Go-to-Market Initiative: Grid Computing
|
Grid computing exploits virtualization techniques to pool, share and allocate infrastructure resources on demand, effectively decoupling applications and databases from static deployments on servers and storage. The resulting grid environment enables IT to respond rapidly to dynamic business changes while delivering higher quality of service at lower cost. Oracle grid computing technologies including: Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware Clustering, Automatic Storage Management and Enterprise Manager Grid Control enable customers to fully exploit low-cost, industry standard hardware and storage. Oracle VM is a related and complementary technology that enhances the benefits of deploying low-cost hardware by combining the ability to virtualize within as well as across x86 and x86-64-based servers. Together, Oracle's grid computing technologies and Oracle VM deliver a complete virtualization solution for the data center.
Members of Oracle PartnerNetwork can realize clear business and technical benefits and gain a competitive edge by adopting the Oracle platform for grid computing solutions and by joining the Grid Computing Initiative to leverage specialized tools and resources. |
