Agenda
Topology Considerations
Recommended Topologies
Q and A
Recommended Topologies
What is it?– Oracle Recommended Topologies
To address 80% use cases in the market
Why do we need it?– Too many deployment topologies
Test, document, support and recommend smaller set of topologies
What are the benefits?– Oracle
Enables better planning internally Help guide customers on how best to deploy our product
– Customers Oracle recommended topology Better performance
Recommended Topologies
General Development Configurations– Java Developer– Portal and Wireless Developer– Forms and Reports Developer– Integration Architect and Process Modeler
General Deployment Configurations– Enterprise Data Center Configuration– Departmental Configuration– Development Life Cycle Support Configuration (Test to
Stage to Production rollout support)
Topology Considerations
Installation Considerations– How do I install Oracle Application Server 10G (9.0.4) to get
to a specific topology?– Which distributed install model is best suited for this
topology?– What types of machines are typically used in this
topology?– What is the profile of the user who would do the
installations in this topology?
Topology Considerations
Application Deployment and Performance Considerations– What type of performance goals are typical for this
type of topology, and what heuristics can be used to estimate representative values for those goals.
– What distribution of components across multiple hardware best meets those performance goals
– How are applications and OracleAS components best distributed among multiple hardware nodes to meet the performance goals
– What application development strategies will maximize the performance of a topology
– What tunable parameters exist to improve performance, and how to determine when to alter these parameters
Topology Considerations
Security Considerations– What level of security does the topology require?– What isolation of components or applications is
needed to increase the security of these topologies?– What 3rd party suppliers for security hardware and
software requirements exist for these topologies?
Topology Considerations
Management Considerations– What facilities are required to manage this
topology?– What distributions of components or applications
across multiple hardware nodes provides for manageable topology?
– What backup and recovery methods to use for these topologies?
– What are the best management practices for these topologies?
Topology Considerations
HA Considerations– Which HA methodology is recommended for these
topologies?
3rd Party Products– What are the special 3rd party products such as
gateways, adapters, and load balancer, firewall requirements in these topologies?
– How do these 3rd party products impact the high availability, management, security and performance recommendations for these configurations?
Migration Objectives– How would earlier versions of Oracle9iAS need to
be migrated to fit into this configuration?

Development Life Cycle Support Configurations
Development Life Cycle Support Configurations
Tests ongoing. Recommendations not yet defined for how applications get moved from Test to Stage to Production Environment.
. The instances do not move.. Just applications moves
. Test environment recommendation would be similar to Developer topologies
. Staging environment recommendation would be similar to Departmental topology
. Production environment recommendation would be similar to Enterprise Data Center topology
Recommended Topology Project
•Where are we with this project as of 8/7/2003:
•Testing for deployment topologies are ongoing. Results with recommendation will be documented in official documentation before production.
•Sizing tools are planned and we hope to have it delivered close to production.
•The following sales tools are planned:
• Cheat sheet with consideration decisions to help decide which topology a customer would get most benefit from .
• Comparison study on how we compare with BEA/IBM wrt these topologies.
• Document of the type of licenses recommended to deploy these topologies
