This document discusses accelerating big data solutions using Oracle NoSQL Database, Cisco UCS, and Fusion-io storage. It provides an overview of big data characteristics and business benefits. It then summarizes Oracle NoSQL Database architecture and how its collaboration with Cisco UCS and Fusion-io storage provides optimized, high-performance solutions. The document outlines performance testing using YCSB that showed the solution can achieve over 1 million operations per second. It also discusses how Fusion-io's software-defined storage architecture provides extreme throughput and low latency.

3. VOLUME, VELOCITY, VARIETY, VALUE
Big Data characteristics
▸ Terabytes, Petabytes
▸ Multiple sources for data
▸ Text, images, XML, JSON,
sensor readings…
▸ Not “master” data, but
important for business
▸ “Real-time” needs

9. NOSQL DB AND CISCO UCS COLLABORATION
WHY DOES IT MATTER
▸ Many components: network, processors, memory,
software, storage – tested, tuned and optimized
▸ Business can focus on core competency and
leveraging benefits of big data

10. NOSQL DB AND FUSION-IO COLLABORATION
WHY DOES IT MATTER
▸ Speed (latency) is critical
• Amazon study:
Every 100 millisecond increase in latency costs 1% in sales
http://highscalability.com/latency-everywhere-and-it-costs-you-sales-how-crush-it
▸ ioMemory enables consistent, extremely low latency and
extreme throughput

11. ORACLE NOSQL DB, CISCO UCS, FUSION-IO
▸ Commercial grade solution and support
▸ Tested, tuned, optimized for real-time data
management
▸ For equivalent performance, much lower CapEx
and OpEx compared to commodity (DIY) solutions

16. PUTTING PERFORMANCE IN CONTEXT
Highlights
▸ For Example, Twitter: ~150K
API calls/sec
▸ We can achieve that
performance on a single
UCS c240 server using
two ioDrive2s
▸ Plenty of capacity to handle
fluctuating demand without
compromising performance
