If you are looking for highest levels of database performance for your Oracle database then, Oracle Exadata is an outstanding solution. It delivers finest performance for mixed data, data warehousing (DW), analytics, and OLTP (online transaction processing) workloads. Enriched with a variety of deployment options, it lets you run your Oracle Database and other data workloads anywhere you need, whether its on-premises or in the Oracle Cloud. Oracle Exadata storage provides a cutting-edge technology which is simple to use, manage and provides mission-critical accessibility and reliability. Here are 5 reasons stating why should you run the Oracle Database on Oracle Exadata.

5 Reasons Why you Should Run Your Oracle Database on Oracle Exadata | Netsoftmate

1. Bespoke for Oracle Database

Following a standard approach to build your database infrastructure will hamper your business growth. With time, databases grow, which means, your business needs more servers, more storage solutions and more labor to manage it. As a result, the management cost will go up and there is a huge exposure to risk of errors, ultimately hampering your business growth. That’s why each business, big or small, needs a new approach that’s engineered to cater the critical database workloads.

The only technique to handle these critical database workloads is through Oracle Exadata. It is specially equipped to provide high storage bandwidth to seamlessly manage the Oracle Database and other data workloads. Oracle Exadata, as a part of Oracle Engineered System offers a highly integrated platform that delivers more power with less hardware. It eliminates the IT complexity while supplying greater performance, scalability, security and data protection.

2. Increase Employee Productivity

Timely delivery of persuasive data that supports business operations and lessens the time required to deliver new business applications will surely result in better revenue. Oracle Exadata’s congregated and optimized infrastructure platform for database workloads helps the IT staff to spend less time on everyday operations and work more towards other IT development efforts. Accidental outages have less effect on employees and business operations that have lesser database related failures.

The consolidated Oracle Exadata platform provides an economical base for Oracle database operations. It increases employee productivity and helps grow revenues with less cost and complexity. With an enhanced performance up to 100X faster, accessing the data becomes easy and you can engage with customers quickly. With the same power, you can consolidate your databases onto a single platform, and deliver more than four times the density

3. Achieve Operational Benefits

Businesses that rely on multiple vendors may face problems in managing a complex database infrastructure. Retaining and managing each database and server overstrains IT staff, and establishing new applications can take longer than usual. You may also need IT specialists to take care of each different component. As the number of applications and their associated databases increases, your admin costs go up, and so will your data center footprint.

Oracle Exadata delivers greater database and application performance with less hardware—and fewer licenses. Oracle Exadata, from Oracle Engineered Systems means easier upgrades, tuning, patching, observing and support, so you can manage your costs. They process transactions faster, complete queries in less time, and have decreased load and backup recovery times.

4. Maximize Accessibility

Positive data security and database uptime are critical components that directly impact the business operations and revenue progress. Database collapse makes it tough to establish dependable security, plan and policies for sensitive data. There are too many points of control to monitor and maintain. A larger base is vulnerable to attack and there’s hardly enough budget for the specialist skills vital to manage it.

That’s the reason; businesses use Oracle Exadata to run their most important Oracle database and other data workloads. With software and hardware operational together, Oracle Exadata eliminates system downtime, using its in-built flexibility and redundancy. With Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, you can get the ultimate in invincible uptime. The benefits include, less business impact from outages, less IT impact in managing downtime and reliable application and developer productivity.

5. Invest in the Cloud

Businesses always plan for a simple and comprehensive cloud strategy and application. Ideally, businesses strategize to invest in an architecture offering an apt pathway to a cloud consumption model for the future. A full-proof plan that is flexible to mix and match on-premises deployment with a well-matched public cloud option, whether that’s for development, improvement and testing or ensuring business endurance.

Oracle Exadata offers the best of both worlds for the database and the business. Businesses can either purchase and manage on-premises Oracle Exadata or choose an Oracle Database Cloud Exadata Service. Oracle Cloud service is equivalent to an on-premises Oracle Exadata, just with a different consumption model. That’s why all the components of Oracle Engineered System are a powerful set of options. They are designed with the same architecture, with all the same benefits. All you need to do is choose which consumption model works best for you.

