Your advantages with the
1
security standards
The service is provided exclusively in
Platinum data centers in Switzerland.
A virtual machine (VM) and the CDB it
contains are always assigned to only
one customer, which guarantees
complete isolation of the customer
environments.
3
save costs
The transfer of data management and
platform operation saves IT resources
and operating costs. Virtualization
enables resources to be used
according to demand and the
associated billing according to effective
resource allocation.
2
service level
With options such as RAC, Data Guard,
DB backups and proactive monitoring,
your data is highly available and well
protected. SLAs for Availability,
Recovery Time (RTO) & Recovery Point
(RPO) are offered.
4
scalability & licensability
The resources (vCPU) can be adjusted
as needed.
Virtualization is implemented with
Oracle VM according to Oracle's hard
partitioning rules. OnPremise licenses
from Oracle can be used like an
installation on dedicated servers.

Real Swissness!
data center operation support 100% swissness
Swisscom and Trivadis provide the
service exclusively in Platinum
data centres in Switzerland.
Administration, maintenance and
lifecycle of the database platform
as well for the cloud are
exclusively provided from
Switzerland.
Customer support for requests is
provided fully from Switzerland.
In contrary to other cloud
providers, there is real Swissness

How You Implement
Cloud Infrastructure Matters
If everyone has a different understanding of what it
means to be “in the cloud,” how can we actually
measure its benefits? We address this limitation by
focusing on the essential characteristics of cloud
computing – as defined by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)*
* Google: The 2019 Accelerate State of DevOps

Essential Characteristics of Cloud
Computing
• On-demand self-service
Consumers can automatically provision computing resources as needed,
without human interaction from the provider.
• Broad network access
Capabilities can be accessed through heterogeneous platforms such as
mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations.
• Resource pooling
Provider resources are pooled in a multi-tenant model, with physical and
virtual resources dynamically assigned on-demand.
• Rapid elasticity
Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released to rapidly scale outward or inward on
demand, appearing to be unlimited and able to be appropriated in any quantity at any time.
• Measured service
Cloud systems automatically control, optimize, and report resource use based on
the type of service such as storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts.

Technical Challenges
- Build an Oracle licence compliant&optimized DBaaS platform
- Build a secure multi-tenant DBaaS platform
- Build a highly automated DBaaS platform
- Integration of a Service Provider into Swisscom
as a Cloud Service Provider
Organizational Challenges
- Integration of a Service Provider into an
agile Organisaton
- Agile Organisation of a bunch of Principal Consultants

The Solution Components

Special license models for special systems...
Trusted PartitionsCapacity-on-Demand
Cloud

Trusted Partitions
• Approved list of Oracle Engineered Systems eligible for Trusted Partitions
• For the purposes of licensing Oracle programs in a Trusted Partition,
two (2) virtual CPUs (vCPU) are counted as equivalent to a physical core
• Requirements:
• Enterprise Manager (see My Oracle Support Note 1471719.1)
• Connected Mode: Usage reported via My Oracle Support
• Disconnected Mode: quarterly Reports, locally stored for two years

How to setup and provide a DBaaS Platform?
PCA is just an IaaS platform without storage.
We need an adequate storage and an
orchestration layer which integrates into the
PCA management layer.

Private Cloud Appliance

Private Cloud Appliance with ZFS Appliance

Connecting ZFSA to PCA for Database
Access
• Oracle proposes to use 10 Gb/s Ethernet
connections to access the ZFS storage from the
Oracle database.
• This enables the use of dNFS and OISP, the
preferred protocols for DB access.
• Oracle Intelligent Storage Protocol is available
exclusively with the combination of Oracle
Database 12c and Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
systems
• The Infiniband connections between ZFSA and
PCA will be used for the VM repositories.

Dynamic Actions
• Dynamically record size, log bias

• Pluggable database analytics (shipping)
• Oracle Enterprise Manager provisioning

• Analytics AWR feed
• I/O fair share scheduling and DB priority
• I/O caching/prefetch
Oracle Intelligent Storage Protocol (OISP)
Oracle Database with Oracle
Intelligent Storage Protocol
• Extensions built on top of NFSv4 protocol
• Each I/O is tagged with data context
• I/O reason
• I/O priority
• File type (redo log, data file,
control file, backup file)
• Database block size for file
• Database and/or pluggable
database ID
• Cache hints
• Prefetch hints

From PCA the IaaS Platform – to DBaaS
Platform

Multi-Tenancy – Risk Mitigation
An Oracle multitenant container database provides
the following features beyond regular security
measures:
• PATH_PREFIX and CREATE_FILE_DEST clause to
limit data files and directory objects to certain
paths.
• PDB_OS_CREDENTIAL parameter assigning a
dedicated user account for OS interactions
• Lockdown profiles to restrict certain operations or
functionalities in a PDB
Lockdown profiles, path prefix and PDB OS
credentials are relatively new features. Be aware
about Oracle release dependencies, related bugs and
restrictions.
