SilverStorm Technologies Announces Availability of Oracle 10g RAC Cluster Solution Powered by InfiniBand and RDS, and Validated through Intel ESAA.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- SilverStorm Technologies today announced that it is providing Oracle 10g See Oracle database. Real Application Clusters (RAC See remote access concentrator. ) certified solutions validated through Intel's Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (ESAA ESAA Environmental Services Association of Alberta (Canada) ESAA Enterprise Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel) ESAA English Schools' Athletic Association (UK) ) program and powered by SilverStorm's high performance InfiniBand and RAC-optimized Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS (1) (Remote Data Services) A set of programming interfaces from Microsoft that enables users to update data on the Internet or intranets from their ActiveX-enabled browser. ) protocol for selected Intel server platform and motherboard products. For the first time, server vendors from around the world which participate in the Intel ESAA program will have the opportunity to adopt and market SilverStorm's advanced interconnect offering for Oracle 10g, enabling the deployment of large scale, high performance, 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. Oracle database clusters. Co-developed by Oracle and SilverStorm, RDS over InfiniBand delivers a cost effective, highly scalable and available database solution. RDS provides a high bandwidth, low latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as , ultra reliable inter-process communication (IPC (1) (InterProcess Communication) The exchange of data between one program and another either within the same computer or over a network. It implies a protocol that guarantees a response to a request. ) protocol and transport system that dramatically speeds up IPC communication between servers in a RAC cluster. SilverStorm RDS has been rigorously tested and certified by Oracle to meet the stringent performance and availability requirements of Oracle's most demanding enterprise customers. In RDS beta testing (programming) beta testing - Testing a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected users. This term derives from early 1960s terminology for product cycle checkpoints, first used at IBM but later standard throughout the , Oracle customers like JDA Software Group achieved better than 60% performance improvement over Gigabit Ethernet using Intel servers and SilverStorm InfiniBand with RDS for their interconnect-intensive applications. "InfiniBand and RDS represent the new gold standard for Oracle 10g RAC interconnect performance and scalability," said Gunnar K. Gunnarsson, Oracle global alliance manager at SilverStorm. "SilverStorm is pleased to enable the impressive list of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and members of the Intel ESAA program to deliver the most powerful Oracle 10g RAC cluster solution available on the market today." "The marriage of Intel's latest server technology with SilverStorm's RDS solution for Oracle 10g RAC offers high-end Oracle users the ability to deploy large scale, high-performance, high-availability Oracle database clusters," said David L. Brown, Intel Marketing Manager. "This is another addition to the growing number of validated Intel Xeon[R] server-based clustering solutions Intel can offer its ESAA resellers through our ESAA program." When combining RDS with SilverStorm's multi-protocol InfiniBand solutions for Oracle Database 10g, data center architects can consolidate the RAC cluster interconnect with existing data center server communication networks and storage networks on to a single InfiniBand infrastructure, creating a simplified, higher performance network while dramatically reducing total cost of ownership. Intel servers combined with SilverStorm's family of InfiniBand products support Oracle's enterprise grid computing strategy by allowing customers to construct large, high performance cluster networks using low-cost, commodity server and storage resources that are allocated dynamically to meet application demand.
