If you're still using legacy storage systems with your Oracle Database, then you’re not getting the most return on your investment. Discussion?

It's certainly true for high value apps. But for low value apps legacy storage is just fine until its fully depreciated

General purpose, legacy systems are database-blind. Storage co-engineered with #Oracle Database is faster, easier, smarter. #ZS3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoWIavYp3e0
Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS3 Series
Oracle's application engineered storage system delivers extreme efficiency and better value, reducing cost, complexity, and risk while increasing performance...
Dave Vellante what does that mean "DB blind?"

Kerstin Woods
DB blind = static storage unaware of the incoming data. Good summary here: http://www.dcig.com/2013/09/the-era-of-application-storage-convergence-arrives.html
The Era of Application-Storage Convergence Has Arrived
Converged infrastructures are emerging as the next "Big Thing" in enterprise datacenters with servers, storage and networking delivered as a single SKU. Yet what providers are beginning to recognize - and what organizations should begin to expect - i...

The CEO’s Perfect Storm: Demographics, Data, and Devices Change Everything
While the business world went through some unexpected turbulence in 2013, I believe three major factors are going to make 2014 even more disruptive and challenging for CEOs.This perfect storm for the

@furrier From an initial acquisition cost standpoint, it means buying the least amount of storage possible and then utilizing tools such as compression to maximize the use of that storage throughout its life cycle #storagesummit

What are some of the "easy" things that most dbas miss to increase performance?

Dave Vellante
use a "flash-first" architecture and balance out the storage infrastructure
Jeff Frick Is "Flash First" for new apps, new infrastructure only, or is anyone rolling flash back into older apps/infrastructure? Assume better ROI in former case.
Oracle Hardware amongst these "flash-first" hybrids #Oracle #ZS3 "stands out" http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/storage/nas/dcig-oraclezs3-h2h-2131837.pdf
brian bulkowski The number of flash storage offerings will EXPLODE in the next 6 months. At @aerospikedb , I have very interesting beta gear from multiple startups. All blow away @oraclehardware in terms of price - density - iops.

here's the difference in efficiency b/tween a traditional cached array and a flash-first architecture in an oracle DB environment http://wikibon.org/w/images/4/44/ZFSFigure3a.jpg
[-]
Dave Vellante
one key to storage performance has always been the rate at which a cache can de-stage to the spinning disk backend. With a flash-first architecture the persistent flash medium handles this problem much better than an async trickle to b/end disk
[-]
Kerstin Woods
One item is storage visibility - DBAs can use tools like #Oracle #ZFS DTrace to see the DB and VM impact to the storage.

One easy one is data compression. Customer experience with Oracle Database Hybrid Columnar Compression shows resulting improvement in query speeds of 3x-8x.

Question: What does storage efficiency mean?

Tim Crawford
From a technical perspective or from a data management perspective. The answers are vastly different.
John Furrier trying to frame a reference on strategies and tactics so both to be discussed
Dave Vellante great point tim - it also means being able to efficiently manage the storage from a people standpoint
[-]
Dave Vellante
it means being able to get as much 'value' out of the storage you pay for (e.g. the % of raw storage you can actually use) - where value is a balance of capacity & perf. based on your application needs
[-]
Dave Vellante
so from an oracle DB standpoint efficiency is getting consistent, predictable performance & low management costs with less storage - "doing more w/less"
[-]
cmosoares
In other words, lowering over TCO.
