The PowerFlex two-layer software defined infrastructure design can be used by the customers to scale both PowerFlex storage nodes and R6525 compute nodes independently, to match their capacity, performance, and growth demands. This flexible design creates a powerful platform to deploy database workloads such as Oracle RAC and meet the current and future performance and capacity needs. As this paper demonstrates, Dell PowerFlex storage and PowerFlex R6525 compute nodes achieve linear scalability and high performance at submillisecond latencies for Oracle RAC database workloads.
The combination of Dell PowerFlex critical storage features, such as data resiliency, encryption, compression, snapshots, and replication, together with the advanced AMD EPYC processor technologies, provide customers with a powerful database solution for complex database workloads.
