Flash drive technology is such a key differentiator to help address database growth challenges. Join Yaron Dar, Systems Engineer - EMC Symmetrix Partner Engineering, as he discusses how an EMC flash drive solution for your Oracle database helps improve performance, contain floor space, control costs, and increases IT efficiency with 97.7% less energy. And you will reduce Total Cost of Ownership with a tiered EMC Symmetrix Storage infrastructure that provides best of breed local and remote replication, high availability, and disaster recovery.

  • how much saving will you have when flash drives are so expensive compared to the market. I dont see the savings today as compared to the upfront CAPEX cost of flash drives versus the OPEX costs you will save in energy. Its not like EMC is making big flash drives, these are small drives, M in EMC stands for marketing! Maybe in 5 years when price of flash goes down does this preso makes sense.

  • With the rapid changes in technology, the situation is much more favorable today than suggested. EMC offers 400GB flash drives, and flash drive pricing today from EMC is 76% lower than when they were introduced in early 2008.

  • As pointed out in the video, tools exist today to determine where flash drives can have the greatest effect in an Oracle application, and a small number of flash drives in the right place can produce a huge improvement in overall application performance; much of the remaining tier 1 data can be moved to tier 2 or 3 devices with no loss of performance, so that overall acquisition cost is lower than the all tier 1 approach.

  • Customers are actually reducing acquisition cost by using a combination of flash, fibre channel and SATA drives instead of just fibre channel drives. So, you are right that it is mostly about the CapEx (capital expenditure) costs rather than the energy savings that go along with flash drives.
