In its focus of enabling customers to evaluate Oracle and Oracle Partner products in
a state-of-the-art Datacenter environment, Oracle Enterprise Technology Center is
often tasked with providing proof of concept scenarios. However, simulations and
benchmarks are hardly a measure of real world performance - nothing can be a
more accurate representation than the customer's own data. For this purpose,
Oracle looked into methods of transporting potentially massive data sets securely
from the customer site to ETC for real-world data crunching comparisons. The Teras
Portable NAS unit provided a solution with up to 10TB of storage capacity while
supporting the Software, I/O and security needs of the POC process.
The Teras Data Migration solution is ideal for Oracle customers who have a need to transfer
data to Oracle's Enterprise Technology Centers. Oracle customers order disks, and Oracle
ships a Teras Portable Storage system to their datacenter. At a rate of up to 1 TB per hour,
data is pulled from the customer's storage network via the Teras Portable system and
securely stored on the data disks to be returned to the ETC via T-DDC shipping carrier(s).
Using the Teras Data Docking Station, Oracle pulls the data into their test environment and
either returns the disks or securely erases them, ready to drop-ship the portable to the next
customer.
Performance & Utilization at Oracle ETC
- Testing performed with HP's Oracle Database Machine (HPODBM)
- Encrypt and decrypt right from the portable into the customer environment
- Oracle connected the portable system directly via InfiniBand and simply NFS
mounted on database node(s)
- Test of 52 thread sql*loader against gzip'd files showed NO I/O wait. Loaded 520 gig of
raw data (50+ gig zipped data) into database in < 19 minutes. Effective 467.09 MB/s.
- Actual download rate between 50% and 75% of full 20Gb/sec Infiniband capacity
The demand for networked storage is ever-growing and multifaceted in every environment. Whether your
operation needs scalable mainline storage or inexpensive tier-2 storage, the Teras product family has
a system that fits.

iSCSI has opened the way to widescale adoption of SAN technology, delivering the benefits of storage-attached
networks to a much broader range of customers than ever before. Implementing a Storage Area Network using
low-cost Gigabit Ethernet brings down the expense of an entry-level SAN solutions. Now businesses of all sizes
can enjoy the benefits of storage virtualization and consolidation.
SANs are networked storage pools which can be divided and provisioned to client systems. They are different
from file servers because they provide raw block-level storage rather than abstracting requests through a
higher-level software protocol. Many applications require low-level storage due to special requirements of
one or more specific file systems and highly intensive I/O.
SANs allow administrators to expand storage for a large number of servers or clients without physical
maintenance and downtime or additional local hardware.
iSCSI SANs stack up well against Fibre-based SANs, implementing the SCSI protocol using common TCP/IP
networks. Gigabit Ethernet is ubiquitous on PCs, largely eliminating the need to buy additional discrete,
high-cost add-in adapters such as Fibre Channel HBAs. IP networks are much more broadly deployed and well
understood by more IT professionals than Fabric topologies.
The budget savings gained by using a much cheaper interconnect can be re-distributed to creating a much
more resilient network with larger storage pools. High-availability configurations may offer greater levels
of redundancy than Fibre-attached storage for the same budget due to lower price points, complimented by the
lower cost of connectivity.
Teras iSCSI SANs make use of SAS and SATA drives. SAS drives provide a strong disk subsystem for
high-performance applications requiring intensive I/O, while near-line SATA disks offer far greater capacity
and features friendly to large disk arrays.
