Summary
ODAs are a high availability application and database infrastructure solution in a self-contained engineered
appliance. ODAs offer low-cost hardware with lower setup and ongoing support costs than traditional database
solutions. Deployments are automated and fast, including the creation of RAC One and two-node RAC cluster
databases. The ODA patching process patches the OS, grid, and database components as a single unit using Oracle
supplied software. ODAs come prepackaged with management and deployment software.
ODAs offer a unique “pay as you grow” Oracle licensing option. Applications and databases can be deployed on
ODAs using Oracle's virtualization product.
