Actifio Database Cloning Appliance for Oracle
Oracle Overview • Market leader in annual Gartner MQ • #1 in market share* • $39.5B revenue (2019) *per IDC
What is Database Cloning? DEV TEST QA PRODUCTION PATCH
What are the Challenges for Cloning Oracle DBs? Databases are More Copies Are Making Physical Needed for the Copies is Too Getting Bigger Business Slow
Last but not least… EBS ASM RAC Exadata Oracle Enterprises High TCO, + = typically use Delays, environments are complex multiple point Confusion tools

How DCA Works for Oracle Databases DATA CAPTURE 1 Connector is deployed in Oracle server Connector 1 2 Mount staging disk on DB server Bit Map 3 Invoke RMAN Incremental API to copy changed blocks 3 4 DCA Invoke RMAN incremental merge to create new virtual full 4 5 DB 6 5 Unmount staging disk from DB server 2 DB Server DCA takes an internal snapshot. PIT Virtual Full is ready Snap Pool 6 DATA CLONING 7 For data cloning, DCA instantly mounts re-writable staging disk and 7 brings DB online; on-premises or in cloud Test Machine Test Machine
DCA Details • Instant virtual read/write instances • Create virtual point-in-time copies of of databases – lower data access a production database times • Compress time for database • Manage data lifecycle regardless of provisioning, refresh, and rollback location for a lower TCO from hours/days to sec/minutes • Native API integration with SAP including HANA, Oracle, MS SQL • On-premises or in any cloud Server • Built in access controls and sensitive • Self service automation with higher data flagging levels of efficiencies Actifio Database Cloning Appliance Powered by Dell Technologies
How Does Business / IT Benefit? • Accelerate releases for revenue-generating apps • Build higher-quality applications for improved customer satisfaction • Reduce provisioning & refresh time for large Oracle DBs • Leverage existing scripts / automation for masking and toolchain (Ansible, Github, Jenkins, etc.) • Automate towards “no ops”, enable self-service • Accelerate digital transformation • Leverage ECS / Data Domain / public cloud for cost or agility benefits
Questions for Oracle Customers / Prospects
Four Simple Questions How complex is How big is your How many How much time your Oracle largest Oracle copies do you does it take? database? make? environment? Most environments contain A typical enterprise will have Development and / or The average time to many flavors of Oracle Oracle databases >10TB analytics intensive provision or refresh a multi- and, in many cases >100TB enterprises will make at TB Oracle database is 8hrs (EBS, ASM, RAC, Exadata, etc.) least 12-15 copies of or more Oracle databases
#1: Data Size Capture block-level incremental forever, while How big is your How many How much time maintaining virtual full point-in-time copies largest Oracle copies do you does it take? database? make?
