Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

One of the most challenging aspects of any software solution is to manage the storage effectively. Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) provides unique storage management and performance advantages to the Oracle database. When used with ASM Cluster File System (ACFS), it also provides a way to store any type of user data. ASM works seamlessly with single-server Oracle database as well as Real Application Clusters (RAC), which allows the database to scale out across a cluster of servers and provides fault tolerance against the failure of any server or software component. While ASM is versatile enough to run with any physical storage backend, it is also the key storage solution that enables the database to run in engineered systems such as the Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Database Appliance (ODA), and Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance. Some of the salient features of the ASM that makes it a ground breaking product are:

· File-based mirroring

· Dynamic online load re-distribution when storage pool changes

· Consolidated storage pools

· Improved data availability

The key algorithms used in ASM are patented and there is still lot of research that needs to be done to improve data availability with minimal impact to the application in light of various kinds of storage failures or corruptions. Our group is responsible for building highly available, scalable, and efficient software to solve customers' storage problems. We solve challenging problems in the areas of storage management, distributed systems, clustering, and high availability to make ASM an indispensable part of the Oracle stack. Our work gives team members an opportunity to design solutions that are used by Fortune 500 companies in their data centers to run mission-critical applications.
