Dow Jones Newswires
PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Hewlett-Packard Co., Cisco Systems Inc. and Oracle Corp. announced Tuesday they will collaborate to develop and produce H-P's "5nines:5minutes" plan to increase the uptime of applications.
Hewlett-Packard (HWP), which makes computing, Internet and intranet products, said the 5nines:5minutes vision calls for 99.999% annual end-to-end system availability, equating to five minutes of downtime a year.
The company said it will integrate technologies and products with Cisco Systems to create performance-modeling tools, automatic preventive-network technology and maintenance and change-control technologies.
Hewlett-Packard will collaborate with software-maker Oracle (ORCL) to provide uptime guarantees, technology that reduces database recovery time and self-tuning, self-healing databases.
