Why Oracle on IBM POWER7 is Better Than Oracle Exadata The Advantages of IBM POWER7 Systems

February, 2011

© 2011 IBM Corporation 2

IBM and Oracle Have a Long-Standing Relationship

Coopetition is alive and well

Sustaining relationship of 120K + clients Oracle 22 years, PeopleSoft 20 years, JD Edwards 31

years, Siebel 10 years

More than 120K joint technology clients And more than 20,000 joint application clients

Vibrant technology relationship Sustained investment in skills and resources including

dedicated international competency centers

Market-leading services practice IBM GBS is Oracle’s #1 SI partner (7,500 joint projects)

with 5,000 people dedicated to Oracle

Unrivaled client support process Dedicated on-site resources and significant program

investments


Top 10 Reasons IBM POWER7 Systems are Better for Oracle

IBM POWER7® Systems Oracle Exadata

1. Configuration and

price flexibility

Custom, client-focused configurations

for multiple needs – including OLTP and

Data Warehouse – and multiple price

points

Rigid configuration with lack of

customization to client’s workload with a

high initial purchase price that is very

expensive to scale

2. Storage technology Enterprise-strength storage

technologies such as RAID-6

Missing key storage technology and

options support

3. Performance Industry-leading performance and

benchmarks

No published benchmarks

4. Scalability Capability and flexibility to scale up and

scale out

Only scale-out capability

5. Reliability Extremely reliable system and storage

technology

Uncertain reliability

6. Virtualization Marries resource efficiency and

virtualization

No virtualization

7. OS flexibility Choice of AIX®, IBM i, Red Hat or SUSE

Linux

Only proprietary Oracle Linux

distributions, Oracle Solaris 11 in 2011

8. Software levels

Supports all currently available Oracle

Database Server versions through

11gR2

Only supports Oracle Database Server

11gR2

9. Roadmap History of success and a clear roadmap Uncertain roadmap and direction

10. Business risk Proven platform Risky platform

Oracle…

1. Expensive

2. Lock in

3. Risk


OLTP and Data Warehouse Have Different Design Needs

OLTP Systems

– Run the business by processing the transactions that are critical to the organization

– Utilization is driven by the number of users, not complexity of SQL

– Smaller block I/O – 8K

– Higher write - updated online, many index lookups

– Buffer, log and cache management are key to performance in clusters

Data Warehouse Systems

– Analyze the transaction data to provide strategic and competitive differentiation

– Larger more complex queries with more table joins, complex SQL

– Lots of large block I/O – 16-32K

– 90-95% reads

– Tends to consume entire environments

Mixing OLTP and Data Warehouse databases within the same OS is not generally recommended

#1 – Configuration & price flexibility

IBM believes that designing and building systems optimized for specific workloads is the best approach

Would you

configure OLTP and

Data Warehouse

systems identically?

ORACLE DOES

with Exadata!


Exadata — Rigid and Lacks Customization to Client’s Workload


You’re locked in to a fixed configuration that lacks the granularity to size YOUR workload to YOUR needs — Fixed node sizes, fixed ratio

of cores-to-disks and fixed upgrade options

Processing and storage capacity are not sold independently — when you need to increase

processing, you likely don’t need more storage

– Typical Exadata system running OLTP can end up with 6x-28x more storage than required

– When you need high-performance, you are paying too much for 100 TB of usable low-

performance storage you may never use

Exadata storage nodes come with 5 TB of expensive flash cache and 100 TB of disk storage —

whether both are required or not

If you have a ¼ rack and you want to upgrade, you have to

move to a ½ rack

– Doubling the size of your environment — even if you

only need one more processor

– Have to pay Oracle license and maintenance fees —

even if you’re not using all that processing power


Implement Lower-Cost Solutions Suited to Your Business Needs

IBM POWER7 Systems offer custom,

client-focused configurations for

YOUR specific workload with choice of processor speed,

storage type, virtualization and the

ability to scale both up and out!

