CLARiiON Demonstrates Full Fibre Storage Solutions in Intel's Business Intellegence Showcase.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 1998-- CLARiiON Joins Dell, Intel, and Oracle to Display Oracle Software Running On Intel Architecture At Oracle OpenWorld Oracle OpenWorld is an annual Oracle event for business decision-makers, IT management, and line of business end users. It is held in major cities around the world. The 2007 event was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. `98 The CLARiiON Advanced Storage Division of Data General Corporation today announced at Oracle OpenWorld(TM) '98, that it has joined industry leaders Dell Computer Corporation (company) Dell Computer Corporation - One of the biggest US manufacturers of IBM PC compatibles. "From notebooks to networks", their slogan says. http://us.dell.com. , Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking , and Oracle Corporation to demonstrate the unprecedented flexibility, scalability, and performance of Oracle(R) software running on an Intel architecture-based systems. Intel's Business Intelligence showcase will feature almost a terabyte of enterprise-class CLARiiON high-availability Fibre Channel storage alongside many of today's most popular applications including data warehousing See data warehouse. data warehousing - data warehouse , OLAP (OnLine Analytical Processing) Decision support software that allows the user to quickly analyze information that has been summarized into multidimensional views and hierarchies. OLAP tools are used to perform trend analysis on sales and financial information. , data visualization See information visualization. , and data mining. CLARiiON Fibre Channel technology was chosen for this showcase because it offered the industry's leading full Fibre Channel storage solution, providing both high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. and scalability, in addition to significant enhancements in performance, device connectivity, and cabling distance. The CLARiiON FC5500 storage array increases processing power and storage capacity of enterprise-class applications, while also addressing the need for high-speed access to data and improved overall management of storage. One terabyte of storage is equal to one trillion characters - the equivalent of 500 million pages of text or approximately 40,000 four-drawer filing cabinets of information. "Intel Pentium(R) II Xeon(TM) processor-based servers, coupled with Oracle's 8.05(TM) and Express(R), enable mission-critical components of Business Intelligence solutions to be adapted to existing applications -- regardless of the operating environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. ," said Scott Richardson, director, Server Software Marketing, Enterprise Server Group, Intel Corporation. "Such environments require powerful, robust, and cost effective data storage subsystems, and CLARiiON full Fibre Channel disk arrays help provide the capacity and performance to support some of the largest, most I/O intensive workloads that corporations are processing today." "Data Warehousing has become a business-critical environment in that users require it to be scalable, easily manageable, and available at all times," said Mark Vargo, director of solutions marketing for CLARiiON. "In addition to the CLARiiON-pioneered attributes such as a modular design that allows the system to grow easily as users needs increase, and fully redundant subsystems for the greatest levels of data availability, CLARiiON also delivers Navisphere(TM), a cost-effective, robust suite of storage management software products that deliver enhanced application and data availability." Vargo added, "We were delighted to join this group of industry leaders for this impressive Business Intelligence Showcase demonstration."
