Overview

In virtualized and consolidated Exadata Database Machine deployments, customers often require network security isolation to ensure operational separation of duties is maintained while still benefiting from the performance and consolidation benefits of Exadata. Secure RDMA Fabric Isolation - (aka Secure Fabric) - utilizes RoCE VLANs to ensure:

• Database servers in separate clusters cannot communicate with each other over the RoCE Fabric.
• Database servers in multiple clusters can share all of the storage server resources. However, even though the different clusters share the same storage network, no cross-cluster network traffic is possible.
