“Oracle Validates Oracle Parallel Server on SuSE, TurboLinux
and VA Linux; Announces Future Support for Oracle9i Real
Application Clusters on Linux.“
“Oracle, the largest provider of software for e-business, today
announced the industry’s first clustered database server on the
Linux operating system, Oracle8i Parallel Server. Customers will be
able to use the low-cost Linux operating system to deploy mission
critical, highly available business applications or large-scale
data warehouses. Targeted specifically at easing the pressure
e-businesses face in today’s “always on” Internet environment,
Oracle8i Parallel Server on Linux aims to eliminate costly
downtime, increase revenue opportunities and ultimately ensure
success for a new generation of Linux applications. Oracle also
announced future support for Oracle9i Real Application Clusters,
the next evolution of Oracle8i Parallel Server, on the Linux
platform.”
“To Linux, Oracle now brings its most mature and trusted
high-availability technology for clustered databases. With
sub-minute failover capability, Linux environments can achieve new
levels of application and data availability. And powered by the new
Cache Fusion Architecture, Oracle9i Real Application Clusters will
help deliver huge scalability improvements to the Linux platform by
providing transparent load balancing and the efficiencies of a
shared cache architecture.”
