Oracle RAC performance architectures
SRP and iSER targets
SRP and iSER are RDMA-capable block protocols that can be sent over RDMA-capable networks such as
Infiniband. IO Accelerators are a good match for use with SRP/iSER because of the high performance
they can deliver over the wire.
By setting up two or three separate SRP or iSER target servers and using ASMs built in replication
capabilities (levels NORMAL or HIGH redundancy), a fault-tolerant, high performance RAC cluster can be
built.
