SPARC T-Series Benefits Accelerate Your Business


Wall Street Journal & Forbes reported:

Oracle executive vice-president John Fowler makes the case for why

speed—and price—matter today more than ever before:

“Against IBM’s best published results, using independently

confirmed industry-standard public benchmarks, Oracle

delivered 5x, 7x, even 12x better cost performance,”

Fowler said. “Oracle’s Sparc T5 performance and cost

performance advantages are so huge that subtle changes

in IBM configuration specifics don’t make up that gap. IBM

customers are being wildly over-charged for the

performance they’re getting.”


Oracle to IBM Customers …

BusinessInsider.com, in an article headlined Oracle To IBM: Your

‘Customers Are Being Wildly Overcharged’, quoted Larry Ellison as

framing the new gap between Oracle and IBM this way:

“ You can go faster, but only if you are willing to pay

80% less than what IBM charges.”

DATA CENTER SOLUTIONS WITH ORACLE VIRTUAL

NETWORKING


Financial Services Needed More Capacity for Peak Times

SITUATION

• Leading Financial Services firm

headquartered in the UK, with additional

offices and operations in Europe, North

America and Australia and Asia

• Providing many foreign exchange

services to more than 2,500 corporate

clients in over 100 different industry

sectors

CHALLENGES

• Increasing business and new on-line

client services demanded more capacity

• Necessary upgrades would be

prohibitively expensive with traditional

architecture

• Current architecture lacked “any-to-any”

connectivity and could not add extra

capacity on demand for peak workloads


Financial Services Added Capacity On Demand With Consolidation

RESULTS SOLUTIONS

• A dynamic data center with Oracle Virtual

Networking and VMware ESX

• Oracle Virtual Networking:

- Any-to-any connectivity provides

connections from any server to any

storage and network type

- Open architecture helps protect

investment in existing SAN, FC and

Ethernet networks

• Server consolidation of 10 to 1

• IT infrastructure consolidation

- Reduction in the number of Ethernet

and Fibre Channel ports

- Reduction of rack space requirements

at the primary and DR sites

• Extra server capacity on demand

- DR site reconfigured quickly to absorb

peak traffic workloads

• Predictable performance with Quality of

Service controls


Bluelock Needed Adaptable and Faster Infrastructure

SITUATION CHALLENGES

• Enterprise cloud hosting provider, one of

only a handful of companies certified to

offer “VMware vCloud® Datacenter

Services”

• Clients can fluidly migrate their VMware-

based applications to Virtual Datacenters

hosted in the public cloud

• Clients can get started with projects

quickly and enjoy the freedom to change

their minds as IT needs evolve

• Increasing infrastructure complexity:

- Every server needed 10 physical I/O

connections

- 50 network devices required to deploy

every 500 virtual machines

• Evacuation of all the VMs takes hours,

limiting the number of VMs that could

reside on a single server

• Modifications to add new capability or

new resources were time consuming

V

M VM VM


Bluelock Achieved 40X more Usable Bandwidth per Server with Virtualization

RESULTS SOLUTIONS

• Oracle Virtual Networking significantly

simplified infrastructure

• High throughput server-to-server

communications enable faster vMotion

event

• Configuration changes can be made

entirely in software, allowing resources to

be re-assigned in minutes

• Wire-once environment streamlines

disaster recovery services

• 40X more usable bandwidth per server

• 17X more VMs per hardware device

• 8X greater virtual machine capacity

• 97.5% fewer network devices

• 66% less I/O cabling

• Lower power consumption and

improved uptime

V

M VM VM


Carbon60 Networks Needed Scalable Cloud Platform

SITUATION CHALLENGES

• IT services company specializing in

mission-critical Web hosting service

delivery

• Customers include Canada’s largest

media and telecommunications

companies and high-profile public sector

organizations

• Looking for game-changing innovative

technologies to address requirements of

Carbon60’s business users

• Scalable cloud computing platform to

meet enterprise customer performance

requirements

• Linear scaling for both storage & I/O

capacity

• Better quality of service on the cloud

platform’s storage fabric

• Reduce complexity and cost of managing

multiple, physical, Ethernet and Fibre

Channel networks


Carbon60 Networks Improves Cloud Platform Performance by 20x

SOLUTIONS RESULTS

• Next-generation cloud computing platform

based on Oracle’s Pillar Axiom 600 and

Oracle Fabric Interconnect

• Pillar Axiom:

- Modular architecture to expand with

customer data growth to ensure a high

quality of service

• Oracle Virtual Networking:

- Dynamic connections to servers,

networks and storage

- Enabling central configuration of all

virtual networks

• Adding storage capacity quickly

without impacting service

• Simplified system management

• Up to 20x higher throughput, compared

to the first-generation platform, enhancing

To understand the level of potential savings, a 5-year TCO analysis was done replacing an IBM configuration with ten (10) IBM Power P570s,

Power 6+ processors and legacy SAN storage with the Oracle Optimized Solution for Oracle Database using two (2) Oracle SPARC T5-4

servers and storage. For this analysis, it was assumed that this was a replacement of an existing deployment, therefore Oracle Database

Enterprise Edition and Oracle Real Application Cluster licensing was transferred. The analysis results showed the significant benefits of the

Oracle Optimized Solution for Oracle Database over the legacy IBM system. Five-year Total Cost of Ownership savings of $4.8 million, 5 to 1

server consolidation, 3.5x lower power and cooling costs.
