Hardware

1.Accesstoshareddiskstorage

2.Connectiontoaprivatenetwork

3.Accesstoapublicnetwork.

PrivateNetwork

Eachclusternodeisconnectedtoallothernodesviaaprivatehigh-speednetwork,alsoknownastheclusterinterconnectorhigh-speedinterconnect（HSI）.ThisnetworkisusedbyOracle'sCacheFusiontechnologytoeffectivelycombinethephysicalmemory（RAM）ineachhostintoasinglecache.OracleCacheFusionallowsdatastoredinthecacheofoneOracleinstancetobeaccessedbyanyotherinstancebytransferringitacrosstheprivatenetwork.Italsopreservesdataintegrityandcachecoherencybytransmittinglockingandothersynchronizationinformationacrossclusternodes.
