Advanced Compression

in Oracle Database 11g


Storage Challenges

• Volume of managed data has exploded recently


– Government regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, etc)
– User generated content (Web 2.0)
– Mass adoption of rich multimedia content (audio, video, etc)
• IT managers expected to reduce technology budgets
– Need to optimize storage consumption
– Also maintain acceptable application performance
Introducing Advanced Compression

• Advanced compression in Oracle Database 11g


– Structured data compression
– Unstructured data compression
– Compression for backup data
– Network transport compression
• Reduces resource requirements and costs
– Storage System
– Network Bandwidth
– Memory Usage
Redo Logs
Standby
Backups
Structured Data Compression
For OLTP and Data Warehousing Applications

• Oracle introduced table compression in Oracle9i Database


– Support for bulk load operations
• Oracle Database 11g extends compression for OLTP data
– Support for conventional DML Operations
– Support for add/drop columns on compressed tables
• Significantly reduces disk space consumption
– Typically 2 to 3x
• Improves the performance of queries
– Up to 2x performance improvements for long running queries
• No uncompression required while reading compressed data
• Completely transparent to applications
Unstructured Data Compression
Oracle SecureFiles

• New feature in Oracle Database 11g


• Secure, high performance, storage optimized solution
• Documents, spreadsheets, images, multimedia, etc.
• SecureFile Compression
– Automatically determines if SecureFile data is compressible
– 2 to 3x compression for typical files
– Industry standard compression algorithms
– Multiple compression levels optimize performance & space
SecureFile De-duplication

• Multiple copies of identical SecureFiles are stored once


• Faster performance for writes and copy operations
• May improve read performance
• Huge reduction in disk space usage
– Great for document management, email archiving etc.

Secure
hash
Backup & Network Data Compression

• Data Pump compression


– Compresses data unloaded from the database
– Single step compression of both data and metadata
• Fast Recovery Manager (RMAN) compression
– 40% faster backup compression
• Data Guard network compression
– Compression of redo traffic over the network
– Improves redo transport performance
• Gap resolution is up to 2x faster
Advanced Compression
in Oracle Database 11g

• Comprehensive set of data compression capabilities


– Structured, unstructured, backup, network transport
• Reduces storage consumption by 2 – 3 times
– Savings cascades into test, dev, QA, backup, DR
environments
• Improves application performance
• Enhances memory and network efficiency
• Complete application transparency
• Benefits diverse application workloads
– Transaction Processing
– Data Warehousing
– Content Management
