Sydney Oracle Meetup #9 - Data-center Efficiency
This location is shown only to members
For those of you who don't know the protocol - the gathering starts at 5:30PM with pizza and drinks and we get to the technical content around 6:00PM.
The topic of the meetup can be characterized the best by a modern buzz word - cloud computing. So what it's all about? It's about achieving hi utilization of your hardware and software resources to provide the requires services - in application to databases it's meeting availability, performance and scaleability requirements.
There won't be a formal presentation most likely - this will be a whiteboard session (just like we had with backup meetup some time ago) - no marketing. :)
Here are the topics we will discuss:
- Server virtualization and how it works with different vendors (Oracle VM, VMware and proprietary platforms like AIX, Solaris and etc)
- Database virtualization or consolidation
- Storage and network virtualization
- Oracle licensing for cloud computing
I hope that we will have enough attendees that are able to share the practical experience in this area.

Paul GuerinAppreciated input from some technical leaders of the database and virtualisation
industries.
Liked wholistic examination of related technologies: virtualisation vs. consolidation vs. Oracle RAC.
Also liked discussion of the other considerations with virtualisation.
eg slower performance; ability to combine hosts from different vendors; possible corruption when combining virtualisation with databases; lack of operational transparency.

I would like to hear presentations/discussions about how different BI tools (ETL, reporting, etc) use Oracle features and might be how 11g helped to eliminate some problems and/or complexity in comparison with previous versions
