Choose the right solution for your Oracle infrastructure

Choose the right solution for your Oracle infrastructure

Oracle databases keep today’s enterprises running. They’re always there when you need them, ready to save the day. But all superheroes have their kryptonite. Disconnected infrastructure and aging storage systems can cripple an Oracle database faster than you can say “Lex Luthor.”

A modern infrastructure can give your Oracle databases the superpowers to take your business to another realm. We’re talking superhuman speed, superhuman strength, and high invulnerability. (No X-ray vision yet, but we’re working on it.)

So how you do choose the right solution to modernize your Oracle infrastructure? You don’t need to find a phone booth or start hanging around radioactive spiders. You just need to answer four key questions.

1. How will the solution be deployed?

Will you keep your Oracle databases inside the data center? Will you modernize in the cloud? Or strike a balance with a hybrid cloud solution?

We’re not here to tell you where to put your databases. We’ll help you put whatever workloads you like in the cloud and keep workloads that are best served on premises, on premises. If you do want to get a little cloudy, you can start slowly by moving nonproduction workloads to the cloud. Then begin running real production SAN workloads in the cloud whenever it makes sense. 

2. Will the solution help stimulate innovation?

Ask yourself: Am I innovating? Although slow and steady has its place, the fastest superheroes usually end up in the winner’s circle. That means delivering projects faster and accelerating time to market. You need an Oracle solution that stimulates innovation rather than stifling it.

With NetApp® solutions for Oracle, you can:

• Deliver new projects faster
• Shorten development cycles
• Scale easily, without limits
• Make better-informed decisions

Remember that X-ray vision we said we’re working on? Accessing data across your entire IT infrastructure is like that. No matter how fast you’re going, you need to know what’s going on—on premises and in the cloud. With a complete picture of your Oracle environment, you can make better-informed decisions and continue to innovate without slowing down.

3. Will the solution deliver a consistent customer experience?

Imagine if the Batmobile had to buffer in the middle of a chase through Gotham? Your customers don’t want to deal with waiting around either. Always-on performance and availability are must-haves for any modern Oracle solution.

You might be asking yourself: Is that solution possible for my environment? We’re here to tell you that it is. With proven 99.9999% availability, our solutions will never keep your customers stuck staring at a load screen. 

4. Will the solution simplify operations and lower TCO?

You always care about the bottom line. Is this solution going to break the bank? Or can it reduce my TCO? It’s perfectly reasonable to demand an Oracle solution that simplifies your infrastructure rather than complicates it.

By streamlining your existing Oracle operations, you can save up to 90% in both time and effort, compared to existing solutions. And with NetApp solutions for Oracle, you can reduce risk by automating database management.
