The Oracle database family is designed for power and ease in development and deployment. All Oracle databases are compatible and available on many different platforms, so database applications can scale from handheld to laptop to desktop to enterprise without changing your applications.

eNSYNC can license, install, and tune your database to achieve optimum performance and reliability using standard off the shelf programs and utilities.

A revolution in database technology Oracle Database 10g is the first database designed for Enterprise Grid Computing. Oracle Database 10g cuts costs while providing the highest quality of service allowing IT to rapidly respond to the needs of the business while greatly lowering risk. Above all, it’s easy to deploy and manage.

Grid Control & Provisioning

Enterprise grid computing requires a high degree of management automation and
intelligence. It also requires the easy addition, configuration, and removal of users,
applications and computers. This process is called provisioning. Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Database 10g both feature rich self-management and provisioning capabilities that provide the levels of flexibility and control required by enterprise grids.

Storage Management

Enterprise grid computing will emerge as the most cost effective method of providing IT services because of the effective pooling of computing and storage resources. Pooled storage will greatly simplify system administration. Oracle Database 10g introduces Automatic Storage Management (ASM) to drastically simplify how administrators deal with database storage.

Workload Management & Reliability

Enterprise grid computing is designed to maintian constantly high service levels to user communities, regardless of the particular demands of individual applications. This requires that the design of the grid itself must guarantee protection from failures and the ability to move computing and storage capacity to areas of the grid as necessary. Oracle 10g can manage workloads for both database and application server clusters to meet the periodic changes in computing demands.

Grid Security & Identity Management

The pooling of IT resources in enterprise grid computing raises new demands on information security and privacy. Oracle has a long history as a leader in security technology, and is the only vendor that has both an end-to-end security model as well as the management interface that can make security efficient and effective in enterprise grid environments.

SUMMARY

Oracle Database 10g is the first database designed for Enterprise Grid Computing, enabling you the flexibility needed to implement Enterprise Grid Computing, even using low cost servers and disks.

The dramatically lowered management burden of Oracle Database 10g also helps to lower costs while providing highest quality of service. Oracle Database 10g provides the dual benefits of making IT more responsive to the changing business environment and lowering risks with lower costs, greater scalability and predictability and the highest levels of availability.
