In the past five years e-mail messages have moved from being an interesting new means of personal communication to a business-to-customer and business-to-business communications pipeline. When an e-mail application is unreliable or not working, ongoing business processes slow down. No company can afford these types of problems. Enterprises today need a reliable and cost-effective e-mail infrastructure that allows them to meet their current needs as well as grow to meet new business demands.
With that in mind, the HP/Oracle alliance is providing a way to improve and simplify the implementation of a scalable, highly available electronic messaging infrastructure. This standard infrastructure blueprint is a distillation of Oracle's and HP's best practices regarding architecture, sizing, deploying and operating enterprise-scale e-mail and messaging environments. In addition, the suggested design shows how to improve the reliability and availability of the data center by using Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, Oracle9i Application Server, HP-UX 11i, HP Enterprise Servers and Storage, HP ServiceGuard OPS Edition, as well as other redundant hardware and software.
The Oracle E-mail Blueprint with Oracle9i Real Application Clusters for HP can be used as a starting point for planning an e-mail environment, or can be used as a decision-making tool for anyone involved in building and operating a unified messaging environment.
