IBM Aix 7.2 Flash Cache

Read Cache
Flash
memory
Power System SAN
running AIX 7.2 IBM, non-IBM

• Boosts I/O performance for reads (higher throughput and lower latency)

• AIX determines what is “hot data” and stores a copy in flash memory (cache)

• Reads become very fast for “hot data”


• Writes continue to the SAN
• Can offload congestion on connection to SAN improving write performance
• The caching is managed by AIX and doesn’t require any application changes,
which simplifies the implementation of flash caching

Virtualization on Power Systems – Power advantages

• Virtualization is build into the system, “Hardware based virtualization”


• Therefore there is no overhead when you consolidate several systems
onto one Power server
• Competitors only have software based virtualization which suffer from
partially extreme overhead depending on system size and load
• VMWare, Xen, Oracle VM (based on Xen) are software based
• Only Oracle VM for SPARC also offers firmware-based hypervisor, but that
one does not support sharing of CPU / memory / adapter resources
or dynamic reallocation  no efficient consolidation possible

Workload Consolidation

Consolidation allows you to:


• Size your system for the average usage plus overhead for peaks of some
LPARs (but not all as long as peaks do not happen at the same time)
• Save licenses (share CPU resources)
• Save memory (Compression, Sharing), Physical Adapters (Sharing)
• Followup-Costs
– Network (How expensive is one managed LAN/SAN port?)
– Rack / Floor Space
– Power / Cooling

RAC – Really needed if running on Power Systems?

• Costs 50% On Top of Enterprise Edition


• Really needed for all (consolidated) instances?
• By building more than one Shared Processor Pool you will need to buy RAC licenses
only for a part of the system while still being able to consolidate
• Higher overall performance
• Power Systems provides single machines which can handle “your workload”
• In addition RAC introduces scalability problems which might cause you to rewrite /
modify your application and/or schema (Sequences, Indexes on ascending / date
columns)
• Higher availability
• Power Systems have the highest availability and RAS features on the UNIX market
• No need to invest in Oracle RAC to have a high availability,
PowerHA might be enough

Oracle Licensing is based on a processor core basis

Almost all Oracle software products are licensed on the physical CPU.

For most products, a processor core factor (PCF) is applied to the


number of processor cores.

Oracle Database Licensing and Virtualization on POWER
You need Oracle License only for the cores that you really use for Oracle
■ Oracle officially supports hardware virtualization and PowerVM
• LPAR is supported by Oracle since 2001
• PowerVM features : Shared CPU Pool, Live Partition Mobility, Active Memory Expansion, …
Since POWER6 : each core needs one processor license.
■ IBM PowerVM specifications are taken into account for licenses count : You only pay for the maximum
processing power LPARs can reach automatically.
• Dedicated CPU : Number of CPU License Cost = Core factor * nb of well used cores
• Capped LPAR : rounded up number of CPU
• Uncapped LPAR : number of virtual processors (vCPU)

• Work that peaks at the same time • Work that peaks at different times

Oracle Database Licensing and Virtualization on POWER
• Practical case with Shared Processor Pool (SPP)
• Asses the average workload and peaks and define a shared Processor pool with the corresponding
capacity to reduce the Oracle licensing

CPU = 2.6 / VP = 4

CPU = 1.7 / VP = 4
= 16 processor licenses
CPU = 3.1 / VP = 4

CPU = 2.8 / VP = 4

The CPU monitoring shows a maximum cumulated workload for 6.3


Define a Shared Processor Pool with 7 CPUs

CPU = 2.6 / VP = 4

CPU = 1.7 / VP = 4
= 7 processor licenses
CPU = 3.1 / VP = 4

CPU = 2.8 / VP = 4
By defining a Shared Processor Pool with
Virtual Shared Processor Pool with 7 processors 7 CPUs the number of Oracle Licenses
required is reduced from 16 to 7.

TCO Study Power vs Exadata- Executive Overview

The objective of this TCO Study is to demonstrate the cost savings that can be
achieved by refreshing to IBM POWER8 technology, over a 5-year period.

• Study Objectives:
• 5-year cost comparison for deploying Oracle Database workloads

• Cases Evaluated:
• Case 1 – IBM Power (POWER7) 770 – Existing Infrastructure Today
• Case 2 – Oracle Exadata Database Machine (Intel Haswell-EP) X5-2 Extreme Flash (EF)
• Case 3 – IBM Power System (POWER8) E870 + IBM FlashSystem 900

• The findings:
• The “Enterprise Class” IBM Power System E870 + IBM FlashSystem 900 offers the lowest 5 year TCO - US$
52M

• For Oracle Exadata X5-2 Software Costs are the most dominant factor driven by x86 core proliferation

• IBM POWER8 requires 76% fewer Oracle workload cores than Oracle Exadata X5-2 – this translates into lower
Software Costs

• IBM POWER8 requires 48% fewer Oracle workload cores than IBM POWER7

TCO Summary
• When comparing cost alone, the IBM Power System E870 provides the lowest 5-Year TCO at US$ 52M
for consolidating the incumbent IBM POWER7 based Oracle Database Servers.

• Furthermore, any workload would benefit from the truly “Enterprise Class” features and functions offered
by the IBM Power System E870 that include greater Scalability, Performance, and Reliability that go
well beyond those of the smaller models.

• IBM Power Systems are an excellent way to efficiently run Oracle. More performance per core means
fewer systems and lower software costs for IBM Power Systems. Even though Oracle charges more for
IBM POWER you can still save in license cost and maintenance terms, as IBM POWER achieves greater
performance per core.

• IBM Power virtualization, PowerVM, is highly efficient compared to other (e.g. x86) virtualization products
due to implementation in firmware.

• Large IBM Power Systems, such as the E870, E880, 770, 780, and 795 with more resources make more
effective virtualization platforms. The more workloads consolidated, the lower the variance (difference
between average and peak utilisation). Consequently, larger servers with capacity to run more workloads
can be driven to higher average utilisation levels without violating service level agreements, thereby
reducing the cost per workload.
