Summary

Cloud Services

Public Clouds
• Hosted by a secondary company
• Excellent for development environments, web servers, etc.
• Shared servers, less control over performance
• Low overhead, very little support required of internal IT
• Low cost.

Oracle MANAGED Cloud Services

Private Cloud
• Internal to the company
• Often built and supported by internal IT
• More control over performance and SLA requirements.
• More expensive and requires location for hardware, etc.

Oracle’s Offerings…
• Exadata, (X4-2, X3-8)
• ZFSSA
• OVCA, (Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance)
• ODA, (Oracle Database Appliance)

Summary

Why Database as a Service
• Rapid access to databases for hosting or certifying applications especially easy with Database 12c pluggable
database.
• Self-service driven migration to pluggable database as a service in order to migrate a pre-Oracle Database 12c
database to a pluggable database as a service model and save time during testing phase.
• Provides a service catalog for all approved database as a service configurations, saving time and resources.
• Quota, role based access, and policy based management that enforces governance and reduces administrative
overhead
• Chargeback or showback which improves metering and accountability for services consumed by each database
• Minimal administrative and maintenance overhead through self-managing automation that allows for intelligent
placement of databases

Services Options in DBaaS

Summary of Moving Parts
• How much do you already use in your
everyday DBA work
• How can this be used to create a new
and better way to automate resource
allocation so the DBA can do more
with less?

How Much You Can Do With DBaaS
• Schema as a Service, (SaaS)
• New Optimizations with Real Application Testing
• Ability to add data-masking
• Ability to automate preliminary and post scripting options.
• Full-feature chargeback scenarios

Summary

Why Use the Self Service Portal
• Customers of the Self Service Portal are able to request:
• Database
• Database clones, (including snap clone)
• Schema refreshes
• VM
• VM with database provisioning, (aka assemblies)
• No more waiting for DBA resources.
• Once the Database as a Service is set up, with the catalog provisioned to the Self Service Portal,
the user is now able to request what is needed to drive project requirements without concern over
limited DBA resources.

JVMD as a Service
 JDaaS is designed to enable IT orgs to allow their users to consume
JVMD, (Java Virtual Machine Diagnostics) functionality in a self-service
manner & manage all their JVMs within a web based portal
 SSA users can enable JVMD on their JVMs regardless of JVMs being
targets in the EM console.
 To enable the cloud, all that is required is to set the Quotas.
 Quotas are set to Roles and are in terms of number of monitored JVM
 Users use this functionality by downloading an agent from the SSA an
deploying it on the desired JVM.
