Building on the capabilities of HP Serviceguard, HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC (SGeRAC) allows a group of HP 9000 and HP Integrity to be configured as a highly available cluster that supports Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on both HP-UX PA-RISC and Intel Itanium Processor Family platforms.
SGeRAC is tightly integrated with Oracle RAC to exploit the best features of HP enterprise clusters and Oracle relational database servers: high availability, data integrity, flexibility, scalability, and reduced database administration costs.
Key Features
- Rapid automatic detection and recovery times
- Ability to withstand multiple node failures
