2 Agenda IBM FlashSystem flash storage introduction IBM Power Systems and FlashStorage Proof of Concept Performance Tests IBM Corporation

3 IBM FlashSystem Portfolio Boost performance/efficiency without re-architecting applications or the storage infrastructure Extreme Performance MicroLatency Macro Efficiency Enterprise Reliability IBM FlashSystem 840 IBM FlashSystem 820 IBM FlashSystem 720 IBM FlashSystem 810 IBM FlashSystem 710 IBM FlashSystem Solution IBM FlashSystem 840 IBM FlashSystem 820 San Volume Controller (SVC) IBM Corporation Extreme Performance Enterprise Features Boost enterprise productivity Improve application performance Ideal for OLTP, data warehousing and OLAP environments High availability system Acceleration of applications Enterprise feature sets to ensure data protection

4 Oracle Acceleration with IBM FlashSystem Customer Challenge Most Oracle applications are highly read-intensive. As such, additional processing power alone does little or nothing to improve performance. By placing all read data on low latency flash storage, reads will be performed much faster, boosting Oracle performance by up to 12x over conventional disk systems with no tuning or changes to code or system architecture. IBM FlashSystem shared flash storage systems will Decrease I/O wait time in mission critical Oracle workloads Deliver the lowest latency available on any SAN platform Accelerate commonly I/O-bound workloads, including transactional, batch and complex analytics Delivers Extreme Performance, Macro Efficiency, and Enterprise Reliability for IBM Corporation

5 IBM Power Systems and FlashStorage Proof of Concept Performance Tests PoC study 1 - Oracle s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on a Power 780 server with AIX and FlashSystem 820 flash storage PoC study 2 - Oracle E-Business Suite on a Power 780 server with AIX and FlashSystem 820 flash storage IBM Corporation

6 PoC Performance Test with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne - Background Large medical manufacturing company JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications with tools Using financials, distribution, and manufacturing suites Worldwide operation running up to 950 users and a heavy batch workload Lengthy, complex nightly batch process (primarily MRP) to plan the manufacture of medical equipment Client challenge Need to reduce elapsed processing time required for nightly batch Nightly batch jobs taking 8-12 hours to complete Batch overrun into daily interactive user ramp-up Dedicated system for batch runs needed for up to five hours IBM Corporation

7 Current Environment Power 795 server with 32 cores (POWER7) with 1 TB memory with AIX 6.1 DS8300 storage system with approximately 8 TB of disk storage SAN Volume Controller with 32 GB memory and 4 x 146GB SSDs LPAR Cores* Memory GB Notes Database Oracle Database 11.1 (8 TB) Applications 3 64 EnterpriseOne with Tools (900 users) User Batch 2 32 EnterpriseOne 9.02 with Tools Scheduled Batch 8 32 EnterpriseOne 9.02 with Tools Web Servers (4) 1 24 Oracle Application Server 10.2 with Java 1.5 (32-bit) Euro Apps 1 4 EnterpriseOne with Tools (50 users) Euro User Batch 1 16 EnterpriseOne with Tools Euro Sched Batch 1 8 EnterpriseOne with Tools Scheduler 1 32 Cisco *Note: Other than the logical partition running the database, core counts are approximate as the system is configured to run uncapped and dynamically move processing resource between the partitions as needed IBM Corporation

8 PoC Performance Test Environment SAN Volume Controller with 32 GB memory and FlashSystem 820 with 20 TB of flash storage 4 x 146GB SSDs DS8300 storage system with ~8 TB of disk storage Power 780 server with 64 cores (POWER7+) with 2 TB memory* with AIX 6.1 LPAR Cores Memory GB Notes Database Oracle Database (8 TB) Applications 3 32 EnterpriseOne with Tools User Batch 3 32 EnterpriseOne with Tools Scheduled Batch Web Servers (4) 3 64 EnterpriseOne with Tools Oracle Application Server 10.2 Scheduler 1 32 Cisco VIOS (2) PowerVM SP1 *To run the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne test workload, only a portion of the system was used IBM Corporation

9 PoC Performance Test Workload Nightly batch cycle consisting of 712 distinct jobs: 154 critical batch jobs including the MRP process 134 non-critical JD Edwards EnterpriseOne batch jobs 424 jobs pulling data from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables to populate a data warehouse Also ran a single user test of the Sales Order Entry application using the Configurator function to determine interactive performance improvements, this was a subjective assessment IBM Corporation

10 PoC Performance Test Results Time in minutes All Batch Critical batch Non-critical batch Data Warehouse jobs Baseline tuned run Baseline tuned run Critical batch job processing (MRP process) run time reduced by 28% Single user test of the Sales Order Entry application using the Configurator function determined interactive performance ran faster and was more responsive IBM Corporation

11 PoC Performance Test with Oracle E-Business Suite - Background Large wholesale grocery supply company Growing regional wholesale supplier using Oracle E-Business Suite to process critical nightly order volumes Plans for major growth by acquisition and concern over increased order volumes Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Client challenge Plan for greatly increased order volumes, primarily EDI Design a computing platform to handle these increased volumes Meet all service level agreements for order processing and delivery IBM Corporation

12 Current Environment Power 795 server with POWER7 processors and AIX 6.1 DS8000 storage system SAN Volume Controller Configuration: Two Oracle Database 11g R1 with RAC LPARs for the Oracle E-Business Suite database with 10 processor cores for each LPAR Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Oracle Database IBM Corporation

13 PoC Performance Test Environment SAN Volume Controller FlashSystem 820 flash storage DS8000 storage system Power 780 server POWER7+ processors and AIX 6.1 Configuration: Two Oracle Database 11g R2 with RAC LPARs for the Oracle E-Business Suite database with 16 processor cores for one LPAR and 4 cores for the other LPAR Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Oracle Database IBM Corporation

14 PoC Performance Test Workload The client uses Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 applications to process their nightly order volumes. The cumulative order processing workflow consists of a number of job steps, those jobs are: High Volume Order Import Pre Processor Wrapper Program Soft Check Wrapper Program Pre Allocation Wrapper Routing Program Regular Order Allocation Processor Order Management Release to Warehouse Management System Wrapper Program Post Release Wrapper Routing Program The critical individual job steps for this client were the High Volume Order Import and Regular Order Allocation Processor jobs (in bold above) The client was also interested in the gather schema statistics process performance for their production Oracle Database IBM Corporation
