Solution architecture consists of an Oracle Database, Cisco UCS C-460 server, and an EMC Symmetrix VMAX. EMC tested the capabilities of XtremSW Cache. Testing employed a standard TPC-C like
OLTP workload with a 1.2 TB database and a 70–30% read/write mix with 250 GB of hot data. XtremSW Cache enabled on all data LUNs, but not on log LUNs. No tuning of Oracle Database.
Symmetrix VMAX storage system: 4 Engines, 512 GB of mirrored cache; 16 x 250 GB data LUNs on 64 x 450 GB 15K rpm Fibre Channel drives (RAID 5), 4 x 200 GB log LUNs on 16 x 450 GB 15K

Notable VMAX 10K (VMAXe) Customer
Quotes
“EMC has done something truly revolutionary in the way the
VMAXe is bundled with everything you’d want in a tier-one
solution. Yet they’ve made it very easy to manage for a
mid-size shop like ours that doesn’t have dedicated storage
engineers.” Brian Carpenter, VP of Information Technology, Heritage Auctions

“One of the reasons we chose VMAXe was because its a


multiple director, multiple engine system that gives us more
redundancy. One single failure won’t cut down our I/Os to
one-half, the way it had been with our mid-tier storage
system.” David Doucet, Sr. Systems Administrator, PetroHawk Energy Corporation

“FAST VP and Flash drives on the VMAXe means we now get


extreme performance from the Oracle database and meet growing
demand for Big Data. It’s been a tremendous improvement for our
users.” Link Alander, Chief Information Officer, Lone Star College
System
