Understanding Scaling: Scaling Deployments of Oracle BI Enterprise Edition
This guide explains how to scale your deployment of Oracle Business Intelligence across the same or
multiple computers. It describes how to set up shared files and directories and how to use Fusion
Middleware Control to scale system components.
For more detailed information about these and other tasks, see the Oracle BI EE documentation on Oracle
Technology Network.
Understanding Scaling
You can expand or reduce the capacity of the system by
adjusting the number of processes that are available to the
cluster. A cluster consists of multiple server instances that run
simultaneously and work together to provide increased
scalability and reliability. Scaling is the process of expanding
or reducing the capacity of the system by changing the number
of processes that are available to service requests from Oracle
Business Intelligence clients. Scaling is also a critical part of
configuring a deployment for high availability.
You can:
Scale horizontally, which involves adding more computers
to the environment.
Scale vertically, which involves adding more Oracle
Business Intelligence components to the same computer,
to make increased use of the hardware resources on that
computer.
Scale both Oracle Business Intelligence Java components
and system components.

Keep in mind that the number of servers and hosts that you
define has an impact on the amount of disk space that is
required for the Oracle Business Intelligence installation.
Ensure that you monitor the disk space on the systems when
scaling out the environment. Additional log file activity also
results when you scale out the environment.
