Overview The Blackboard Academic Suite is designed to meet the teaching, learning and outcomes needs of the 21st Century campus. Blackboard is a leading provider of education software for K-12, professional education, and higher education. As adoption increases among administration, faculty, and students, there has come a need for a scalable, reliable, cost-efficient infrastructure. The Blackboard Performance Engineering Team has designed a Scalable Reference Architecture to meet these needs. Blackboard and Dell have worked together to provide a hardware and software deployment solution that implements this Scalable Reference Architecture across multiple nodes. This multi-node implementation features software components from Blackboard, database components from Oracle, and hardware components from Dell.
