Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) empowers business users, data engineers, and data scientists to access and process data, evaluate predictions, and make quick and accurate decisions. OAS addresses the entire analytics process, including data ingestion, preparation and enrichment, visualization, and collaboration. Machine learning is embedded throughout the platform to help organizations move from data-driven to analytics-driven enterprises.
PowerFlex is a modern, unified, software-defined platform that delivers extreme flexibility, high availability, 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.
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 achieving consistently predictable outcomes for mission-critical workloads.
Deploying OAS on Dell PowerFlex provides the following benefits:
The purpose of this document is to provide a high-level design guidance for deploying OAS on Dell PowerFlex infrastructure for data analytics and machine learning purposes. This design guide also discusses deployment options for each of the OAS tiers to maintain high availability.
This document is intended for enterprises looking to implement OAS for data analytics workloads and machine learning. These roles may include:
