ORACLE DATA SHEET
BACKUP AND RECOVERY FOR ORACLE
ENGINEERED SYSTEMS WITH ORACLE'S
SUN ZFS BACKUP APPLIANCE
Oracle’s Sun ZFS Backup Appliance
provides an integrated high-
performance backup solution for
Oracle engineered systems that reduces
backup and recovery time objectives by
more than half compared to
competitive engineered systems backup
solutions.
The Sun ZFS Backup Appliance, a Cost-
Effective Platform for Disaster Recovery
Ever-growing amounts of data present system and
database administrators with a number of challenges—
the thorniest of which are associated with the complex
process of backup and recovery. Besides growing in size, today’s databases must meet
stringent data protection requirements—a task made more difficult by the significant failure
rate of backup and recovery. According to a 2008 report from the Enterprise Strategy Group
(ESG), one out of every seven backups and one out of every six recoveries fail. Without
reliable data protection and processes, mission-critical data is at risk.
The Sun ZFS Backup Appliance is a tested, validated and supported backup appliance
specifically tuned for Oracle engineered systems backup and recovery. The Sun ZFS Backup
Appliance has extremely fast backup and restore throughputs, ensuring that backup windows
and recovery time objectives (RTOs) are met by providing timely recovery in the event of a
disaster.
The Sun ZFS Backup Appliance is easily integrated with Oracle Exadata systems. License-
free data services, including snapshot and compression, drive down capital and operational
costs.
With the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance snapshot and cloning capabilities, database backups can
be used more for value-added work and provide system administrators with additional
recovery options. For example, snapshot deployment of database clones provide development,
quality assurance (QA), and other organizations with up-to-date copies of production data, and
these additional copies add yet another safeguard in the unlikely event of an outage.
High Bandwidth InfiniBand Connectivity
Oracle is leading the way with native high-bandwidth InfiniBand interconnects. The QDR
InfiniBand fabric provides high bandwidth between the Oracle Exadata database servers,
storage cells, and the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance. Backup and restore operations can be
automatically parallelized across all database nodes, Oracle Exadata storage cells, Sun ZFS
Backup Appliance channels, and controllers. This significantly reduces backup and RTOs
compared to traditional NAS storage systems.

Superior Performance
Because of its high bandwidth interconnects and superior processing power, the ZFS Backup
Appliance is nearly 7 times faster at Oracle Exadata backup and at least 1.6 times faster at
Oracle Exadata recovery compared to competitive engineered systems backup solutions.
Testing has shown that Oracle Exadata in a Half Rack configuration with a performance
model Sun ZFS Backup Appliance demonstrated NFS-based backup performance over
InfiniBand at a data rate of 20 TB/hr, and a restore rate of 9.4 TB/hr. The backup rate is fast
enough to completely back up an Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 in a Half Rack
configuration in less than 1.2 hours, or an Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 in a Full
Rack configuration in 2.25 hours. Like Oracle Exadata, the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance is a
scalable architecture. By adding additional capacity, the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance can
currently support capacities up to 1.7 PB while maintaining balanced system performance.
Cost Effectiveness
Because the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance connects directly to Oracle Exadata's internally
managed InfiniBand network, there is no need for a media server and the associated software
licenses used in traditional backup architectures (without tape). This needless extra hardware,
software, and support can add significantly to TCO compared to a direct Sun ZFS Backup
Appliance solution.
And with the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance, a rich set of data services are included with the
system. Replication and cloning are available at additional cost. With Sun ZFS Backup
Appliance, you can achieve significantly lower TCO than EMC and NetApp. Lower TCO
means that you can afford more backup capacity than you can with competing products.
Simplified Management
Thanks to the groundbreaking intuitive user interface provided by Sun ZFS Backup
Appliance, enterprises can reduce administration time by more than 30 percent, making it the
preferred platform for Oracle Database backup and recovery. Provisioning and management is
dramatically simplified with the Sun ZFS Backup Appliance with an easy-to-use management
interface that takes the guesswork out of system installation, configuration, and tuning. In
addition, the built-in suite of software data services and communication protocols eliminates
add-on software evaluation and procurement challenges.
Oracle’s DTrace Analytics provides unparalleled visibility for administrators to monitor vital
system parameters that can affect backup and recovery of Oracle Exadata 2 environments.
Performance bottlenecks and other issues can be pinpointed and resolved faster than ever
before—thus minimizing adverse RTO, recovery point objective (RPO), and service-level
agreement (SLA) impacts.
Reduced Risk
Sun ZFS Backup Appliance provides data integrity features that reduce risk of lost or corrupt
data. End-to-end checksumming constantly reads and checks data to ensure that it’s correct.
Predictive self-healing capabilities maximize system availability by automatically diagnosing,
isolating, and recovering from faults. For example, Oracle’s fault management architecture
detects and diagnoses underlying problems using an extensible set of agents. When a faulty
component is discovered, self-healing features automatically take the faulty component
offline. The system also provides concise diagnostic messages that link to Oracle’s
knowledgebase, guiding administrators through corrective tasks when human intervention is
required. And industry-leading triple-parity RAID further reduces the risk of data loss.
Remote replication is available at an extra charge to facilitate disaster recovery processes. The
Sun ZFS Backup Appliance can replicate an Oracle Exadata backup set or image copy to
another Sun ZFS Backup Appliance to ensure protection from a complete loss of the primary
ORACLE DATA SHEET

site. Clustered controllers ensure access to data is not compromised during maintenance
operations or the unlikely event of a complete head failure.
Oracle Recovery Manager
Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), a command-line and Oracle Enterprise Manager–based
tool, is the preferred method for efficient backup and recovery of your Oracle Database.
Oracle RMAN provides block-level corruption detection during backup and restore. In
addition, Oracle RMAN optimizes performance and space consumption during backup with
file multiplexing and backup set compression, and it integrates with Oracle Secure Backup
and third-party media management products for tape backup.
A Range of Configurations
To meet a variety of capacity, price, and performance needs, Oracle’s Sun ZFS Backup
Appliance is available in two configurations: Sun ZFS Backup Appliance HP performance
configuration and Sun ZFS Backup Appliance HC capacity configuration. Ranging in capacity
from 55 TB raw to 132 TB raw and scalable to 1.7 PB, these systems ensure that you have
sufficient hardware to meet current needs, and that you can incrementally upgrade as your
business grows.
