Capacity-on-Demand software licensing enables you to deploy as few or as many processors in Oracle Database Appliance as your workload requires.
Oracle Database Appliance’s Capacity-on-Demand feature enables you to add more processor cores to scale up to increased system demands as you need to, without incurring the excessive costs and downtime usually associated with hardware upgrades.
The following table lists the scaling capacities for Oracle Database Appliance bare metal and virtualized platform deployments. The decision to use bare-metal or Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform depends on your company policies and the benefits that each implementation offers your company.
