Make Change Safe

Enabling Change While Maintaining Stability

Barriers to Change
Proactive testing of upgrades is time consuming, costly, and often not as effective as needed
Upgrades still risk disruption of production systems

Many upgrades still require significant downtime Still have to endure potentially long period of instability as bugs are found and fixed
DBAs are asked to do too much to help, e.g., diagnostic patches that require more downtime Software vendors take too long to fix bugs

12

Database Replay

13

The Need for Database Replay

Businesses want to adopt new technology that adds value Extensive testing and validation is expensive in time and cost Despite expensive testing success rate low
Many issues go undetected System availability and performance negatively impacted

Cause of low success rate

Current tools provide inadequate testing Simulate synthetic workload instead of replaying actual production workload Provide partial workflow coverage

Database Replay makes real-world testing possible

14

Database Replay
Replay actual production database workload in test environment Identify, analyze and fix potential instabilities before making changes to production Capture Workload in Production
Capture full production workload with real load, timing & concurrency characteristics Move the captured workload to test system Make the desired changes in test system Replay workload with full production characteristics Honor commit ordering Errors Data divergence Performance divergence

Automate Still More Administrative Functions

Freeing key personal for higher value tasks!

Why Automate?
Free key personal for higher value tasks! Increased DBA productivity Reduce risk of DBA errors Dramatically increase the QOS DBAs deliver
More proactive management and planning Continual optimized performance Higher availability

22

Long Term Project

Goal: Automate all administrative functions Over three releases
Begun in Oracle9i Major focus in Oracle Database 10g Continued major focus in Oracle Database 11g

Three step process

Instrumentation lays measurement infrastructure Advisory monitors the administrative function, identifies suboptimal behaviors, alerts DBA to problems, and advises on corrective actions Automation gives DBAs the option to turn on full automation

The Cost of Same Old Approach

Poor Resource Utilization
Built for peak periods Gartner estimates average server utilization rate at 5-10%!

Standby hardware and software costs virtually double the investment and further reduce useful utilization Management happens in silos
Uneven process maturity across managed silos Availability, security, performance Increased staff Proliferation of tools that have overlapping capabilities Software patching/testing, upgrade tasks are multiplied

Increases information complexity and lowers agility

More data movement required (i.e. increased latency, increased storage, increased integrity issues)
