Infrastructure & Licensing Considerations for Hyperconverged Technologies
Advances in technology now have IT organizations evaluating hyper-converged solutions in lieu of building systems. Hyper-converged solutions integrate computers, networking, virtualization, flash storage, and management in one platform that accelerates deployment. In this session, we evaluate each component layer of these new hyper-converged technologies per the Oracle contract, with an eye to reducing rather than increasing database licensing quantities. Attending this session will give IT organizations a clear roadmap for managing database licensing, and offer next steps if additional resources are needed. DBAs and others attending this session will gain knowledge regarding how to apply licensing guidelines on hyper-converged platforms.

Key Considerations for Placing Tier 1 Workloads on Software-Defined Storage Aug 15 2017 9:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Shawn Meyers, Principal Architect, House of Brick TechnologiesSoftware Defined Storage is quickly becoming mainstream and not having to deal with all of the headaches of storage management can be a wonderful thing. Placing your tier 1 database workloads onto Software Defined Storage is possible, but it needs to be done correctly. Tier 1 database workloads are typically the most I/O intensive systems in an environment. Consequently, there are additional considerations that need to be taken into account in order to ensure performance and redundancy for these critical workloads. It doesn’t matter if your workload is SQL Server or Oracle, or if you are running Hyper-V or VMware, the concepts are the same. In this session, we will walk through SDS, and cover topics including: sizing your workload, validating performance characteristics, and following recommended best practices for placing your most important applications on SDS. -
Oracle Baselines and Benchmarks for the Business Recorded: May 23 2017 43 mins
Jonas Mason, Senior Consultant & Joe Grant, Principal Architect; House of Brick TechnologiesBusinesses sometime ignore Oracle database performance until poor performance impacts profitability, or the cost of Oracle licensing becomes significant. But this consideration frequently comes a bit late, and can cause tension between the business and technical staff.
Hear how we have helped our clients bridge the gap between business needs and technical resources. Learn how using the right tools, like Statspack and AWR, can help identify performance trends and enable a healthy dialogue between the business, technical, DBA, developer, and infrastructure teams.
Discover the importance of benchmarks in establishing baselines that:
1) Facilitate performance troubleshooting
2) Enable efficient use of existing hardware
3) Inform the hardware and software requisition narrative
Is the problem poorly performing hardware, misconfigured servers and instances, expensive SQL, and/or a lack of data life cycle management? An incorrect answer could place blame with the wrong department, increase frustration levels, and possibly result in higher hardware and software costs. So find the correct answer using the tools discussed in this webinar and facilitate a more cost effective and attainable solution for your business. -
Clarifying the Cloud: Licensing Oracle in the Skytap Cloud Recorded: Feb 28 2017 46 mins
Nathan Biggs; House of Brick Technologies, CEO & Jeff Schroeder; Skytap, Cloud Solutions ArchitectThere is a lot of confusion around Oracle licensing, especially in virtualized or Cloud environments. In this session, we will provide an overview of the Skytap Cloud, and what Skytap has done to facilitate Oracle license-compliance in their cloud. We will provide education on the principles of Oracle licensing, and information on how those principles are applied to workloads running in the Skytap Cloud. -

To Cloud or Not to Cloud: What Are the Right Questions? Recorded: Nov 15 2016 42 mins
Jim Hannan, Principal Architect & Bob Lindquist, Client Services Director, House of Brick TechnologiesEveryone is talking about Cloud Computing, but there seems to be wildly differing perspectives on what it means, how it works, and the costs and benefits of such a model. When it comes to databases and other business critical applications in the cloud, the message is even more confusing. In this session, we will discuss what House of Brick is seeing and hearing from large enterprises to small businesses. The session will present the “right questions” to ask about Tier 1 applications and cloud – from private to public and other key SaaS/DBaaS considerations. -
