Oracle Grid Computing

Grid computing enables groups of networked computers to be pooled and provisioned on demand to meet the changing needs of business. Instead of dedicated servers and storage for each application, grid computing enables multiple applications to share computing infrastructure, resulting in much greater flexibility, cost, power efficiency, performance, scalability and availability, all at the same time.

Scale out computing capacity on demand in smaller units, instead of buying oversized systems for peak periods or uncertain growth. Remove unneeded or failed machines without interruptions in service, saving cost and ensuring business continuity. Manage all your systems end-to-end with integrated and automated administration and monitoring.

Oracle offers the most complete and field-proven portfolio of industry leading grid computing solutions, from the Web tier all the way down to middleware, database, servers and storage.
