Architecture Overview

• Application Tier (Multi-Node): Runs Oracle E-Business Suite (or similar enterprise apps) across multiple application nodes handling WebLogic, forms, reports, and concurrent processing.
• Database Tier (RAC): Runs two or more database instances on separate servers accessing the same database files simultaneously.
• Storage Tier (ASM): Provides clustered, shared volume and disk group management across all database nodes using Cache Fusion for block synchronization.

  • Monitor multi-node application services status across all application instances.
