Business Drivers
Data protection concerns that keep customers awake at night
• Data loss exposure
- ESG 2008 estimates that 1 in7 (14%) backups and 1 in 6 (17%) restores fail.
• Meeting SLA's: shrinking backup windows; slow recovery processes
• Reducing costs (CAPEX, OPEX) and improving staff efficiency
• Complexity of BU&R process and the storage environment
• Data growth that is compounding year over year

• Account Control / Trusted Advisor
- Competition from vendors such as EMC/Data Domain, and
NetApp is very real and competes against both Oracle HW and
SW offerings.
- Competitors must sell data services to add value to their
hardware: replication, compression, dedupe, encryption, etc.
- These data services compete directly with GoldenGate,
Advanced Data Guard, Advanced Compression, SecureFiles,
and Advanced Security

Simplicity
• Implementation
– Already tested, validated, and supported together
– Integrated InfiniBand simplifies implementation
• Consistent with data center policy/best practices
– DD needs full BU’s to reach 6.3:1 dedupe ratio
• Effectively an “incrementals forever” strategy
• Full BU’s unnecessarily burden the network
• RMAN incremental only backs up changed blocks

Speed & Reduced Risk
Data Protection is all about reducing risk
• According to ESG 2008, 1 in 6 (17%) of restores fail. This can be
attributed, in large part, to lengthy recoveries requiring several “shifts”
to complete.
• ZFS 7420C has recovery throughput to effectively accommodate
recoveries in as little as 5 hours for DB’s up to 35TB
• Optimize system availability with predictive self-healing features
and a Fault Management Architecture that automatically detects
and diagnoses underlying problems
• Achieve greater data protection with integrated fault management,
and end-to-end data checksumming that automatically checks and
repairs corrupted data down to the bit level

ExaBackup
Competing Against NetApp
Strengths
• Storage Industry leader (#2 NAS
vendor) with loyal customer base
• Extensive application integration
• Strong Oracle partnership and
integration with Enterprise Manager,
Secure Backup, ASM, RMAN (“Easy
buttons” abound)
- SnapManager for Oracle
Weaknesses
• Expensive HW, SW & maintenance costs:
Closed and proprietary enclosures and
ONTAP operating system limit ability to
leverage industry standard technology
• Limited backup & restore throughputs
(2.7TB/hr and 5.4TB/hr, respectively, for
3170C – OOW 2010) compared to 9TB/hr
and 7TB/hr for 7420C
Why Oracle Wins
• ZFS 7420C provides ~130% the restore throughput of 3170C enabling customers to get back to
business after an outage more quickly.
• ZFS 7420C provides over 200% greater backup throughput enabling more stringent backup
window requirements.

ExaBackup
Competing Against EMC Data Domain
Strengths
• Variable block dedupe is effective with
backups
• Deduped replication (optional)
• Compression included
• 3rd Party Integration
- Oracle RMAN, NBU (OST), EBS,
etc
Weaknesses
• Expensive
- DD880 48TB $460,000
• Replication extra
- DD880 $70,000
• Poor management tools
- No capacity planning
• Dedupe of Oracle DB’s ~6.3:1 w/RMAN
incrementals – some customers report
getting 4-10:1 w/ZFS compression (EMC
Tech doc H6835)
• Poor RMAN backup and restore
throughput (2.8TB/hr and 2.3TB/hr
respectively for DD880 – EMC Tech doc
H6835)Why Oracle Wins
• ZFS 7420C has greater than 200% restore throughput than more costly
DD880

ExaBackup
Strategy
• DD needs to do daily full backups to reach it’s
stated dedupe ratio.
- Customers won’t see this result if doing daily
incrementals and weekly fulls
- Crates unnecessary load on Exadata IB
network and I/O on DB nodes further
reducing claimed backup throughput
- Advanced Compression and EHCC will
provide similar or better space savings than
DD dedupe.
- If using RMAN backup images (and
incremental merge), ZFS compression may
be used. This method would also obviate
DD’s dedupe feature.
- Data Domain, and others, want customers to
backup > dedupe > compress > encrypt in
that order so that they can remain relevant.
Disrupt this cycle by leveraging various
Oracle compression methods and
encryption.
- Make the issue recovery throughput/RTO

ExaBackup
What to say
• Extol the virtues of EHCC and Advanced
Compression. This will help to obviate DD’s
space savings story. DD won’t be able to
dedupe (much) if the tables are already
compressed. Only ZFSSA and Axiom enable
access to EHCC’d tables without first
uncompressing. Lastly, it also takes their
replication out of the deal.
• If the customer (for whatever reason) doesn’t do
EHCC or any other DB compression, ZFS
compression provides about the same space
savings for RMAN backups as DD dedupe – for
a lot less $.
• Customer shouldn’t have to do daily full BU’s to
realize DD’s space savings. It creates additional
load on the network which makes it unlikely that
they’ll see DD’s claimed BU throughputs
• Make the issue recovery throughput/RTO

