Pages: 2
Company: StorPool
This document outlines the benefits of using StorPool Storage to power Oracle Virtualization environments, creating a highly efficient hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). This solution is particularly useful for businesses looking to deploy virtualized Oracle databases, or those seeking a robust alternative to VMware in the aftermath of the Broadcom acquisition.
Key advantages of the StorPool Storage with Oracle Virtualization solution include:
- Ultra-Fast Performance: Achieves sub-100 µs in-VM latency, ensuring there is no need to sacrifice performance or availability to gain the advantages of hyperconvergence.
- HCI That Can Change: Supports building a mixed HCI infrastructure by allowing the addition of compute-only or storage-only servers, enabling organizations to scale only the resources they need.
- Flexible Deployment: Enables the use of heterogeneous servers within the hyperconverged cloud, allowing organizations to non-disruptively add new models, different brands, and various CPUs.
- Seamless Integration: Integrates directly with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM) using a lightweight, dependency-free plugin that contains no legacy code and is completely decoupled from all Oracle Virtualization components.
- Simplified Operations: Utilizes instant thin-clone snapshots to speed up VM deployments while minimizing storage usage, and leverages built-in backup and DR functionalities to automate business continuity cost-efficiently.
- Effortless Management: Relies on StorPool’s Fully-Managed Storage engineers for deployment, monitoring, and maintenance, freeing internal staff to focus on applications and end-users.
By eliminating storage silos and providing a lightweight, future-proof architecture, StorPool Storage helps organizations cut costs, boost density, and simplify their HCI environments.
