Oracle Cloud Computing Center

Cloud Computing Center

Oracle has played a pioneering role in making Grid Computing relevant to enterprises with ground breaking products such as Oracle Real Applications Clusters (RAC), Automatic Storage Management (ASM), and Storage Grid. More recently, Oracle has brought Grid Computing to middleware with the Application Grid approach to infrastructure. These products/technologies make the enterprise IT infrastructure elastic so that it can grow incrementally without any theoretical upper limit, as well as provide the flexibility to move resources around in order to meet dynamic business priorities.

In September 2008, Oracle introduced new offerings that allow enterprises to benefit from the developments taking place in the area of Cloud Computing. Oracle has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer the following products and services:

•

Deploy Oracle Software in the Cloud

•

Backup Oracle Database in the Cloud

These offerings may be extended to other Cloud platforms in the future.
