The maximum number of compute nodes in a single Oracle Private Cloud at Customer base rack is determined by the capacity of the power distribution units (PDUs) installed in the rack:
15 kVA PDUs can provide power to a base system with 13 compute nodes
22 kVA PDUs can provide power to a base system with 23 compute nodes
24 kVA PDUs can provide power to a base system with 25 compute nodes
External Storage
Oracle Private Cloud at Customer is deployed with an additional Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2, which provides 200TB of storage space for use by the guest VMs hosted in your private cloud environment.
In a typical deployment the external storage appliance is installed in a separate rack and connected to the necessary InfiniBand and Ethernet networks. Optionally, the storage appliance can be installed into the Oracle Private Cloud at Customer base rack, on condition that the virtualization platform consists of no more than 9 compute nodes.
For detailed information about the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2, refer to the product data sheet.
