This section provides an overview of the architecture and design of the Oracle RAC database solution on Dell PowerFlex used in this white paper.
This solution design implements the Oracle RAC database in a two-layer PowerFlex bare metal environment. The PowerFlex R6525 powered by AMD EPYC processors is used as compute-only nodes for the Oracle RAC database instances.
For this solution, the PowerFlex engineering team tested the performance of the following Oracle database environments:
