Oracle SecureFiles Running on LSI Engenio 7900 Delivers Performance
and Scalability; Offers Leading Solution for Unstructured Data
Management REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- News Facts -- Continuing their commitment to help customers
optimize business operations and enterprise infrastructure, Oracle
and LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today announced that they have
achieved breakthrough performance for Oracle Database 11g
SecureFiles utilizing the LSI(TM) Engenio(R) 7900 Storage System.
-- Oracle and LSI developed a clustered file system benchmark to
demonstrate that Oracle SecureFiles delivers comparable
file-system-like performance with increased scalability using a
database for storing and managing structured and unstructured data.
-- Oracle SecureFiles, a key feature of Oracle Database 11g,
enables customers to store unstructured file content such as
images, audio, video, PDFs and spreadsheets. Oracle SecureFiles is
engineered to deliver high performance for file data comparable to
that of traditional file systems while retaining the reliability,
scalability and security advantages of Oracle Database 11g. --
Breakthrough performance of 4.5GB/sec was achieved running Oracle
SecureFiles BLOBs (binary large objects) on an LSI Engenio 7900
storage system. This data throughput is comparable to an
application streaming large files, like images, audio or video
content. -- This benchmark result also demonstrated outstanding
performance for databases in managing small- to medium-sized BLOBs
in the database. Oracle SecureFiles features world class
performance for managing files in the database by delivering an
astounding 171 million document reads per hour. -- The LSI Engenio
7900 storage system configuration consisted of 243 Fibre Channel
15Krpm drives attached to seven-node IBM System x3950 M2 server
cluster running 8 to 16 CPUs and 32GB to 64GB of memory. When
measured from one-, four-, and seven-node configurations, Oracle
SecureFiles with Oracle Real Application Clusters shows outstanding
scalability using the Engenio 7900, achieving 700 MB/sec, 2.8GB/sec
and 4.5GB/sec, respectively, while maintaining superior performance
and availability. -- Based on seventh-generation XBB2 architecture,
the LSI Engenio 7900 storage system delivers industry-leading
bandwidth to support the most demanding mixed-application workloads
and the real-world challenges of large-scale server virtualization
and consolidation implementations. The system combines high
reliability and availability features to help ensure continuous
high-speed data access. In addition, the 7900's multi-dimensional
adaptability features allow customers to adapt to evolving
infrastructure, capacity and application requirements. LSI also
recently announced 8GFC host connectivity for the 7900 system,
which provides headroom for even greater performance results.
Supporting Quotes -- "Traditionally, relational data is stored in a
database while unstructured data is stored as files in file
systems. Oracle SecureFiles optimizes the use of the database for
storage of all enterprise data, structured or unstructured," said
Juan Loaiza, senior vice president, Systems Technology, Oracle.
"Based on the performance results we've achieved in benchmark
tests, Oracle SecureFiles can provide customers with performance
that is far greater than file systems - offering a
best-of-both-worlds architecture." -- "Through our benchmark
testing with Oracle, we've established the LSI Engenio 7900 system
as the world's leading reference architecture for SecureFiles,"
said Vic Mahadevan, vice president of marketing and product
management, Engenio Storage Group, LSI. "Whether the data is
structured or unstructured, the 7900 provides superior
price/performance and scalability for database and data warehousing
workloads at a low cost of ownership." Supporting Resources --
