1.1 What Is an Enterprise Deployment?
An enterprise deployment is an Oracle best practices blueprint based on proven Oracle high-availability and security technologies and recommendations for Oracle Fusion
Middleware. The best practices described in these blueprints span all Oracle products across the entire technology stack: Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle
Applications, Oracle Collaboration Suite, and Fusion Middleware Control.
An Oracle Fusion Middleware enterprise deployment:
■
considers various business service level agreements SLA to make high-availability best practices as widely applicable as possible
■
leverages database grid servers and storage grid with low-cost storage to provide highly resilient, lower cost infrastructure
■
uses results from extensive performance impact studies for different configurations to ensure that the high-availability architecture is optimally
configured to perform and scale to business needs
■
enables control over the length of time to recover from an outage and the amount of acceptable data loss from a natural disaster
■
uses Oracle best practices and recommended architecture, which are independent of hardware and operating systems.
