By certifying Oracle8i for UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters, SCO, Oracle and Compaq are helping deliver optimum fail-over and maximum availability for a wide
variety of business critical applications. Designed to run on Compaq ProLiant servers, UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters is ideal for eBusiness by reducing downtime
and easily scaling to give businesses the added horsepower to take advantage of 24x7 eBusiness computing.
``The market for clustered systems is growing rapidly,'' said Jerry Robertson, vice president, Compaq Division, Oracle Corp. ``The combination of Oracle8i, SCO's
UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters and Compaq ProLiant Servers is a unique configuration that provides strong failover and continuous computing capabilities. This
announcement provides another clear indication of the timeliness of Oracle's groundbreaking E-Business Continuity program (www.oracle.com/continuity).''
``Today, virtually every business is an eBusiness,'' said David McCrabb, President of SCO's Server Division. ``That means every minute of system downtime means
lost revenue and that's unacceptable. UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters on ProLiant servers deliver the availability that's required for eBusiness. Now with one of the
industry's leading databases -- Oracle8i -- optimized for this platform, businesses get enhanced performance, scalability and fail-over never before possible on
standard, high-volume systems.''
``We are seeing increasing demand for our clustering hardware,'' said Mary McDowell, vice president of the Industry Standard Server Group at Compaq Computer
Corporation. ``UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters provides the layer needed for non-stop service and high transaction throughput that are essential for success and
profitability. Oracle's certification means even greater confidence and data integrity for our mutual customers.''
Certify for Maximum Results
