An Inside Look at Oracle ZFS Storage VMware Integration
Tuesday, September 2, 2014
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. CT
Oracle ZFS Storage has an ideal architecture for consolidating virtual server environments. To take better advantage of this, we have just released a set of VMware Storage API integrations (SRA, vSphere client, VAAI NAS primitives). Join us to get a look at what we've done so far, and to be part of a conversation about what we are doing next. In this session, attendees will be able to download BI Validator, install, create and execute test plans in minutes.

Delivering Great OBI by Testing Smarter, Not Harder
Thursday, September 4, 2014
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. CT
Changes to Oracle Business Intelligence are inevitable. The problem is that even minor changes can result in unexpected results such as broken dashboards or reports, performance degradation or other similar outcomes that ultimately have a negative impact on user adoption. By leveraging BI Validator's automation capabilities, engineers, business analysts and testing teams can increase test coverage, achieve repeatability and deliver high quality dashboards and reports.
In this seminar, we will discuss:
- Common OBI testing challenges
- Overview of BI Validator
- Regression testing of dashboards with BI Validator
- Stress testing of dashboards with BI Validator
- Overview of other available test plans within the platform
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to download BI Validator and install, create and execute test plans in minutes.

Server-Side Flash Storage for Oracle RAC
Thursday, September 11, 2014
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. CT
Utilizing Server-Side PCIe flash storage offers a high-performance and cost efficient alternative to a traditional SAN architecture. However, Oracle requires shared access to all primary storage that is to be utilized for Oracle RAC. In this webinar, you will learn how to leverage Oracle’s own Automatic Storage Management capabilities to build a highly-available primary storage platform using PCIe flash cards inside the database servers themselves and avoid the costs and performance bottlenecks of external storage.

IOUG Storage SIG Webcast: Virtualization Got You Down? Avoid the Performance and Management Pitfalls of Mismatched Storage
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT
Analyst research suggests that 84 percent of servers will be virtualized in the next 18 months. As high-density, virtualized environments continue to grow, storage can often become a bottleneck. The penalty in cost, performance and management overhead grows dramatically when storage hardware is poorly matched to meet the demands of a highly virtualized environment. Join Oracle product experts as they explore new and unique ways to consolidate storage while ensuring high performance and rapid and seamless performance issue resolution in virtualized environments.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Accelerate VM deployment by easily booting tens of thousands of VMs in mere minutes, from a single, low-cost storage system
- Speed VM performance issue troubleshooting and resolution with VM-level storage analytics proven to be 73% faster than the competition
- Extend virtualization to the cloud with OpenStack and other cloud API support mechanisms
- Save money by consolidating more VMs onto fewer, faster, and economical storage systems
- If you want to avoid the pitfalls of mismatched storage and support thousands of VM hosts-plus gain the benefits of co-engineering that only exist with Oracle-you should definitely attend this session.
