24 Migrating an Oracle Database to Dell EMC SC Series Storage | CML1001
4 Conclusion
Dell EMC SC Series storage works with many different OS platforms and the simplicity in management helps
reduce the complexity of storage management in the migration process. This frees up valuable time for
administrators to focus more on the migration work that is performed mostly on the OS and Oracle layers and
uses many of the Oracle and Linux native tools. Once the database is migrated to SC Series storage, it
benefits immediately from the advanced storage virtualization feature which ensures that the data is
automatically spread evenly across all drives at all times and intelligently places data at the most optimal tier
while maximizing data efficient with features like compression and deduplication. Compared to traditional
storage arrays, the SC Series enhances Oracle databases by eliminating the need to manually organize the
data files or tables in different storage media and the data is continuously self-optimizing with Data
Progression and storage profiles. The fast and space-efficient thin snapshots provide additional database
protection which improve data recovery time objective dramatically. SC Series hardware is fully redundant to
handle hardware failure and most of the storage operations can be performed online transparent to the Oracle
database, hence increasing the uptime and reliability of the environment.
