Oracle Exadata RoCE and InfiniBand Switch Architecture Explained: RDMA, Network Fabric & I/O Flow
Oracle Exadata’s network fabric is designed for high-speed, low-latency communication between database and storage servers. Earlier Exadata generations relied on InfiniBand, while newer platforms use Ethernet-based RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) to support efficient RDMA communication and high-performance database I/O.
This guide explores RoCE, InfiniBand, RDMA, switch architecture, network redundancy, Smart I/O, and database-to-storage I/O flow—helping Oracle DBAs and infrastructure professionals understand Exadata networking and troubleshoot performance issues effectively.
