Paul and Intel investors, here's a pretty awesome recognition of Intel, its servers and their technical support personnel, from a company you might not immediately think of, Oracle:Introduction: Oracle and Intel Intel and Oracle working together? You bet. Oracle database and application products are growing faster on Intel Architecture-based platforms than any other. Think about it. Standard high-volume (SHV) servers based on Intel processors constitute a whopping 75 percent of the server market today. The Intel Architecture is where the action is, where the innovation is happening, where the market is going. It's a natural place for Oracle to be. With Intel extending its processor roadmap into higher-performance territory, it meets Oracle, bringing enterprise benefits in its market-leading database and applications to small business. Intel Architecture-based servers offer leading price/performance for Oracle software, not to mention outstanding reliability, availability, scalability, manageability, and breadth of platforms. The Oracle8i database, tools and applications running on Intel Pentium* III Xeon* based servers are the foundation for more and more mission-critical e-business solutions today. With Intel and Oracle working together, you'll be able to seamlessly deploy Oracle solutions throughout your organization, from the workgroup to the largest enterprise setting. Why Intel and Oracle are an unbeatable combination: Intel has on-site compiler, performance and architecture engineers working jointly with senior Oracle architects to help tune products to take advantage of the power and capabilities of Intel processors. Oracle has an entire development team devoted to developing products for the Intel© Architecture. Oracle and Intel are working together to optimize Oracle?s products on Intel Itanium* based servers, Intel?s first server based on IA-64â. Oracle software running on Itanium-based servers provide the building blocks for the Internet economy. Oracle and Intel also worked together to implement the Oracle Parallel Server on the VI Architecture standard. The resulting software/hardware interface provides reduced complexity and increased performance. In 1998, Oracle was one of the first independent software vendors to establish an Application Solution Center (ASC) for Intel Architecture (IA). The mission of the Oracle ASCs is to optimize the performance of Oracle-based solutions running on current and next generations of the IA platform. platforms.oracle.com Tenchusatsu helping develop the silicon that goes into these products, of course.
