Sun also announced that the Sun StorEdge N8400 and N8600 filers have successfully completed the Oracle Storage Compatibility Program (OSCP OSCP Online Certificate Status Protocol (digital certificates) OSCP Oil Spill Contingency Plan OSCP oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein OSCP Office of Science Coordination and Policy (EPA) ) NAS test suite for Oracle database environments. With OSCP qualification awarded in February to the Sun StorEdge N8200 filer, the entire filer series, has now been qualified for seamless integration with datacenters running Oracle databases. Sun's highly reliable filers are optimized for peak network file system performance. Hardware RAID 5 and built-in component redundancy help provide data protection and high uptime. In addition, support for NFS (Network File System) The file sharing protocol in a Unix network.