Agenda
for BU&R of Exadata
• Value Proposition / Key Messages
• Competition
• Resources

Solution Description
• The ZFS Storage appliance is a backup target for RMAN
from Exadata. Connection is direct via IPoIB.
Configuration details & tuning are available in Technical
WP here.
• Potential deployment scenarios
Scenario 1: The ZFSSA will be used as the disk target in a D2D
environment in cooperation with RMAN.
Scenario 2: The ZFSSA is a backup target for RMAN. RMAN pulls
backup from ZFSSA then pushes to tape. Restores from tape are
direct and managed by RMAN
Scenario 3: The ZFSSA is a backup target for RMAN then backed up to
tape via NDMP. Restores from tape are to ZFSSA then RMAN restores
from ZFSSA to DBM
For Exadata customers with more stringent RPO/RTO, a DR architecture
with a 2nd Exadata is recommended for data protection.

Solution Deployment Scenarios
Scenario 1: Disk to Disk
FC
RMAN
IPoIB or 10GbE

Scenario 1: Pros & Cons
Pros
• No 3rd party BU&R licenses to
procure and manage
- No agent to install on DBM
• Quick restores and backups
- 9TB/hr backup
- 7TB/hr restore
• Not exclusive to tape – may be
added later
• Oracle tested, validated,
supported
• Faster/easier to implement than
“roll your own” IB media server
• Compliments RMAN corruption
detection with ZFS
checksumming and self healing
Cons
• No “SWITCH…TO COPY”
command

Scenario 2: Disk to Disk to Tape
FC
RMAN
IPoIB or 10GbE
BU 2 Tape #1
BU 2 & Restore
from Tape #2

Pros
• Preserve “versions” on tape
• Leverage existing tape
infrastructure
• RMAN aware backups on tape:
BACKUP BACKUPSET
• Recovery from tape 1 step
process
• Lower TCO for long term storage
detection with ZFS
Cons
• Additional load on DB servers for
backup to tape
• Control of back given to 3rd party
backup vendor
command

Scenario 3: Disk to Disk to Tape
FC
RMAN
IPoIB or 10GbE
NDMP to Tape

Pros
• Preserve “versions” on tape
• Leverage existing tape
infrastructure
• No DB server resources for
moving to tape
• No agent to install on DBM
detection with ZFS
capabilities
Cons
• No “RMAN aware” backup on
tape
• 2 step restore process (tape >
ZFSSA > RMAN)
command

ZFSSA BU&R for Exadata
Configuration Notes
• 7420C
- Each head: 2x8-core CPU’s, 128GB DRAM, Read SSD’s not
necessary
• 2-8 disk trays
- 1st tray has 4 Write SSD’s & 20 HDD’s
- Additional trays have 20 HDD’s
- RAIDZ
- Throughputs may vary with RAID level and client (Exadata)
configuration/tuning
- RAID1 will improve performance of RMAN incremental merge and
ancillary app’s if ZFSSA is multipurposed (snaps/clones, etc.)
- Pool and share configuration guidance in the technical WP here.
• Direct connect to Exadata
- Only way to leverage RMAN incremental merge to obviate
competitors feature/functionality

Configuration Notes
• Compression
- EHCC compression is table compression, meaning it is applied to tables inside the
database.
- The Advanced Compression Option (ACO) is a separately licensed database
option that has several compression features – Hybrid Columnar Compression
OLTP table compression, SecureFiles Compression and Deduplication, Data Pump
export compression, RMAN backup compression, and Data Guard redo transport
compression.
- RMAN backup compression is part of the ACO.
- ZFS compression is part of the ZFSSA, HCC is a separately licensed feature and
requires ACO.
If a table is compressed with EHCC, then it can only be read when it is stored on Exadata or
another HCC-enabled platform like ZFSSA or Axiom. If that table is moved to non-HCC
storage, then it must be uncompressed before it can be read (or modified) - this is
supported using ALTER TABLE MOVE or online redefinition as of 11.2.0.2. Could require
10-15x additional disk space.
The customer should compare and contrast the performance and space savings of enabling
compression at various levels - though on Exadata it's pretty clear that EHCC table
compression will give tremendous space savings AND performance boosts for read-only
and read-mostly scenarios, so the real question is whether RMAN backup compression or
ZFSSA compression makes more sense, and the answer to that question will vary based
on the environment.

General Considerations*
• Recommendations
- Size for capacity as throughput performance doesn’t vary
significantly with disk tray count after 4 trays
- Most restore errors arise because the restore occurs over 2 or
more shifts. Recommend RTO’s of 5 hours or less
- In 11gr2/Exadata environments:
• Use RMAN “incremental merge” image backups
• Daily snaps for version preservation
- For backing up the ZFSSA to tape, see documentation here.
- For backing up Exadata to tape, see here.
* See Resources slide for links to more detailed sizing/configuration information
