Dense peak periods and wild swings in traffic patterns result in low utilization rates of expensive hardware. Amazon Web Services provides the reliable, scalable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure required for Oracle PeopleSoft while enabling an elastic, scale out and scale down infrastructure to match IT costs in real time as customer traffic fluctuates Sample Architecture • High-Memory Extra Large Instance Database Server • m1.large Application Servers • m1.small Web Servers • m1.medium File and Batch Servers
- 6. PeopleSoft Architecture on Amazon Theuser's DNS requests are served by Amazon Route 53, a highly available Domain Name System (DNS) service. Network traffic is routed to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services. HTTP requests are first handled by Elastic Load Balancing, which automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances across Availability Zones (AZs). It enables even greater fault tolerance in your applications, seamlessly providing the amount of load balancing capacity needed in response to incoming application traffic.
- 7. PeopleSoft Architecture on Amazon OracleWeb, application and database servers are deployed on Amazon EC2 instances. These are Amazon Machine Image (AMI) using Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 and Oracle PeopleSoft Amazon Spot Instances or Auto Scaling can be used to support batch processing. Web and application servers are deployed in an Auto Scaling group. Auto Scaling automatically adjusts your capacity according to conditions you define. This ensures that the number of Amazon EC2 instances increases seamlessly during demand spikes. Oracle Database 11g is run on RDS Instances and replicated using Oracle Data Guard. Oracle database backups and the batch flat files for integration with the corporate data center are stored on Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), a highly durable storage infrastructure designed for mission-critical and primary storage.
