Databases running on the cloud are not exactly the same as on-premise databases. They have different deployment models and network architectures, the protocols for accessing them are strictly controlled, their configuration is locked down, and some administration commands are blocked. This raises a question on how to effectively monitor an Oracle Database cloud ecosystem. Join this session to learn practical examples of how to diagnose and resolve application problems using various tools that help DBAs with day-to-day tasks and master cloud database management.

The Latest Persistent Memory such as Intel Optane Persistent Memory (PMEM) combines near-DRAM performance with the data persistence of storage. It can be configured in memory mode or application direct mode.  When the memory mode is used, PMEMs can be considered as volatile and can be used as main memory and DRAM is treated as a write-back cache. PMEMs can also be configured in application direct mode to store database files and redo logs. This presentation will discuss the use cases of PMEM:1)  In memory mode use PMEMs for Oracle In Memory store ;2) in Application direct  mode to store the database files, namely persistent Memory Database in  Oracle 21c. We will discuss the significant performance benefits that can be achieved from either of these two modes. We will discuss the Persistent Memory Database feature that includes directly mapped buffer cache and Persistent Memory Filestore (PMEM Filestore) in Oracle 21c. We will also discuss how PMEMs are used in Oracle Exadata X8M.