10 Easy Steps To Patch Oracle Exadata X8M RoCE Switch

By Netsoftmate on

April 16, 2020

- Database Management Services, Oracle Exadata, Oracle Exadata X8M, Remote Database Management

The Oracle Exadata X8M release implements 100 Gb/sec RoCE network fabric, making the world’s fastest database machine even faster.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine X8M introduces a brand new high-bandwidth low-latency 100 Gb/sec RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) Network Fabric that connects all the components inside an Exadata Database Machine. Specialized database networking protocols deliver much lower latency and higher bandwidth than is possible with generic communication protocols for faster response time for OLTP operations and higher throughput for analytic workloads.

The ORacle Exadata X8M release provides the next generation in ultra-fast cloud scale networking fabric, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) allows one computer to directly access data from another without Operating System or CPU involvement, for high bandwidth and low latency. The network card directly reads/writes memory with no extra copying or buffering and very low latency.

RDMA is an integral part of the Exadata high-performance architecture, and has been tuned and enhanced over the past decade, underpinning several Exadata-only technologies such as Exafusion Direct-to-Wire Protocol and Smart Fusion Block Transfer. As the RoCE API infrastructure is identical to InfiniBand’s, all existing Exadata performance features are available on RoCE.

Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) OAKCLI vs. ODACLI

By Netsoftmate on

June 17, 2019

- Database Management Services, Oracle Database Appliance - ODA, Oracle Database Management Solution, Oracle Databases, Remote Database Management, Uncategorized

ODA is basically a 2-node RAC cluster database system running Oracle Linux operating (OEL), Oracle Database Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition, Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Clusterware and ASM). All these together provides the Oracle Database high availability running on ODA.

In 2016, Oracle added 3 new models to expand Oracle Database Appliance portfolio. These 3 new models are:

Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S (single-instance database)
Oracle Database Appliance X6-2M (single-instance database)
Oracle Database Appliance X6-2L (single-instance database)

The High Available ODA X6-2 is now known as X6-2 HA which consists of 2 nodes and a storage shelf and optionally an additional storage shelf.

In October 2017, Oracle announced Oracle Database Appliance X7-2 (Small, Medium and HA). ODA X7-2 comes with more computing resources compared with X6-2 Models.

Oracle Database Appliance X7-2S (single-instance database)
Oracle Database Appliance X7-2M (single-instance database)
Oracle Database Appliance X7-2 HA

With ODA X7-2, the ODA Large configuration is discontinued.

With the different model families there is always a confusion that which command line tool to be used for managing, monitoring and administrating Oracle Database Appliance.

In this article we will explain different command line tools that can be used to manage and administer an Oracle Database Appliance Small, Medium, Large and HA models for both Bare Metal and Virtualized Platform environment.

Let’s look at the different command line tools available:

OAKCLI: oakcli stands for Oracle Appliance Kit Command Line Interface. oakcli utility is used to manage Oracle Database Appliance. It used to carry out management tasks such as, Deploying, Patching, validating, monitoring, troubleshooting, Create Database, create database homes, configuring core key, manage Virtual machines and so on.

ODACLI: It is used for Hardware and administrative tasks on the Oracle Database Appliance, Example: Hardware monitoring and Storage Configuration

ODAADMICLI: It is used for everyday task on the Oracle Database Appliance, Example: Database Creation, Patches and upgrades, Job creation and manage and so on.

The following table provides a quick reference on when to use oakcli Vs. odacli/odaadmcli

For Oracle Database Appliance software version 12.2.1.4 or older use the tools as shown in the following table

Oakcli	odacli/odaadmcli
ODA V1	ODA X6-2 S, M, L
ODA X3-2	ODA X7-2 S, M
ODA X4-2	ODA X7-2 HA (Bare Metal only)
ODA X5-2
ODA X6-2 HA
ODA X7-2 HA (VM Only)

For Oracle Database Appliance software version 18.3.0.0 and later user the tools as shown in the following table

oakcli	odacli/odaadmcli
All hardware versions running Virtualized platform	All hardware versions running Bare Metal (physical)

Examples using oakcli, odacli and odaadmcli:
