 Oracle Cloud Storage
- Automatic Storage Management (ASM), a feature of Oracle Database, provides the database administrator with a simple storage management interface that is consistent across all server and storage platforms. As a vertically integrated file system and volume manager, purpose-built for Oracle database files, ASM provides the performance of direct async I/O with the easy management of a file system. ASM provides features that saves DBAs time and provides flexibility to manage a dynamic database environment with increased efficiency. ASM key benefits are:
- Simplifies and automates storage management .
- Increases storage utilization and agility.
- Delivers predictable performance, availability and scalability .
The Oracle Cloud File System (CloudFS) provides unprecedented simplicity in storage management, automation in provisioning and storage consolidation for general purpose files. CloudFS is a storage cloud infrastructure with resource pooling, network accessibility, rapid elasticity and rapid provisioning that are key requirements for cloud computing environments. The product includes: Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (ADVM) ADVM provides a common volume management service and a standard device driver interface for system administrators to manage across different platforms. ACFS and 3rd party file systems can use ASM Dynamic Volumes to create and manage file systems leveraging all the power and functionality of ASM features. Therefore, an ADVM volume may be easily resized to adapt to the storage need of a file system without any downtime. Oracle ASM Cluster File System (ACFS) A general-purpose POSIX, X/OPEN and Windows compliant file system designed for single node and cluster configurations. ACFS is managed using native operating system commands, ASM asmcmd and the Oracle Enterprise Manager. ACFS supports advanced data services such as point-in-time copy snapshots, file system replication and tagging as well as file system security and encryption.

Oracle Cloud File System is designed to help organizations deploy their applications, databases, and storage in private clouds. It delivers a cloud infrastructure that provides network access, rapid elasticity and provisioning for pooled storage resources that are the key requirements for cloud computing. With Oracle Cloud File System customers can use Oracle Database features to manage application data stored outside of an Oracle Database. Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System is an industry standard, general-purpose cluster file system for managing file data that is not stored in an Oracle Database. It offers integrated data services to protect file system data from human error, disk failure and disaster. Plus, security features offer fine grained access control and file encryption. Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manage Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manager provides volume management support for Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System and other third-party file systems. It leverages the power of Oracle Automatic Storage Management to create elastic storage environments with the ability to add or remove disks as data volumes increase or decrease. Automatic rebalancing and striping features eliminate hot spots and guarantee that Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manager volumes are always balanced for optimal performance and eliminates the need for third-party volume management software. Increase Flexibility and Lower Your TCO with Server Virtualization. Server virtualization is changing the way IT organizations operate. And Intel� server processors are extending the benefits of software virtualization far beyond consolidation to increase data center flexibility, productivity, and TCO. Intel� server processors with virtualization built in, such as the Intel� Xeon� processor 5600 series, the Intel� Xeon� processor 7500 series, and the Intel� Itanium� processor 9300 series, deliver these benefits. To help you get the most out of virtualization, Intel has built a better physical server platform with unique hardware-assist features. These hardware-assist features accelerate fundamental virtualization processes throughout the platform to reduce latencies and avoid potential bottlenecks, giving you better value from your server and software investments. Because Intel server processors let you do more with less, you can realize energy efficiency and reduce server sprawl. And with remote management features, the ease of failover, and seamless live migrations, you can keep both you and your users happy with reduced support costs and increased uptime levels. ROI Analysis Resultsintel Virtualizing business-computing environment would generate substantial estimated savings of USD 17.6 million to 27.7 million over five years. Reduced server capital costs were the largest contributor, followed by network switch and storage savings. |  See how virtualization using Intel� Xeon� processors enables you to boost performance and lower costs Go to the intel ROI Estimator |
| Implementing virtualization Intel IT has begun deploying virtualized production environments at several data centers. This multi-year initiative has showed virtualization benefits including faster deployment, server consolidation ratios between 10:1 and 16:1, and faster recovery. Download the PDF |

Manage WorkloadsGoalsConsolidation with virtualization can reduce complexity by reducing the number of physical devices. But as the number of virtual servers and storage systems increases, other types of “sprawl†can be created. Your IT staff may find themselves occupied with different IT problems – instead of solving business issues. You need all of your provisioning, management and diagnostic tools available on a single pane of glass for simplified systems management and monitoring. The AdvantagesIBM offers innovative software solutions designed to help you simplify and unify management across your virtualized infrastructure. Support ongoing cost savings- Utilize capacity and energy management to enable further consolidation and reduce data center energy costs.
- Enable common integrated management tools across the infrastructure, regardless of domain or platform.
- Increase IT staff productivity.
Improve service delivery- Accelerate identification and remediation of issues and bottlenecks.
- Map dependencies in real time across components to proactively identify potential issues.
- Automate routine administrative tasks to improve response time and reduce user error.
Increase business agility- Accelerate planning and implementation with reference architectures and decision support frameworks.
