Our approach to validating best practices began with gathering recommendations from multiple sources and categorizing the guidelines into different layers of the database infrastructure. For example, in the case of the optimal PowerEdge server configuration for databases, the team pulled best practices from the current manuals and held meetings to review the findings with PowerEdge experts. Throughout every step of the program, Dell Oracle specialists and engineers responsible for considered every part of the Oracle infrastructure.
Technical expertise of each component and proper order of implementation is critical to get the most performance out of the infrastructure. For new infrastructure deployment, applying all best practices at once before running any benchmark should not have any effect on the ordering. Customers who are applying these best practices on an existing environment should apply these best practices in the order that would provide the best performance results. The following list describes each infrastructure layer that was validated for best practices, in the order tested:
