Looking to help customers move to the cloud at their own comfortable pace is Oracle Corp. and storage partner NetApp, Inc. A business outcome-focused approach has helped NetApp maintain it’s vendor-agnostic policies while encouraging the company to work with Oracle to innovate useful new products. NetApp’s Aaron Newcomb, Manager of Solutions Product Marketing, stopped by theCUBE at Oracle’s Open World 2014 conference to talk with Jeff Frick and John Furrier about the Oracle-NetApp relationship.
With the newly launched FlexPod, which functions specifically for Oracle Database workloads, NetApp is “delivering a million for customers for customers that want to deploy Oracle Database, specifically,” he added, “on top of Oracle Rack.” The FlexPod will be available at the end of October.
Newcomb observed that customers for which the FlexPod is in highest demand are those looking for high performance and low latency when processing online transaction workloads. The sub-second latency, he said, would help prevent customers from abandoning their cart due to wait times. This FlexPod solution, he said, is mainly “around IT and the datacenter, because it is for the specific workload that you’re probably not going to be running in the cloud.”
As Oracle moves towards cloud, so do customers
As Oracle reinvents itself, Newcomb pointed out that many customers are able to undergo a similar transformation. Some businesses have yet to take advantage of the economies of scale that come with migrating the datacenter the cloud offers, sometimes because customers don’t put much stock in cloud security. New products like NetApp’s Nano-private storage product enables apprehensive companies to keep their data in their private datacenter. Then, Newcomb explained, customers “mask that out, and then migrate that seamlessly to a cloud environment,” so they can still take advantage of cloud functionality.
NetApp’s philosophy involves “moving the data to where the resources are,” which, Newcomb pointed out, eliminates the risks of having Amazon.com Inc.’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) connect directly to the customer’s data center.
Why it’s “nice being agnostic”
Newcomb explained that for NetApp, customer choice comes first: it’s why they “work with everybody” to enable customer data. Yesterday, he added, NetApp announced increased support for Oracle and Database via an Oracle-VM plugin for Storage Connect, a management layer that “rides above the hypervisors.”
Making Database Administrators lives easier
As database administrators (DBAs) become more like “air traffic controllers,” Newcomb said that NetApp tries to “simplify all the complexity.” For Oracle, NetApp integrates plugins into the existing network. Their newest plugin is the Oracle Enterprise Manager, which enables DBAs to “look at infrastructure from the database standpoint.”
