Faster Oracle Database Access With the RamSan-210

Overview Texas Memory Systems manufactures the RamSan-210 solid state disk. The RamSan-210 provides high bandwidth and high I/O throughput for servers and storage networks. It is one of many tools that can be used to improve Oracle performance. If the Oracle application is being slowed down by I/O bottlenecks, the RamSan-210 can help improve the performance. This whitepaper discusses methods for identifying I/O bottlenecks on Windows and UNIX based systems, presents results of benchmark testing the authors have completed with Oracle, presents the Oracle components that are the best candidates for migration to a solid state disk, documents a method to identify the Oracle files that are causing I/O bottlenecks, and presents ways to incorporate a RamSan-210 solid state disk into the architecture.