— IBM POWER7 Systems — Flexibility for OLTP and Data Warehouse

Workload deployment

Upgrade existing systems OR integrate new systems into your

environment based on your workload needs

Leverage virtualization in application servers and

development/test environment

Exadata — Lacks Key Storage Technology and Options Support

#2 – Storage Technology

Feature IBM Storage Exadata

Storage choices

and warranty

options

YES, provides many choices with flexible cost and

warranty options — all support Oracle and Oracle RAC

Storage can be repurposed for other applications/needs

NO, only option is very expensive/GB. Paying for very

expensive Flash Cache that most applications don’t need

Exadata storage is only supported with Exadata

Scalability Do not need a fixed ratio of CPU cores to disks

Can size your workload to what you need

Need a fixed ratio of CPU cores to disk

Same ratio for OLTP and Data Warehouse, and whether

using compressed data or not

Reliability POWER7 with RAID-6 has a far more reliable scheme for

data redundancy than Oracle Exadata standard

configuration with mirroring

Exadata standard configuration uses less reliable

mirroring scheme (ASM)

Capacity efficiency POWER7 Systems and the DS3500 have 1/3 higher

capacity efficiency than Oracle Exadata. IBM operates at

67% capacity efficiency. With IBM, less capacity is

devoted to the overhead necessary to keep the data safe

Compared to Exadata’s optional triple mirroring, IBM has

50% higher capacity efficiency

With Exadata’s standard configuration, it operates at 50%

capacity efficiency

With Exadata’s optional triple mirroring, reliability is

improved, but capacity efficiency drops from 50% to 33%

Drives intermix YES, helps protect investment NO, the Exadata Storage Server is a fixed configuration.

It only comes in two flavors and drives cannot be

individually purchased or configured

Other storage

options

YES, RAID options, de-duplication and tape support NO

Automated data

placement

YES, IBM Storage Systems provide the ability to relocate

data (at the extent level) across drive tiers (HDD/SSD)

without disruption to applications. 5-10% SSD can provide

up to 300% transaction throughput increase

NO

Scale Up or Scale Out Depending on Application Needs with POWER7

Drive a consolidation strategy and add in pieces you need, as you need them

– Add additional CPUs for better performance

– Add additional memory for cache-sensitive workloads

– Add SSD for reduced I/O latency

– Leverage existing disks for tiered storage

Scale up and configure fewer, more powerful servers

– Fewer moving parts means less to manage

– Less complex RAC configurations

Deploy new applications and respond to rapidly changing business needs quickly and easily

– Mix application and database on the same machine

– Mix test and production on the same frame

#4 – Scalability

With Exadata, you have to add

capacity in big increments and

only via scale-out nodes, which

increases complexity and management

considerations.

And Finally, Is Moving to Exadata Worth the Business Risk?

Practical Analysis: Do Oracle Exadata

Gains Warrant the Risk?

By Art Wittmann, Director,

InformationWeek Analytics

On the face of it, that Oracle makes a big deal out of performance is a telling mistake. Just like we no longer buy cars based on horsepower alone, IT purchases have long since ceased to be about performance. Factors like value and risk are at least as important, and for existing Sun customers, the risks are just getting bigger.

Is Exadata More Trouble Than It’s Worth?

By Matthew McKenzie, Editor in Chief,

Enterprise Efficiency

Who cares? According to a recent InformationWeek

Analytics survey, the real issue isn't whether Exadata

performs better. It's whether CIOs are willing to risk tying

their companies — and their careers — to what they see

as a deeply dysfunctional vendor relationship.

Here's the bottom line: Earlier this year, just 7 percent of IT

pros said they had "no interest" in buying major

applications in appliance form from a Sun/Oracle combo.

Now, that number has more than doubled to 17 percent.

What's driving that change? According to InformationWeek

Analytics director Art Wittman, the IT pros surveyed say it's

a toxic combination of an "arrogant" Oracle sales team

and an "inept" Sun hardware service team.

Even if Exadata delivers the goods, Wittman writes, "The

benefit isn't sufficient to make up for what could be a

career-ending risk."

Do you want

to take what

could be a

“career-ending

risk”?

#10 – Business Risk

Oracle Stacks the Deck with Integrated

Hardware and Software: Convenience,

Lock-in and Higher Prices

By Dave Vallente, Silicon Angle

If you don’t endeavor to manage Oracle negotiations in a deliberate and thoughtful manner, like you would a vital corporate project – the outcome will be simple. You will be eaten alive, your costs will go up, you’ll be hit with audit bills down the road and you’ll be locked-in for a decade.
