Workload Resource ManagementFor mixed Workloads and Multi-Databases

• Ensure databases get correct amount of I/O and CPU resources‒ ERP: 33% of resources‒ BW: 67% of resources

• Ensure ERP tasks get correct resources‒ Interactive gets priority before Batch

•Ensure BW tasks get correct resources ‒ Reporting: 70% of resources‒ ETL: 30% of resources

SAP Customer Case Study

• Business Background‒ European B-2-B stationery and office supply retailer ‒ Operates in 30+ countries‒ 30% growth expected within next 4 years

• Challenges ‒ Long-running invoicing batch run times‒ Cost and effort to administer large number of SAP databases‒ New B-2-B process couldn‘t be supported on current system

20

Customer’s Requirements

• Goals‒ Expose “real“ SAP workloads to an Exadata environment‒ Measure performance increase (throughput & response times)‒ Show how Oracle technology can help minimize the impact of

hardware and software failures for the business

• Conditions ‒ Use standardized Oracle Exadata configuration‒ No manual tuning or configuration changes‒ All tests administered by customer's staff

21

Conducting Proof of Conceptat Oracle Solution Centre in UK

• Preparation‒ Installation of the entire IT infrastructure for SAP‒ Upgrade 6.5 TB data from Oracle Database 10g to Exadata‒ Generate simulation of online users in a web shop‒ Generate batch job load for invoicing

• Execution Environment ‒ Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 Half-Rack‒ 5 x Sun Blade 6270 M2 running Solaris10 for Application Tier ‒ All tests administered by customer's staff

22

Results from Proof of Concept“Faster performance out-of-the-box”

• Online User Activity‒ Simulated over 6,000 concurrent users‒ Response times of ~0.9s with 17% CPU utilization across 4 nodes‒ Unable to “saturate“ system

• Batch Job Results‒ Simulated over 900 batch jobs running in parallel ‒ Reduced batch run times by 2/3rds (11:30 to 3:45 hours)‒ Only 2 Database Server nodes used for batch jobs
