Testing Oracle 10g RAC Scalability on Dell PowerEdge Servers and Dell/EMC Storage

The potential for reaching a high-availability, horizontally scaled Oracle database by employing large numbers of inexpensive clustered hardware appliances, in this case with EMC/Dell storage devices, has been teasing customers ever since Oracle introduced their RAC technology several years ago.

This study discusses Oracle RAC technology and how Dell used Benchmark Factory and Spotlight on Oracle RAC to run their test plan, analyze the results, and tune the solution to achieve the best results for their customers.

  

Benchmark Factory Delivers Immediate Re tun on Investment to e-Rewards Market Research by Validating the Scalability of New Hardware Implementation

"Benchmark Factory allows us to perform stress tests and run industry standard benchmarks so we can validate that our new hardware configuration is processing transactions at a faster rate than with the old system. With Benchmark Factory, we are assured that our Oracle database and hardware/SAN are all configured to perform at optimum levels."

Burleson Case Studies

  • Oracle Benchmark Testing
    This case study from Burleson Consulting features Quest’s Benchmark Factory and how it can be used to perform load testing on an Oracle server to determine the point at which declining response time will occur.
  • Oracle materialized views and partitioning
    This Burleson Consulting case study describes how Benchmark Factory can be used to show the affects of user load on an architecture using partitioned, refresh on commit, materialized views.
  • Oracle Streams Benchmark Testing
    This Burleson Consulting case study explains how Benchmark Factory tests can be used to implode an Oracle instance and allow users to observe the breaking-point as high-volumes of data replicate to the to a remote server using n-way Oracle Streams.
