Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA: High Availability Solutions from China Suppliers and Factory
Product Description
Providing access to information 24/7 and protecting databases from unforeseen and planned downtime can be challenging for many organizations. Indeed, manually building redundancy into database systems can be risky and error-prone if the right skills and resources are not available in-house. Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA is designed for simplicity and reduces that element of risk and uncertainty to help customers deliver higher availability for their databases.
The Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA hardware is an 8U rack-mountable system containing two Oracle Linux servers and one storage shelf. Each server features two 16-core Intel® Xeon® S4314 processors, 512 GB of memory, and choice of either a dual-port 25-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP28 or a quad-port 10GBase-T PCIe network adapter for external networking connectivity with the option to add up to two additional dual-port 25GbE SFP28 or quad-port 10GBase-T PCIe network adapters. The two servers are connected via a 25GbE interconnect for cluster communication and share direct-attached high-performance SAS storage. The base system's storage shelf is partially populated with six 7.68 TB solid-state drives (SSDs) for data storage, totaling 46 TB of raw storage capacity.
Product Advantage
Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA runs Oracle Database Enterprise Edition or Oracle Database Standard Edition. It offers customers the option of running single-instance databases or clustered databases utilizing Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) or Oracle RAC One Node for "active-active" or "active-passive" database server failover. Oracle Data Guard is integrated with the appliance to simplify standby databases' configuration for disaster recovery.
