As part of the Oracle9i Database, Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (RAC) provides both scalability and availability as a single, easy to manage database product. In addition to being a technology partner for the development of the product, HP:
- Contributed components of HP TruCluster Server technology for use in the productplayed a major role in the cache fusion design discussionshas the closest development relationship for Oracle9i RAC on Unix, Linux and Windowsprovides the infrastructure for scalability and performance testingis the only vendor to publish all Oracle9i RAC benchmarks to date
Scale up
Whether you are using the Oracle9i Database for mission critical OLTP, data warehousing applications, business intelligence, or in support of extensive web functions, your system must be capable of handling all types of information, while providing transparent scalability.
Now, thanks to an HP Adaptive Infrastructure, you have more power to "scale up." This means you can:
- Consolidate your resources and eliminate costly server sprawl
- Improve performance by replacing older systems with smaller, faster systems
- Improve application availability
Scale out
Oracle, with HP as its development partner, has helped customers worldwide to realize the cost-saving and scalability benefits of deploying clustered databases with Oracle9i RAC.
- Only clusters achieve highest availability levels, with no single points of failure
- Only HP clusters put all clustered systems to work for your database environment, with no idle standby systems
Use what you buy, all the time, for a productivity increase. And, as your environment requires more computing capacity, simply cluster a new HP system into your existing Oracle environment. Plus, you can manage clustered systems as easily as a single server to significantly reduce costs on maintenance and administration tasks.
