VOLTAIRE TO PROVIDE SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS WITH 10g GRIDS
Voltaire and Demantra announced that the companies are working together to
provide advanced enterprise planning solutions based on the Demantra Spectrum
Suite and Voltaire InfiniBand-powered Oracle Database 10g Grids. The joint
Grid computing solution enables retail and consumer products customers to
analyze and respond to market data collected at point-of-sale at greater
speeds and at a lower total cost of ownership than ever before.
The Grid solution is based on the Demantra Spectrum Suite, which is used by
leaders in the food service and manufacturing industries including, Dunkin'
Donuts, Wendy's International, Welch's and Unilever, and on Voltaire's high
performance InfiniBand solutions, which are used by advanced computing
facilities and enterprise data centers to provide high speed connectivity for
server Grids. Leveraging the high speed networking and clustering capabilities
of Oracle Database 10g, the solution unites pools of low cost servers, storage
and networks into one large system that dynamically allocates resources to
address changing computing needs such as raw data collection and processing,
and in-depth analysis and reporting. The combination of Demantra's Distributed
Processing Agent technology, Voltaire InfiniBand and Oracle 10g delivers
high-end analytical and data processing scalability critical to advanced
marketing and supply chain solutions, specifically for retail, quick serve
restaurants and high-end manufacturing.
"Fortune 1000 companies that are moving towards Oracle database Grid solutions
as a cost-effective, scalable means to power our planning applications can now
gain an even greater competitive advantage by leveraging InfiniBand and Oracle
to supply the raw data processing power to match the analytical processing
power of our clustered analytical engines," said Bart Feldman, CTO of
Demantra. "Voltaire's InfiniBand solutions also enable a flexible computing
infrastructure that provides the optimal utilization and cost savings our
customers require to analyze huge volumes of real-time demand and promotions
data."
"This solution is a tangible way for retailers and manufacturers to realize
the power of Grid computing," said Arun Jain, vice president of marketing at
Voltaire. "Instead of being constrained by expensive, large SMP severs,
organizations now have all of the available tools to scale out and experience
the flexibility of InfiniBand Grids."
