* Right Tiering that provides the right data in the right place for the rightprice. * Ability to Right Tier the V-Max environmentAbout ZettapointZettapoint delivers software solutions which slash the total cost of ownership(TCO) of massive and ever-growing enterprise databases. * Reduction of the time, cost and risk of database consolidation or migrationprojects. * Reduction or elimination of I/O wait time for the most critical applicationsand users through intelligent EFD selection and implementation. * Dramatic reduction in the cost of Oracle infrastructure through storagetiering. "With Zettapoint`s DBclassifywe are able to deliver advanced availability, scalability, and performance toour Oracle customers, while improving TCO." DBclassify benefits include:* Ability to justify, acquire and allocate storage assets based on actual datausage patterns and importance to the business.
"Zettapoint is driving towards a leadership position in the industry with uniquesoftware solutions like DBclassify that enable companies to more efficiently usestorage and dramatically reduce overall management costs of their databases,"said Mark Caggiano, General Manager, Data Management Division for TriCoreSolutions, a Zettapoint and EMC Velocity² partner. Storage Right Tiering delivers the dual benefit ofimproving SLA compliance for business users by greatly reducing I/O wait timesand efficiently managing TCO by placing the right database objects on the righttiers based on actual usage patterns. DBclassify identifies frequently used, or hot, data which then can be allocatedto the highest storage tier, such as EFD or fibre channel, while less frequentlyused or unused data can be allocated to lower, less costly tiers such as SATAdrives and archival storage. RightTiering classifies data by actual business usage and value, and then recommendsplacement on the appropriate storage tier to consistently deliver the highestpossible service level at the lowest possible cost. Through a comprehensive analysis process,DBclassify automatically tracks and ranks every database object (tables,columns, indexes and partitions) based on frequency of access and I/O waitinformation, and associates it with the specific applications and users.
Itanalyzes and differentiates structured data for full visibility into thereal-life use of the database. DBclassify supports all EMC storage platforms andensures customers that they will have compatibility between their hardware andsoftware today, and going forward." DBclassify was specifically built for Right Tiering storage environments. "Zettapoint is providing its own technology advance with ourlatest version of DBclassify that provides customers with the ability toaccurately and confidently apply Right Tiering to take full advantage of new,breakthrough technologies from EMC, like Enterprise Flash Drives andVirtualMatrix Architecture. "EMC is pleased to support Zettapoint as itdelivers industry-leading database software solutions that enhance our storageoffering." "EMC has again raised the bar and ushered in the next generation of storagetechnology in the industry with EMC Symmetrix V-Max," said Steve Campbell,Zettapoint CEO. Zettapoint isshowcasing the latest version of DBclassify at EMC World 2009 in Orlando, FL, inbooth 108. "As networked storage systems continue to evolve with newer technologies,Zettapoint is filling a gap by enabling companies to more efficiently allocatedatabase objects to the appropriate storage tier based on the actual usage andI/O profile of data within the database," said Rich Wells, Senior Director, DBMSGlobal Solutions Practice for EMC. This results in optimized database object placement, peakperformance, and a manageable total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).
