Oracle Confidential – Internal 3
• Storage ALWAYS comes up in virtualization conversation – as a pain point
• Fundamental problem: Architecture• Virtualization has changed the way shared
platforms are used• Virtualization forced the storage to look for
new ways to build systems

Why Storage Matters in a VM Environment
• Application performance SLAs demand fast storage– Under layers of virtualization, all roads might lead to one disk! VMs exacerbate
this be adding layers the storage admin can’t see– Better: Serve data from fastest possible media – automatically
• You can’t control cost without consolidation– Storage systems need to support max number of apps without buckling– Issue: Each VM creates stresses throughout the storage system
• Consolidation adds risk– 1000s of VMs per system is a large troubleshooting domain– You MUST be able to find the needle in the haystack or all users suffer
SLAs live and die on storage performance…

• Ideal architecture for virtualization– Serves VM images straight from DRAM,
the fastest media available– SMP OS eliminates conventional filer CPU
congestion– Automated caching and data placement
(DRAM, flash, disk) provide management simplicity
– Deep analytics provide 73% faster problem resolution*
• VMware and OpenStack API, and RESTful API simplify integration

Oracle ZS3 Storage addresses key pain pointsYour storage admin should look to add it to the mix…
Automated caching keep the right things in the fastest media (DRAM) to support performance SLAs
True Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) manages VM boot storms, bottlenecks, hot spots, and I/O saturation to eliminate filer sprawl
Advanced storage analytics allow you to find and eliminate issues 73% faster for maximum uptime*
