Whether using a dedicated bare metal database configuration or a larger virtualized database environment for consolidation best practices can assist with optimizing the systems. Over time our Oracle engineers at Dell have been incrementally testing best practices to provide greater value to our customers. The objective is to validate, consolidate recommendations to one place and categorize the impact of the best practices. In this section we will provide links to the best practices on the Dell Technologies Info Hub. The best practice links will cover database, PowerEdge, Linux, network, and storage recommendations.
We categorize best practices by when they should be applied:
