EMC, Oracle and QLogic Deliver First Integrated SAN Solution for the Oracle8i Appliance
Functionality and Support for EMC Enterprise Storage and QLogic Adapters Included in the Oracle8i Appliance
HOPKINTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2000-- Customers deploying ever-expanding Internet databases on the Oracle8i Appliance can ensure their online information is always available and capable of scaling with their business through new integrated storage area network capabilities. Support and drivers for EMC Corporation's Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems, along with QLogic Corporation's host bus adapters, are now available in the Oracle8i Appliance, enabling customers to quickly and efficiently deploy and manage the world's leading storage networking solutions with their Internet server platforms.
The Oracle8i Appliance, based on Oracle8i, the leading database for e-business, is a rapidly deployable, pre-configured and self-administrating database running on Intel architecture servers. The Oracle8i Appliance contains only the functions necessary to run an Oracle database, reducing complexity and increasing performance. Through the integrated EMC drivers, Oracle8i Appliance users can simply ``plug and play'' EMC Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems and Connectrix Enterprise Storage Network systems for their information storage, management and protection needs.
Michael S. Rocha, Senior Vice President of Oracle's Platform Technologies Division, said, ``The Oracle8i Appliance, by design, is about ease of use and the ability to quickly deploy and network servers for Internet applications in an exceptionally scalable and reliable environment. Integrating functionality from EMC and QLogic into the Oracle8i Appliance will provide our customers with an equally scalable, reliable, secure and easy to use off-host storage and management option as they build their e-businesses.''
Roy Sanford, EMC's Vice President of Enterprise Alliances, added, ``For e-businesses, information availability determines whether they stay in business, and scalability determines whether they can succeed. Through our engineering efforts with Oracle and QLogic to integrate connectivity between the world's leading storage systems, networks and software and the Oracle8i Appliance, we are ensuring that customers can do both.''
Frank Berry, Vice President of Marketing for QLogic Computer Systems Group, said, ``QLogic is providing the critical connection between two industry-leading innovators. By working closely with both Oracle and EMC engineers, we were able to design drivers that allow the QLA2200 Series Fibre Channel host adapter to efficiently manage data flow in the ground-breaking Oracle8i Appliance, which greatly simplifies implementation of Oracle8i for Internet providers and businesses of all sizes.''
About the Oracle8i Appliance
The Oracle8i Appliance integrates standard Intel-based SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) servers, a built-in operating system kernel and Oracle8i. The integrated software stack additionally includes Oracle Enterprise Manager Appliance Pack for centralized and remote administration of the Oracle8i Appliance; Oracle WebDB, a tool for developing and deploying Web-based applications; Oracle interMedia for storing multimedia data; and Oracle JServer, an integrated Java Virtual Machine.
