Systems/Enterprise:
ORACLE SET TO PUT INDIA ON THE
GRID
Come December, Oracle India Private Limited (Oracle India) will launch the
Oracle 10g infrastructure software for Indian enterprises. Oracle 10g enables
organizations to implement utility computing, based on Grid computing
technology, which is being made commercially available to enterprises for the
first time, ever.
A press release said the Oracle 10g infrastructure software comprises,
Oracle
Database 10g, Oracle Application Server 10g, Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g and
Oracle Developer Suite 10g. Oracle 10g will allow Indian companies to optimize
usage of their IT infrastructure, thus increasing, tremendously, productivity
and return on IT investments.
Shekhar Dasgupta, managing director of Oracle India said, "Oracle 10g is
the
only infrastructure software available for enterprise Grid computing. The
advantage is the architecture, complete and integrated, unique to Oracle."
"Our India Development Center (IDC) has played a significant role in the
development of Oracle 10g. Teams from IDC worked hand in hand with their
counterparts in Oracle's global development centre at Redwood Shores to
develop the components of Oracle 10g infrastructure software," he added.
Existing customers of Oracle who are under the annual support contract for
earlier versions of Oracle software will be entitled to a free upgrade to
Oracle 10g. The price of Oracle 10g products will remain the same as the
Oracle 9i suite of products.
"Oracle Database 10g, which has automated storage management capability,
has
a
vast improvement in database manageability features and will helps us save
time and resources," G. M. Shenoy, senior vice president of NSE.IT Limited
said.
The Grid computing technology will allow Oracle India's customers to
provide
high quality of service at lowest cost by harnessing, as needed, the power of
the total computing capacity present in a cluster of computers so that any
available server can rapidly process and solve problems. It creates an
illusion to the user that all servers on the network are one large computer,
available to all users and applications.
Oracle Grids run real packaged applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite
and other ISV applications from vendors such as PeopleSoft and SAP. Because
enterprise Grid computing requires simplified storage management, transparent
server clustering and highly automated software, Oracle Grid Computing takes
customers and partners a giant step toward making utility computing, which is
like turning on a tap for water, a reality.
