Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. -- Dynamic Reassignment of Capacity Using MetaCluster UC Proves that n-tier Business Critical Application Instances Can Now Be Moved Automatically and Transparently from Server to Server Meiosys, a provider of checkpoint/restart, application virtualization A smaller umbrella term within the larger umbrella term of "virtualization." It refers to several techniques that make running applications more protected, more flexible or easier to manage. See virtualization, network virtualization and storage virtualization. , and machine-to-machine stateful application relocation middleware for enterprise data centers, today announced the successful stateful relocation of a three-tier Oracle database application stack The set of applications typically required by an organization. A typical "enterprise" application stack would include the basic office functions (word processing, spreadsheet, database, etc.), as well as a Web browser and e-mail and instant messaging programs. from one server to another without service interruption. This capability is now available in Meiosys' MetaCluster UC 3.0 product, through its beta program with its preferred partners and customers. The three-tier stack comprised an Oracle database server running on a SunOne Application Server running a Web based Coming from a Web server. See Web application. retail transaction application. Meiosys' multi-tier application See multitier application. relocation, using standard off-the-shelf application components, is significant because it demonstrates that fine-grained application virtualization technology can now be deployed in production to optimize application and service resources to maintain quality of service while providing affordable predictive failover capabilities. "Our customers and industry partners have long waited for improved flexibility and resources optimization of Oracle based applications," said Jason Donahue, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Meiosys. "Stateful application relocation, using application virtualization container technology, is the end goal, and that is what we have achieved today." "The Oracle relocation was done using our MetaCluster UC 3.0 product, which lets you relocate any tier of an application from one system to another without interrupting the service or dropping connections," explained Marc Rougier, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. at Meiosys. Rougier continued, "Under heavy load (4 http-perf four-way clients; 5000 connections, 100 simultaneous transactions), MetaCluster stateful relocation takes only seconds, while preserving all in-flight transactions with clients. Since we preserve the state and context of the applications, startup time on the new server node is minimal. Both we and our partners are extremely excited about the performance results we are now achieving for stateful application relocation of off-the-shelf applications such as Oracle and Sun Application Server." Platform vendors and software companies can now incorporate MetaCluster UC into their data center solutions to let customers move live, business-critical applications to whatever infrastructure is best suited from a resource optimization and quality of service standpoint.
