Reduce Latency for OLTP Workloads with Flash Cache

Performance Improvement ExampleSpindle Limited OLTP Workload

12

Flash Cache is More Effective than Adding Disk Drives

Baseline system was FAS3170 with 84 high-performance disks

Tested under OLTP workload

Adding 1TB of Flash Cache increased I/O throughput by 78%

Average response time improved by 30% with Flash Cache

140 more disks needed to get same throughput as 1TB cache

1TB Flash Cache costs 55% less than adding 140 more disks

Sizing Methodology and Approach

16

Integrated System Approach – Physical and Virtual

Compute (servers), network, and storage Based on a “balanced” configuration

(assuming linear scalability within and between building blocks)

Based on workload and database technology

Why NetApp for Oracle

Create On-Demand Database Clones in Seconds Enable Application Recovery in Minutes Reduce IT Cost and Complexity Double DBA Productivity

“By eliminating older, inefficient technologies of existing resources via the shared IT infrastructure with NetApp storage, we avoided building a new two-megawatt data center at an estimated cost of $65 million. Most importantly, we’re spending our money on expanding the business rather than growing a technology footprint.”

Rick KingCTO, Thomson Reuters Professional Division
