This section describes the performance tests used to validate the best practices covered in this paper. This section does not provide the performance limits of the system since PowerMax performance can scale with additional resources (such as node pairs, connectivity, and disk enclosures). Instead, this section validates the best practices and details an example of Oracle database performance under different configurations and workloads.
