Day 3 VMware Experts Program Ireland

Day 3 VMware Experts Program Ireland started with a focus on Licensing the Oracle Database using VMware vSphere are your platform for virtualization. The highlight was learning about Licensefortress. Licensefortress was the most comprehensive license service I have ever seen. It included real time monitoring of your Oracle licenses to alert you as soon as you fall out of compliance. If you are audited by Oracle LMS (License Manage Service), Licensefortress provides a money back guarantee backed by Berkshire Hathaway.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, bad news it is?a train

50-70% Oracle revenue last year from database 12-17B per year

In US licensee has burden of proof use of Oracle license was in compliance

License fortress first and only license management service with a financial guarantee

On Oracle Licensing big issue customers do not know what they are using and for how long

Minimum license Oracle will sell is one year

An Oracle LMS Audit is not supposed to disrupt your business operation, you have 3-5 days to respond

They have right to audit Oracle usage, not how it is done. Need to work in good faith

Mike Adams discusses Product Walkthroughs

Best way to upgrade vSphere is to upgrade vCenter first

We want to put policies in place like this Oracle Database should always be on the best storage, the best CPU

We are going to take vCenter, vSphere, vSan and NSX and run it on the AWS infrastructure

The AWS Solution will be on Bare Metal

It’s all about speed

Don’t waste time going back, we are going forward

Attendee on Day 3 VMware Experts program Ireland made the comment “Do you even need Oracle enterprise edition when you are on Pure Storage?”

Developers expect self-service

Developers expect smaller frequent releases

Developers need more database copies, quicker refreshes, ?full-size copies

vShere HA + DRS Overview

In vSphere 6 we can protect against virtual machine storage failures

vSphere DRS is not a strict load balancer will only move if there is a net gain

affinity rules keep VM’s together, anti-affinity rules keep VM’s apart @vmware experts program #vmwora

With a manual vMotion a must rule can be overridden, but every five minutes DRS would move it back.

Predictive DRS move workloads based on historic data

VMware Experts Program Introduction and History

The VMware Elite Database Workshop Program was started in 2013 as a collaborative effort between the Cloud Platform Business Unit, then referred to as vSphere Product Marketing team and the VMware Global Center of Excellence. The program brings together database and certain applications experts in a variety of database and application disciplines at VMware in Palo Alto (Now globally) to meet with VMware and partner personal from the highest level executives to the engineers who architect the platform and write code. A variety of open discussions and exercises facilitate an intense learning environment leading to the expansion of a broader community of database experts who have extensive knowledge of VMware virtualized infrastructure.
