Flash Cache 过渡方案

Flash Cache的新特性就早已经被释放出来，该特性允许使用SSD硬盘作为Buffer Cache的二级缓存，以在磁盘和内存之间增加一级缓冲，提升数据访问性能。

以下是文档中的一些描述：

A transparent extension of the database buffer cache using solid-state disk (SSD) technologySSD acts as a Level 2 cache (SGA is Level 1)

Faster than disk (100x faster for reads)

Cheaper than memory ($50 per gigabyte)

Large capacity (hundreds of gigabytes per flash disk)Fewer drives and better performanceFor I/O throughput, users often use hundreds of drives today

Flash enables I/O throughput without all the drives

Large jobs complete faster

这一特性依赖几个参数设置：

Install Flash Drive in the Host Server，

Set two init.ora parameters:

db_flash_cache_file =

Specifies the path to the flash disk

db_flash_cache_size=

Specifies the amount of flash disk to use

我们可以看出SSD作为2级缓存减轻了磁盘的负担，通过快速的、相对廉价的SSD设备，可以有效的缩减物理IO，从而提升性能：
