Powerful booster for Oracle database selection to optimize data centers

In the era of cloud computing and big data, the ever-changing business environment puts more stringent requirements on enterprise IT infrastructure. In order to provide strong support for enterprise businesses in a more efficient and economical way, enterprise data centers are constantly evolving, from traditional data centers with high costs in the past and are easy to create isolated application islands, migrate data to a simpler, more efficient, and more economical cloud environment and a modern data center architecture. In this process, as the cornerstone of the healthy and efficient operation of data centers, Databases play a crucial role, helping enterprise decision makers make accurate business decisions instantly and quickly, win in the competition.

As a well-deserved leader in the database field, Oracle databases have helped customers from all walks of life in the world to overcome numerous data management challenges. Especially for some special application environments with more stringent requirements, Oracle also provides the industry's most comprehensive and advanced Database Options) combination to ensure high availability, high performance and high security of data centers. If the database is a powerful SLR camera, the database option is to combine lenses and accessories for various shooting scenarios. For professional photographers, these lenses and accessories are not "accessories ", it is a "necessity", and the same is true for today's enterprise data centers. The database option can help the database meet the customer's business development needs and provide maximum flexibility, performance, and optimal cost control. Enterprises can deploy database option combinations based on hundreds of Database options of Oracle for enterprise application scenarios and requirements and challenges, high performance and high availability of data centers and data security.

High Database Availability is a powerful backing for ensuring business continuity

High Availability is the primary consideration for building data centers. Data Center failures caused by natural disasters, hardware/software faults, or human errors will cause high operational losses to enterprises, for example, a well-known Manufacturing Company in China loses 12 million yuan per hour when a power loss occurs in a data center. When a large state-owned bank experiences database downtime and causes business interruption, 25 million yuan per hour. These astonishing figures show the importance of high Database Availability. Oracle has a complete availability system that integrates the best technology to meet customers' high availability requirements. The high availability options of Oracle are centered on "data". Each layer is fully activated and supports horizontal scaling.

Active-active data centers are currently widely used by many large and medium-sized Telecom and financial institutions. This mode can fully utilize resources to avoid resource waste caused by frequent idle data centers. In addition, when a disaster occurs and a problem occurs in a data center, the other data center can run in real time to maximize business continuity. In the process of building a dual-Active Data Center, with Oracle Active Data Guard, you can separate the query and report services in the production database to further accelerate the processing capability of the production business. Oracle Active Data Guard can also ensure that the Data center remains in the optimal state, shorten the backup time, make full use of resources, and automatically repair damaged Data storage areas to ensure zero Data loss, minimize scheduled downtime.

For another example, many telecom companies have built emergency databases, which are much smaller than the production database. However, when the production database fails, the emergency database can carry 30% to 60 business volumes, this balances costs and benefits. In this process, with the Oracle GoldenGate option, you can copy all the business data of the entire database to another place, or copy only a part of the important data, all these operations are real-time, fast, and automatic. Oracle GoldenGate not only supports heterogeneous environments, but also enables High-Performance Change Data Capture and non-invasive data replication. It helps enterprises ensure the continuity of key systems and implement real-time data integration within the enterprise.

Of course, Oracle Real Application Cluster (Oracle RAC) is the most indispensable part of the high availability architecture of Oracle. 100% of important system databases adopt the Oracle RAC architecture. Oracle RAC supports scalability, automatic Server Load balancer, and automatic storage management, making the database scalable. In addition, Oracle RAC has powerful features such as reliability, recovery, error detection, and continuous operation support, enabling enterprises to achieve uninterrupted business continuity.

High database performance is a constant rule to improve the overall operation of enterprises.

For enterprises, database performance is critical to the overall performance of their applications. The maximum impact is 97.6% on average. To address this problem, Oracle uses the Data Partitioning technology Oracle Partitioning) and Memory computing technology Oracle Database In-Memory) as well as the automatic Database diagnosis and optimization technology to help enterprise databases achieve high performance.

For example, Oracle Partitioning can partition large tables by time, region, or status, this Data Partitioning technology can effectively help enterprises improve their data processing and management capabilities, and effectively manage the data lifecycle. Poor applications cause bottlenecks to the efficient operation of databases. To solve this problem, Oracle Enterprise Manager can quickly discover and automatically diagnose faults and provide instance-level solutions for databases, it effectively helps databases improve management efficiency, eliminate performance bottlenecks, reduce IT management costs, and deliver high-quality services. In addition, Oracle's latest disruptive and innovative Oracle Database In-Memory option breaks through the row and column restrictions and uses dual-format Database Memory, it can help real-time enterprises to make business decisions faster and better by improving the performance of Oracle database applications.

The Shanghai Free Trade Zone is a classic case of using Oracle's next-generation database solution to achieve high performance of data centers. The Shanghai Free Trade Zone announced the adoption of Oracle Database 12c and Oracle Database In-Memory options and other products to successfully build a brand new customs supervision information system platform, to meet the challenges of high business volume, complex types, and strong real-time models. With the next-generation Oracle Database solution, especially the ultimate performance improvement brought by the Oracle Database In-Memory technology, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone has enabled efficient operation of complex businesses, it also laid a solid foundation for the future transition to the hybrid cloud architecture and big data business needs. Oracle Database In-Memory's groundbreaking row-and-column dual-format architecture accelerates OLAP queries. The new information management system has shown significant performance improvements In tests, the performance of the "linkage logistics monitoring platform" of the card-mouth Intelligent Module and the "inventory accounting" of the processing and warehousing module is increased by up to 43 times and 10 times.

Ensuring high data security is the foundation of Enterprise Development

With the increasing scale of enterprise databases, how to achieve "invisible" of sensitive data, "unable to take away" of core data, and "audit" of O & M operations has become a huge challenge for IT managers to build databases. Data shows that 90% of data security events are taken from within the enterprise; 98% of stolen data comes from the database, and the enterprise firewall can only solve external problems and cannot cope with internal data security risks. For data security, Oracle has been committed to promoting a multi-stage three-dimensional protection architecture to achieve pre-Protection, in-process alerts, In-process interception, and post-event auditing. Through multi-technology integration, creates a foolproof data security protection barrier for the database.

For example, when a malicious threat invades an enterprise Database, Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall, like a monitoring probe with automatic identification, can monitor traffic between Oracle and non-Oracle databases and detect and block threats. In addition, Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall can retain data for days, weeks, or years based on data sources to meet compliance requirements. Oracle Database Vault can restrict access to privileged users to prevent unauthorized permissions from being tampered with or intruded into, securely integrating application data or supporting multi-tenant data management, strengthen Internal Control in the database.

Oracle Advanced Security is the most economical and efficient comprehensive data protection solution for sensitive enterprise information. It can encrypt data, such as credit card number, social security number, or personal identity information. Oracle Advanced Security not only encrypts static data, but also shields data when it leaves the database.

Wu Chengyang, vice president of Oracle and general manager of Technical Products Department of China, said that for many enterprise users, the advantages and values of Oracle databases are uncertain, but the changing business needs and increasingly complicated IT Environments, this allows enterprises to impose more stringent requirements on the performance of data centers and the ability to cope with various special application scenarios, which makes the role of Database options increasingly prominent. Oracle has the most comprehensive and powerful portfolio of Database options in the industry. There are many star options, regardless of any business scenario, customers can easily cope with various challenges by using Oracle's rich portfolio of options.
