Oracle RAC delivers the most innovative and reliable solution in the industry
Forrester Research interviewed customers using Real Application Clusters (RAC) to produce their report
"Oracle RAC Gains Momentum." In the report, Forrester
describes how most customers affirmed that RAC meets or exceeds their high-availability requirements to support mission-critical database applications.
Forrester notes that although most enterprise database management systems (DBMS) products support high-availability and scalability features, Oracle RAC
delivers the most innovative and superior solution in the industry. It supports all kinds of applications, such as data warehouses, OLTP, or mixed environments.
According to the Forrester report, RAC has shown significant adoption in the industry mainly due to:
- The reliability of the RAC solution—RAC has matured over time, delivering high reliability and stability in a high-availability solution
- The simplicity to manage a large number of nodes—With Oracle Database 10g, RAC offers a higher degree of automation in managing the cluster and simplified administration using Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10g
- The clustering of low-cost commodity servers—Using RAC that runs on low-cost servers, customers claim to have saved 40% or more over large expensive symmetric multiprocessing servers
The report includes up-to-date case studies and recommendations for deploying a RAC solution. Forrester's conclusion: RAC should be part of your Oracle DBMS strategy.
