Essbase Fragmentation is not relevant anymore?
Hi All, I found below paragraph in Oracle documentation for 11.1.2.4.
“Historically, fragmentation has been perceived as degrading performance. However, with advances in hardware, memory, and disk architectures, the correlation between fragmentation and performance is no longer significant. Furthermore, several enhancements have been made to algorithms within Essbase, making the older statistics pertaining to fragmentation less relevant. Oracle recommends the use of the latest efficient storage systems to store Essbase data files, such as Storage Area Network (SAN) or flash.”
So my questions or confusions are -
1. is this statement valid only for Exalytics or it is applicable for non Exalytics also? and
