What I have learned from 100 Oracle Benchmarks on Datrium

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 14:30:57 +0000

I have recently completed a series of benchmarks with Oracle on Datrium, and as it comes with no surprise Oracle is a perfect fit for Datrium's host flash acceleration and integrated data protection. I have documented tests, findings and recommendations in a document published here, but below you will find a few highlights and lessons learned.

EXT4 vs. XFS vs. ASM vs. ASM + OEL, which one performs better? Taking it to the next level.

My previous article on, EXT4 vs XFS for Oracle, generated some commentary both here in my blog and on Reddit. For this reason, I took the time to extend the same benchmark to Oracle ASM (Automatic Storage Management) and also to Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL).

[UPDATE] Since publishing this post I received requests to benchmark ASM and Oracle Enterprise Linux. An updated post for this article EXT4 vs XFS vs ASM vs ASM + OEL, which one performs better? Taking it to the next level.

Oracle + Datrium Encryption Benchmark with Near-Zero Performance Impact

Tue, 05 Feb 2019 07:39:32 +0000

This is my 4th article on the topic of Datrium + Oracle, and for this article, I focus on Datrium's ability to provide native FIPS 140-2 compliant software-based end-to-end encryption with near-zero performance impact for Oracle and Busines Critical Applications workloads.

Oracle + Datrium provide Enterprise Performance and Granular Protection with ZERO Performance Impact for Millions of Snapshots

Mon, 21 Jan 2019 09:22:19 +0000

Providing continuity to my Oracle blog series I want to demonstrate how Datrium handles data protection and group policies during high-performance and sustained workloads. For starters, Datrium supports up to 1.2 Million native snapshots, and up to 2,000 snapshots per VM without disrupting running applications.

Scaling Oracle SLOB to 7M IOPS and 55.4GB/s Throughput with Datrium – and the Latency FAKE NEWS!

My previous Oracle article (here) was focused on single-instance performance, and at the end of the post I alluded to the scale-up potential. How many Oracle instances can you run on the same platform?

Datrium AllFlash + Oracle measured with SLOB

Datrium is the perfect platform for running Oracle databases. Solutions can start with a single server and a single datanode and scale up to 10 data nodes and 128 servers as part of a single management domain, and single namespace.

Is Datrium the Best Platform Ever for Oracle RAC?

Sun, 01 Oct 2017 21:55:26 +0000

Last week Datrium announced (here) a partnership with Oracle and the support for Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters). As part of the announcement, we stated that the main reasons for running RAC on Datrium are:

Virtualization101 with Oracle User Group

Last Friday I had the opportunity to present a Virtualization101 seminar at the Oracle and MySQL Sydney User Group, Australia. Firstly I have to thank Pythian for the invite and say that it was a pleasure to talk to such amazing group of people.

Oracle and MySQL VMUG (Virtualize it!)

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:20:00 +0000

Friday, 29th of January, I will be presenting a session about virtualization at the Oracle & MySQL Sydney User meet up. This is their version of our VMUGs.

Virtualization has been voted by Sydney database users as the most interesting subject to be discussed on the first Meet Up of the year, so I am assuming that a cultural change at the database world has begun and is slowly gaining terrain.
