Business Challenge

Separate infrastructures lead to higher costs, lower ROI on assets, and increased environment complexity• Lower server and storage

utilization• Difficulty meeting service

levels– Maintaining and managing

separate environments– Provisioning inefficiencies– Inconsistent data protection

strategies

EMC Symmetrix VMAX Virtual LUN Technology

LUN migration wizard simplifies the setup for migrations– Allows users seamlessly migrate Oracle database data between LUNs

within the array– Virtual LUN migrations take place within the storage array

Configuration– 18 LUNs were allocated to the virtual machine– Nondisruptively moves storage from RAID 1 to RAID 6

Conclusions

Reduction of cost—server consolidation– Multiple Oracle database environments

consolidated into a two-node VMware cluster– Optimization of hardware means decreased

hardware power, cooling, and licensing costs Ease of application deployment

– Quickly convert from physical to virtual infrastructure using:

▪ VMware vCenter Converter▪ EMC SAN management tools

– Decouple application/database from physical infrastructure

What did the use case illustrate and how can it help you?

Conclusions High availability—reducing data center

downtime with VMware VMotion and VMware HA

– VMotion: Planned downtime—eliminate or greatly reduce at lower cost

– HA: Unplanned downtime—reduce by implementing HA across the virtualized cluster

Storage efficiencies—increased flexibility– Concise building block approach to storage

design– Outlined:

▪ Number of spindles▪ RAID types▪ Volume management options such as RDM and VMFS▪ How to implement RAID group layout and LUN sizes
