Oracle database workloads may not have I/O patterns that can be strictly categorized as OLTP or OLAP because several applications can reside within the same database. Multiple databases with different workloads can also co-exist on the same host. Choose and design a storage system that can handle different types of workloads. When testing the I/O systems, the combined workload of these databases should be accounted for and measured against the expected performance objectives.
The Dell all-flash midrange storage portfolio offers storage systems that scale in both IOPS and throughput. Combined with the advanced architecture and storage-saving, the Dell all-flash midrange platform is ideal for any type of Oracle workload.
