Oracle offers a complete desktop-to-datacenter virtualization product portfolio and a comprehensive set of virtualization service offerings.
Enterprises and mid-market customers are rapidly adopting virtualization to increase server utilization and reduce infrastructure operational costs. This adoption drives new requirements for a storage infrastructure enabling high performance, data management automation, high availability (HA) & disaster recovery (DR). Oracle offers the easiest-to-use, highest- performance, and lowest-cost storage infrastructure, increasing overall datacenter efficiency for solutions such as Windows consolidation using the Oracle Storage 7000.
NFS and iSCSI Support: Both NFS and iSCSI support is included with the Oracle Storage 7000 at no extra charge. NFS enables you to significantly reduce time to deploy and manage storage in a virtual environment.
Accelerating Virtualization Hosts: Virtualized environments typically use Synchronous Write I/O and dramatic results can be realized when implementing SSDs in a Mirrored or Striped SSD configuration with your Oracle Storage 7000. Adding SSDs is transparent to your virtualized environment and is accomplished with little to no system administration effort.
Performance Tuning With DTrace Analytics: Unprecedented observability with DTrace Analytics to better understand virtual machine and application behavior and tune for maximum performance. Reduce time to provision virtual server/storage environments.
Hybrid Storage Pool (HSP): Enabled by Flash SSDs, the HSP can be customized according to the behavior of your database. Up to 1.2TB of SSD can be configured for highly read I/O intensive database environments, allowing huge working sets to be serviced with latencies under 100ms. And for high write I/O-intensive environments, write-optimized Flash can be used.
Data Services: Snapshots, clones, replication, backup, compression, and other data services required for a successful and more efficient storage implementation in a virtual environment are provided as standard features with the Oracle Storage 7000.
