Oracle Database Architectures
Oracle on Microsoft
Windows Platforms
Although not as easily measured as performance, reliability must be
considered when evaluating database architectures. In the beginning,
the majority of consumers rarely considered Windows NT to be a
viable alternative in this arena. Consumers’ faith in Windows
reliability is growing as the Windows operating system family
matures and new functionality is added by Microsoft, hardware
vendors, and third-party software solutions providers. Oracle offers
highly available solutions for Windows environments with its Oracle
Data Guard, Oracle Fail Safe and Oracle RAC for Windows product
sets.
Oracle on LINUX
Platforms
Running Oracle on LINUX/Intel platforms is
rapidly gaining in popularity. The Oracle Corporation is fostering
LINUX’s credibility as a mission-critical operating system by being
the first vendor to market both an enterprise relational database
and an enterprise application server for the operating system.
Oracle, Dell and Red Hat have formed a
partnership to to enhance the LINUX/Intel environment in the areas
of performance, reliability, clustering, and manageability. The
three partners are collaborating to develop and market
enterprise-ready LINUX solutions based on Dell PowerEdge Servers,
Dell/EMC and PowerVault storage systems, Oracle Database Release 2
with Real Application Clusters, and Red Hat LINUX Advanced Server.
Oracle also provides direct support for the Red
Hat LINUX Advanced Server operating system. Oracle customers who use
the Red Hat LINUX Advanced Server operating system will be able to
call Oracle support for both LINUX and Oracle issues.
