Oracle10g Grid Computing

Chapter 17 -
Oracle’s Grid Integration Technologies
Exploring
Grid Technology
In 10g
database release, Oracle gives us many technology differentiators and
also grid technology enablers. Some of these are new additions and
some are enhancements. To name a few, data pump utilities is an
addition in 10g release and cross-platform transportable tablespace is
an enhancement. Automatic Storage management is another notable
addition in 10g release.
The Database
Processing is a key component in any Grid Framework. At the same time,
data movement, data loading and data sharing among the databases and
non-database computing areas, is a key pre-requisite for the Data Grid
implementation. The Oracle Storage Management is an important
component in dealing with resource provision. ASM makes the adjustment
of disk resources quite transparent.
Many of the
well-known and minor features of the Oracle database product are
enhanced with a view to participate actively in the Grid Architecture.
For example, the easier data transfers using data pump, oracle data
files transfers among different operating systems, quicker and easier
software installation, new replication and messaging methods using the
streams technology etc., are the new features Oracle has emphasized.
Grid Control
is well designed to manage besides the databases, the web
applications, the application servers and hosts of different operating
systems. Grid control provides a bird’s eye view of all resources for
easier management.
Oracle 10g
database has many new and innovative features to facilitate the
setting up of multiple databases in a clustered environment and
non-clustered grid environment. It has the advantage of leveraging the
underlying grid infrastructure components and manages them
efficiently. The grid components such as low cost servers or blades,
powerful interconnect and storage arrays are very well utilized by the
Oracle 10g database.
