  2. Agenda • Introduction • Context • System Quality Attributes • Availability • Oracle Real Application Clusters • Oracle Data Guard • Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture

  3. System Quality Attributes • Sometimes called “Non-functional Requirements.” • Clements, Bass, and Kazman classification: • Qualities of the system: availability, modifiability, performance, security, testability, usability. • Business qualities: time to market, cost and benefit, projected system lifetime, legacy system integration, etc.. • Qualities of the architecture itself: conceptual integrity, correctness and completeness, buildability, etc. • Architect responsibilities: • Elicit requirements related to system quality attributes. • Provide an architecture that can realize the desired system quality attributes.

  4. Availability Two ways to improve availability: • Avoid system failure • Repair quickly

  5. Avoiding System Failure • Common approach: redundancy • Design system with sufficient redundancy to allow continued operation when components fail. • Example: application tier • Multiple load balanced servers • Redundant load balancing appliances • Redundant network switches, routers, etc. etc. • Oracle approach: Oracle Real Application Clusters

  6. Dealing with Disaster • What if the data center is lost? • Cantor Fitzgerald eSpeed, WTC North Tower, 9/11. • Disaster recovery plan & mirrored data center • Cantor back online when bond market reopened 47 hours later. • Tools and processes needed to rapidly repair or recover systems to make them available again. • Oracle tool: Oracle Data Guard

  7. Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) • Oracle RAC provides the ability to run an Oracle database across a set of clustered servers. • Cluster strategy provides fault tolerance; a cluster server can be lost without impacting the functionality of the system. • Provides a horizontal scalability capability; servers can be added to support additional users and load

  8. RAC Physical Architecture Figure from “HP InfiniBand solution for Oracle RAC environments”

  9. Application Partitioning • Oracle marketing literature implies any application can be run unchanged on RAC and scale up by adding additional nodes to the cluster. • However… • Oracle RAC uses a “shared everything” clustering strategy. • Contention between nodes for data blocks will limit scalability; content will become worse in some cases as nodes are added to the cluster. • Application partitioning needed to reduce contention at the block level, and to reduce cross-instance data swapping. • Oracle 10g provides work load management features • Allows routing specific users or functions to specific nodes.

  10. Oracle Data Guard • Oracle Data Guard is a set of services for maintaining one or more standby databases. • Transactionally consistent copies • Both physical and logical copies are supported. • Data Guard Services • Redo transport • Log apply • Role Transition • Standby to primary • Primary to standby

  11. Redo Logs: Context From “Oracle Architectural Components”
