only 30
Challenge 3: Server Virtualization
• The influx of blade and virtual servers drives the need for consolidated storage> May not be cost-effective to attach
each blade and virtual server to a FC SAN
• Servers will likely continue to rely on DAS
> Remain stranded and not leverage the increased availability, capacity and availability of shared storage
> DAS limits virtual server scalability
