Appliance Components
Oracle Private Cloud Appliance consists of an Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242 rack, populated with the hardware components identified in the image and table below. A full rack configuration is shown, however you can customize your system to include different storage or compute capacity as needed.
Oracle Private Cloud Appliance supports flex bays, which are dedicated 4-rack-unit sections within the rack that can be used for flexible expansion of your system; adding either storage or compute resources.
