"We've worked closely with EMC to design a solution that helps our mutual customers quickly take advantage of the benefits of NAS to maximize their storage utilization, effectively back up their information, and manage their Oracle environment," says Oracle Consulting Vice President of Technology, Strategy, and Architecture Paul Cross.

Oracle and HP Fast-Track Partnering in Southeast Asia
Oracle and Hewlett-Packard (HP) have joined forces to give local ISV partners a competitive edge in Southeast Asia. The companies have launched a regional network of competency and development centers called Partners Innovative Technology and Solution Centres (PITSTOP). Together, Oracle and HP have committed US$10 million in products and services over the next three years in the region in order to fast-track the development of strong regional ecosystems made up of local ISVs and SIs within the communications industry. HP and Oracle expect this network and its programs to generate as much as US$100 million in revenues for their partners over the next five years.
At the five PITSTOP locations in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, local ISVs and SIs can strengthen their technology capabilities, develop applications, showcase solutions, and access overseas markets.

Latin America
The Venezuelan Health Care Institute, which wanted to improve service levels while decreasing inefficiencies, chose Oracle for its robust products and support and its partnership with Integris Consulting, a company that has wide experience with similar projects. The results include significant improvements in efficiencies and savings, plus the ability to provide additional channels through which citizens can access information and communicate and interact with the institute.
Asia/Pacific
En-Tranz Entertainment, of Hong Kong, operates as a service provider for massively multiplayer online gaming—games that hundreds of thousands of players in different locations play online simultaneously. The company built a high-performance billing platform for charging customers who use its online game systems, based on Oracle Database with Real Application Clusters and a billing application developed by Shanghai-based Oracle partner TTC InfoAge International. The solution delivers a fast, robust, high-availability billing system for online gaming, and has boosted revenue through a wide variety of payment options.
Europe
Every student at the University of Manchester has e-mail and internet access. Following rapid growth in student and staff numbers, the university decided to replace its Pegasus and Novell Netware-based e-mail system. Fujitsu Siemens recommended Oracle Collaboration Suite, and the university chose Oracle in an evaluation of several products, including Microsoft Exchange 2000. After deployment, internal support costs fell 50 percent, the number of e-mail servers decreased from 60 to 6, and availability increased to 99.999 percent.
Americas
Wireless tablet PCs and a physician portal have replaced the stacks of patient charts and test results physicians at Akron General in Akron, Ohio, once carried as they made their rounds. Now the new physician portal built on Oracle with help from AdvizeX allows physicians to access Web-based patient information anywhere, anytime. When physicians make their rounds, they have instant access to critical information such as test results, medical records, insurance information, transcriptions, and e-mail.
