This paper describes the implementation of Oracle single instance databases on Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS. This architecture enables Amazon EC2 instances that are storage optimized to be configured separately from Amazon EC2 instances that are compute optimized for databases and application workloads.
Running Oracle database instances on Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS provides complete control over the infrastructure components and database environment. You can manage and monitor the Dell APEX Block Storage for AWS and have the choice of using features such as snapshots and replication. This flexible design enables configuration and tuning of all the components, including Amazon EC2 instances, storage volumes, scalability, and security based on the AWS best practices.
