#powersystems
Pros:
Efficient resource usage fewer processes running, shared SGA
Fewer databases to administer, back up, patch
No application changes needed
No direct connection between pluggable databases (better security than schema
consolidation)
Cons:
Separate license fee required - $17,500 per core
Requires same character set, software versions, and mostly the same parameters to be
used by all pluggable databases
Bugs from one pluggable database environment may impact others
No memory resource prioritization
All application environments must share the same maintenance window, backup and
recovery solution
Some features such as Streams, ADO, and pre-12C databases are not compatible with
CDBs
Application vendors may not permit use of a shared container database
Some performance issues may be exacerbated (such as combining multiple LGWRconstrained
workloads)

Consolidation Levels
Server Consolidation
Databases are isolated into separate VMs or partitions (or WPARs)
Pros:
Provides the maximum level of resource isolation and SLA
guarantees
Isolates and restricts Oracle licenses to the cores on which it runs
Cons:
Still requires maintenance of each partition and database
LPAR 1
CRM DB
LPAR 2
HR DB
Server
Database Consolidation
Multiple databases are configured in a single VM, partition, or

Pros:
Fewer OS images to maintain
Binaries may still be separate or consolidated
Cons:
Still requires maintenance of each database
All databases must be able to support a common SLA
Resource management needed
