As shown in the figure below, the architecture that we tested included a dedicated Dell EMC PowerEdge server as the (TimesTen) application or client server, two dedicated PowerEdge servers for the two-node RAC database cluster, and a Dell EMC all-flash enterprise storage array for storing the Oracle data and HLR benchmarking schema. We used two 25 GbE top-of-rack (ToR) switches for all the database traffic between the application server, Oracle RAC nodes, and the shared storage array. We used two 1 GbE Dell EMC Networking switches for any management traffic.
