To make the learning experience as realistic and useful as possible we keep the systems as 'real' as we can without introducing excessive cost and taking up valuable desk space. This is achieved by using low-cost mini-ITX hardware and commodity networking equipment to model much larger Oracle system within a small footprint. All systems run Oracle Enterprise Linux so that, for administrators running any type of Unix, tasks such as scripting, maintenance and management are kept as close to the product environment as possible. The end result is that the administrator has a system which is: small, fast, reliable and realistic at an affordable price.
Two Node e-Business Suite Architecture,
shown with user laptop running forms interface.
All architectures are comprehensively tested before leaving the workshop and are available in two variations: Ready for Oracle and Fully Built.
Ready for Oracle systems are built to operating system level and are at the point where the Oracle environment can be installed. All users, groups, kernel parameters, storage options have been pre-set in the workshop so the Oracle installation is a smooth process.
Fully Built systems have Oracle software installed on them in the workshop so you that the system can be used as soon as it is delivered. When ordering a fully built system please read the notes at the foot of this page.
