Scaling Out the Configuration

You can scale out the configuration of Oracle Cloud at Customer.

From the minimum configuration, customers can build a customized configuration that can handle a wide variety of workloads, adding one or more additional compute, block or object subscriptions to the site as required.

When adding subscriptions, Oracle determines if the physical hardware resides in existing Cloud Machine racks, or if a new physical rack is required. If an existing rack can be used, Oracle ships the subscription's hardware profile to your site and installs and configures it in the existing footprint. If a new rack is required, Oracle will contact you to discuss the additional power and cooling requirements and organize for the scale up to occur.

The following chapters describe the requirements depending on the hardware configuration.
