Logicworks Announces Managed Oracle 10g For Linux
Logicworks, a provider of full-service managed hosting solutions, announced
the availability of Managed Oracle 10g for Linux as part of its managed
database hosting services. Managed Oracle 10g has a range of new features
including automated storage and memory management, automated tuning and an
improved management interface. The new offering, combined with Logicworks'
24-7 maintenance and support, dramatically reduces the administrative costs
and scalability concerns for managing, migrating or upgrading to an Oracle 10g
database platform.
Logicworks' suite of managed services assumes full responsibility for the
technology, resources, processes and expertise of server-management, resulting
in a reliable, cost-effective and secure Internet operating platform and
infrastructure. Logicworks maintains the hardware and operating system, and
works with clients in designing high-availability infrastructures designed
specifically around their databases and applications.
"Oracle 10g for Linux delivers on the promise of enterprise-level performance
and availability on commodity hardware and external storage devices," said
Carter Burden, president of Logicworks. "Our customers can easily tap into the
full power of Oracle 10g and Grid computing without incurring any capital
expenditures."
Advanced Functionality
Logicworks' Managed Oracle 10g provides carrier-grade hosting facilities,
scalable high-availability solutions, migration support, and ongoing
application maintenance such as patching, upgrades, optimization and recovery
services.
Customers can now easily take advantage of many advanced features, including:
- Integrated Cluster Management -- Combines cluster environments into a
single, integrated system image for a increased system monitoring. Pinpoint
management results in immediate rectification of problems, ensuring zero
downtime and a secure environment.
- Automated Storage Management -- Optimizes distribution of data across
multiple disk drives and dramatically reduces system and database
administration costs.
- Enterprise Configuration Management -- Allows administrators to create and
enforce server policies, and distribute patches directly within an Oracle
environment.
Managed database hosting enables clients' IT and DBA staff to take charge of
the data and applications, without having to worry about uptime, availability
or heavy capital expenditures. Clients benefit from physical redundancies on
all levels, and bring to bear a whole suite of Logicworks' services, including
managed security, data backup and restoration services, to fully secure any
hosted application.
