This technical white paper discusses an optimized solution architecture for deploying Oracle EBS on Dell PowerFlex infrastructure.
Dell PowerFlex is a complete infrastructure platform that combines storage, compute, and networking resources with industry-standard hardware. It empowers organizations to harness the power of software and embrace change while consistently achieving predictable outcomes for mission-critical workloads.
Dell PowerFlex is a modern foundation that delivers extreme flexibility, massive performance, and linear scalability while simplifying complete infrastructure management and boosting IT agility. It is the ideal foundation for organizations that are looking to modernize their mission-critical applications, consolidate heterogeneous workloads, and build agile, private, and hybrid clouds. It is also optimized and validated for a broad set of enterprise workloads including Oracle database, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP HANA, Cassandra, MongoDB, to Splunk, SAS, and Elastic Search.
Deploying Oracle EBS on Dell PowerFlex provides the following benefits:
Dell PowerFlex also provides a plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager (Oracle EM) that enables Oracle Database Administrators to monitor targets outside of Oracle products. Dell Plug-in for Oracle EM provides a proactive approach to managing hardware for database servers such as the PowerEdge and monitoring the PowerFlex two-layer deployment components such as SDC and SDS and their sub-components through the integration with Dell OpenManage and PowerFlex gateway. This plug-in allows DBAs to discover, inventory, and monitor the database infrastructure running on Dell PowerFlex platform. Because Oracle maps databases to server host names, the DBAs can proactively monitor for any potential database performance issues by drilling down on the SDC nodes or SDS nodes.
This plug-in also provides DBAs the ability to launch the PowerFlex management console directly from the Oracle EM console to further investigate issues or to perform other PowerFlex tasks such as troubleshooting, configuring, or managing the PowerFlex components.
