OCI Region – HA Building Blocks
• Multiple fault de-correlated, completely independent
datacenters: Availability Domain (AD)
• Grouping of hardware and infrastructure within an AD:
Fault Domain
• Predictable low latency & high speed, encrypted
interconnect between ADs

One AD Regions
• OCI has chosen to launch regions in new geographies with
one AD (to increase our global reach quickly)
• For any region with one AD,
OCI Region (current) # Availability Domains
a second AD or region in the
US West (Phoenix) 3
same country or geo-political US East (Ashburn) 3
area will be made available UK South (London) 3
within a year to enable further Germany Central (Frankfurt) 3
options for DR and data Australia East (Sydney) 1

Inside an AD – High Scale, High Performance
Network
• Non-oversubscribed network; no noisy-neighbors
• Very high scale – ~1 million network ports in an AD
• Predictable low latency & high speed interconnect
between hosts in an AD

Off-box Network Virtualization
• Off Box Network Virtualization – moves storage and
network IO out of the hypervisor and enables lower
overhead and bare metal instances
