Choice of Storage Systems for Oracle Databases

Customers may have different approaches to acquiringstorage

– Storage purchased with server to address specificapplication requirements

– Cross-application storage infrastructure addressing cross-platform requirements for server storage

IBM has storage subsystems to meet customer needs,

regardless of approach to storage management All IBM storage subsystems, including the SAN Volume

Controller, work well with Oracle and Oracle RAC

Oracle Exadata V2 offers scalability, but with a fixed ratio of

CPU cores to disk spindles – Only choice is SAS or SATA

– Same ratio for OLTP and Data Warehouse

– Same ratio whether using compressed data or not
