As enterprises migrate to Oracle Database 10g, they'll require robust software solutions to manage the performance and availability of new 10g implementations while continuing to manage complex heterogeneous environments Using hardware and system software from different vendors. Organizations often use computers, operating systems and databases from a variety of vendors. Contrast with homogeneous environment. that include other applications and databases. VERITAS offers a comprehensive range of industry leading availability, performance and automation software for Oracle Database 10g instances while enabling utility computing (1) Pay-per-usage processing provided by a service organization that uses its own computers and facilities. Customers access the computers via a private network or over the Internet and are charged according to how much computing time they use, such as CPU seconds, minutes or hours. across heterogeneous IT environments. In addition, VERITAS Storage Foundation Veritas Storage Foundation, previously known as Veritas Foundation Suite, combines Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) and Veritas File System (VxFS) to provide a complete solution for online storage management. It is currently developed and maintained by Symantec Corporation. (TM) 4.0 for Sun Solaris has been certified on Oracle Database 10g while other platforms are slated for certification in 2005. E[acute accent]Top Ten VERITAS Benefits E[acute accent]1. Increased Flexibility and Heterogeneity het·er·o·ge·ne·i·ty n. The quality or state of being heterogeneous. heterogeneity the state of being heterogeneous. -- The use of a common set of technologies is a prerequisite to single and multi-site datacenter management and enterprises typically do not have the extra system/storage administrator resources to learn and optimize point administration and management solutions for each application/platform/database. VERITAS software is heterogeneous and utilizes the same storage management and clustering technologies to support a broad range of industry leading applications and databases assuring hardware and database independence. E[acute accent]2. Reduced Storage Management Costs -- VERITAS solutions enable system and storage administrators to take advantage of Oracle Database 10g while continuing to manage their heterogeneous storage environments, utilizing the tools and skills they have already mastered without the need to add any additional complexities to the database architecture. New tools in VERITAS Storage Foundation software such as Quality of Storage Service (QoSS) also allow administrators to identify and move unimportant un·im·por·tant adj. Not important; petty. un  im·por tance n. or old files to less expensive storage without changing the way users or applications access the files. E[acute accent]3. Database Data Protection -- VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC In database computing, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) — an extra-charge[1] option for the Oracle Database software produced by Oracle Corporation — provides clustering and high availability in Oracle database environments. includes both volume level and file system level snapshot technologies. VERITAS Storage Foundation software is heterogeneous and does not lock administrators into selecting a single brand of storage array so off-host backup or development/quality assurance servers need not consume the same high performance, high cost storage as their production database counterparts. In addition, VERITAS solutions also allow incremental backups See backup types. (operating system) incremental backup - A kind of backup that copies all files which have changed since the date of the previous backup. The first backup of a file system should include all files - a "full backup". Call this level 0. , advanced snapshot technology and instant recovery of data ensuring protection of database and application environments. E[acute accent]4. Application Performance Management -- VERITAS i3(TM) application performance management software analyzes applications running on top of Oracle Database 10g instances in real-time, enabling administrators to pinpoint the root cause of application problems and correlate them across all application tiers, and provide recommendations on how to correct them before they impact users. Applications that perform at optimal levels translate into higher productivity for internal users and a better experience for external customers. E[acute accent]5. Database Performance -- In Oracle distributed computing environments See DCE. Distributed Computing Environment - (DCE) An architecture consisting of standard programming interfaces, conventions and server functionalities (e.g. naming, distributed file system, remote procedure call) for distributing applications transparently across networks , information flows along diverse paths connecting a multitude of applications, database servers and storage subsystems The part of a computer system that provides the storage. It includes the controller and disk drives. See storage system. . VERITAS enhances high-performance database I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output infrastructure with tools that provide database administrators insightful guidance into the source of application performance issues and real time options to remedy those issues. E[acute accent]6. Increased Availability -- VERITAS' Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP DMP Dossier Médical Personnel (France) DMP Debt Management Plan DMP Debt Management Program DMP Digital Media Project DMP Dot Matrix Printer DMP Designated Mailer Protocol DMP Dynamic Multi-Pathing ) functionality found in VERITAS Storage Foundation software has the widest storage array support in the industry allowing enterprises to effectively avoid single vendor lock in. New tools in VERITAS Cluster Server Veritas Cluster Server (also known as VCS) is a High-availability cluster software, for Unix, Linux and Microsoft Windows computer systems, created by Veritas Software (now part of Symantec). such as cluster simulator (1) Software that enables the execution of an application written for a different computer environment. Same as emulator. (2) Software that models the interactions of hypothetical or real-world objects or business processes. and the fire drill capabilities allow modeling and testing of Oracle Database 10g instances without impacting production systems improving the overall effectiveness of High Availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. and Disaster Recovery planning. E[acute accent]7. All Data/File Types Treated Equally -- The VERITAS Cluster File System The Veritas Cluster File System, (or VxCFS), is a cache coherent POSIX compliant shared file system built based upon VERITAS File System. It is distributed with a built-in Cluster Volume Manager (VxCVM) and components of other VERITAS Storage Foundation products - particularly allows for sharing of all types of files across all nodes in clustered datacenter environments. In addition to the Oracle data files used in the database, many other types of files are needed across all nodes in heterogeneous IT environments. VERITAS provides a single storage management solution that eliminates layers of complexity and eliminates ongoing administration headaches. E[acute accent]8. Protection from Split Brain and Database Corruption -- Split Brain is a serious concern in Oracle database environments and occurs when nodes within a cluster lose communication with one another leading to database corruption. VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC protects users from Split Brain with its innovative I/O Fencing technology protecting database integrity at the storage layer thereby ensuring that servers behave well and remain coordinated in accessing shared data files. E[acute accent]9. Utility Computing -- Many customers are transitioning toward a utility computing model where data is always available, services are delivered at specified levels, and storage management is automated. VERITAS' strategy for enabling utility computing achieves these goals and represents a natural progression from VERITAS' leadership in backup, storage management, and clustering software. E[acute accent]10. 15 Years of Innovation -- VERITAS has a 15 year proven track record of success in the storage management, data protection and high availability markets.
