Dermot and James both explained how organisations are keen to ensure they give maximum attention to this area, even if it means cutting back elsewhere. Above all they don’t want to appear on the front page of the national press for the wrong reasons!
The other area that companies are focusing on is server utilisation (or rather, server under-utilisation). Typically, servers are utilised for only around 8-15% of the time as they are sized to cope with peaks in demand. Options in Oracle 11g, can address these issues. Dermot and James provided an example of how a betting company uses 11g features to manage peaks and troughs in demand.
Case study: Grand National
Making use of the Handling Options to shift processing power to the front-end applications before and during the race will handle the large volume of betting transactions. Once the race is over, processing power is re-deployed to back-office functions to process payments. Using clustered resources in this way removes a large amount of processor redundancy from the system.
James covered the complete set of Database Options available with Oracle 11g, with the key message on Maximising ROI.
