Oracle Accelerates Momentum of Solaris Investment
Al Gillen, Gary Chen, Peter Rutten May 06, 2014
 Oracle continues to demonstrate its willingness to
invest heavily in Solaris and SPARC, and customers
that remain on these platforms have increasingly
attractive solutions available to them. The general
contraction of the Unix market continues to set a macro-
level story that appears negative, but Oracle's investments
in Solaris clearly bucks that trend.
 The company's willingness to embrace the best of open
source for use in Solaris, through the integration of
OpenStack, is a good indication of how the company
plans to compete going forward. To the extent that
Oracle Solaris can integrate with OpenStack private and
public clouds, it expands the opportunities for Oracle.
Further, given the dramatic performance
improvements coming from the SPARC T5 and M6
processors, the company has a strong baseline
platform for all of its products.

 Simple Administration
 Leverages Solaris resource
management and network

 Seamless P2V and V2P
 Locked-down root file system for
both guest and host

Improved Exadata Storage Server X4-2L
Enhanced Smart Flash Cache
• New software caches write I/Os in flash memory
−20x write improvement
−10x write improvement from previous storage servers
• Cache is transparent, persistent, and fully redundant

Exadata Smart Flash Log
Accelerate Transaction Response Times using Flash
 Uses Flash for Database Logs in a clever way
– Flash is fast but has slow outliers
– Erase cycles, wear leveling, etc.
 Smart Flash Log feature transparently uses Flash as a parallel write cache to
disk controller cache
– Whichever write completes first wins (disk or flash)
 Better response time and more throughput
 Uses almost no flash capacity (0.1% of capacity)
Default (on left)
- Choppy response
- High Outliers
Smart Flash Log
- 3x faster response
- Much lower outliers

The Highest Levels of Data Compression
 Results in needing 1/10 as much storage as
competitive solutions
 Increases effective disk bandwidth by 10X
 Compresses even database content – unlike

1 - Bandwidth is peak physical scan bandwidth achieved running SQL, assuming no compression. Effective data bandwidth will be much higher when compression is factored in.
2 - IOPS – Based on read IO requests of size 8K running SQL, typically with sub-millisecond latencies. Note that the IO size greatly effects flash IOPS. Others quote IOPS based on smaller IOs
that are not relevant for databases and measure IOs using low level tools instead of SQL.
3- Actual Performance varies by application.
4 –Load rates are typically limited by database server CPU, not IO. Rates vary based on load method, indexes, data types, compression, and partitioning
