Storage:
EMC, Oracle Help Customers Manage
Inactive Database Records
EMC Corp and Oracle Corp unveiled a new joint solution to help Oracle
customers efficiently migrate inactive database records onto more
cost-effective storage systems to reduce costs, improve critical application
and database performance and to meet compliance regulations for historical
data.
The EMC Proven Solution, EMC DatabaseXtender Accelerator for Oracle
E-Business
Suite, combines joint services from EMC and Oracle with the new EMC software
to automatically identify and relocate dormant Oracle data from production
systems to lower cost online storage platforms. Service professionals from EMC
and Oracle will provide in- depth assessments and analysis of the status of a
customer's data to determine records to be archived. The two companies will
also customize an implementation of the DatabaseXtender software to archive
the appropriate data.
Once complete, the archived information remains online and accessible
through
the Oracle application. By extracting inactive data from the Oracle Database,
customers reduce overall costs and improve the performance and management of
their production database by preventing historical data from impeding active
mission-critical tasks.
"The value of Oracle Database information naturally changes over its
lifetime," said Don Swatik, EMC's vice president of global solutions. "Dormant
data sitting in a critical database can take up valuable cycles, backup time
and can become a management headache. Customers want to effectively manage
this information throughout its lifecycle and until now have had few choices.
This EMC Proven Solution allows customers to keep that older information
accessible for compliance or other reasons. Our combined services teams will
help customers identify that information and implement a solution that stores
it in a more cost-effective manner."
EMC DatabaseXtender Accelerator for Oracle E-Business Suite is the fourth
in
a
suite of offerings providing new and existing customers with a quick and easy
path to achieve the cost-efficiencies and compelling database performance
advantages of running their Oracle software with EMC Automated Networked
Storage solutions. Other solutions include: Oracle on EMC: Database
Accelerator, EMC Oracle 11i RapidClone Accelerator and Oracle Database with
EMC: Accelerator for NAS.
David O'Neill, vice president of Technology/Business Development Consulting
at
Oracle, said, "Close collaboration between EMC and Oracle is critical to
ensure that all underlying data relationships and links are properly
maintained during Oracle data archiving. By working together, Oracle and EMC
are helping customers improve production system performance while exploiting
cost effective options to store and manage data based on the access
requirements of the business."
EMC And Oracle
EMC and Oracle have over 25,000 mutual installations, providing solutions
for
90 of the Fortune 100 businesses. The two companies have had a strategic
alliance since 1995. In 2002, EMC and Oracle established a Joint Service
Center (JSC) staffed by service engineers from both companies to facilitate
faster problem resolution for their shared customers and serve as a dedicated
lab to duplicate customer environments for testing and benchmarks. Both
companies utilize each other's technologies in their own businesses.
