High Level App Moderniza3on Workflows

© 2013 Enterprise Strategy Group 4

•  Shi8 away from siloed, custom, expensive compute stacks §  Leverage shared infrastructure, create resource flexibility

•  Do it for all apps – including mission criHcal ones §  Typically run on the most expensive, less flexible infrastructure

Business & App Moderniza1on

Benefits of App Moderniza3on


•  Lower costs §  Higher asset uHlizaHon, real-‐Hme scalability, flexible performance

management

•  Higher, more affordable availability §  UHlize same infrastructure across all app environments

•  Increase adaptability, agility §  Simplify resource provisioning, management, & monitoring

How Do We Achieve the Benefits


•  Control data growth §  Space efficient copies, replicaHon §  Tune performance intelligently – no more “add hardware,

increase so8ware license”

•  Hasten development cycles §  Create real Hme dev / test environments

•  High availability infrastructure §  Add capacity, change hardware online

•  Centralize management §  Control infrastructure provisioning and protecHon within

the applicaHon

●  Red Hat Enterprise Linux – successfully replacing UNIX workloads across the enterprise

●  Well documented success stories and case studies

●  Join some of the largest enterprises across the globe ●  Increase flexibility with options to deploy on multiple

hardware platforms physically, virtually and in the cloud

●  Get performance improvements and application scalability

●  Gain security, reliability and availability of enterprise-grade OS

●  Reduce operating costs and recurring licensing expenses

●  Retain investment in systems skills and Oracle expertise

ITS TIME TO MIGRATE

8

●  Extreme scalability, performance and flexibility ●  Designed to scale

–  Up to 4096 cores with up to 64 TB of memory ●  Engineered to perform

–  Multiple record-setting results across the industry –  Near-linear scaling on industry benchmarks

●  Flexibility to deploy with integrated KVM virtualization –  Physical, virtual or in the cloud

●  Advanced Reliability Features ●  Machine Check Architecture ●  Intelligent recovery from CPU and memory errors

Valida3ng Path to Moderniza3on


•  Set up configured using NetApp / RHEL / Oracle verified architecture §  Reduced management complexity: minimal admin 1me for common

business app architecture

•  Non-‐disrupHvely moved OLTB database across the cluster & added storage nodes to scale environment •  High availability opera1ons: tune performance, expand capacity online

•  Increased / decreased databases users, database size, storage capacity together with NetApp / Oracle ASM integraHon §  Centralized, flexible management: Real-‐1me, mul1-‐dimensional scale to

maintain flexibility
