FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oracle-Certified Linux Cluster Delivers Always-On Database
Linux NetworX Unveils Eclipse(tm) Database Cluster
SALT LAKE CITY, May 28, 2002 - Linux NetworX announced today the launch of
the Linux NetworX Eclipse(tm) Database Cluster - a high-availability cluster
based on the Oracle9i(tm) Real Application Cluster architecture. This
ready-to-run system offers scalability, reliability and high availability for
demanding data warehousing, online transaction processing, and data
management applications. The Eclipse Database Cluster is integrated with
Oracle9i Database to provide a continuous, high performance solution for
organizations that can't risk downtime.
The Eclipse(tm) Database Cluster completed Oracle certification testing and
can be deployed for database applications that require scalability on demand,
manageability and high availability at a low total cost of ownership. It's
ideal for data centers, large enterprises or any existing Oracle site looking
to increase its database capacity and reliability. With the clustering
expertise and ICE(tm) (Integrated Cluster Environment) management tools from
Linux NetworX, customers are ensured with a reliable, easy-to-manage cluster
for the database infrastructure.
The shared-everything architecture of the Eclipse Database Cluster is highly
fault resistant. If any hardware or software component fails, application
processes are efficiently re-routed with no loss of data or application
context. The database cluster is comprised of industry-leading components
including multiple Intel Xeon processors, ultra-reliable Dot Hill storage
components, and high-speed gigabit fibre channel interconnects.
The Eclipse Database Cluster is integrated with Linux NetworX ICE(tm) cluster
management tools to provide remote power control, temperature sensing, and
real-time monitoring of critical system functions allowing IT managers to
preempt, accurately diagnose, and quickly respond to any component failure
before it affects system availability.
"The Eclipse Database Cluster is fully certified to work with Oracle, helping
ensure unstoppable power," said Kevin Rose, Oracle product manager at Linux
NetworX. "Oracle customers will appreciate this turnkey solution that
seamlessly implements Oracle9i RAC and Linux NetworX database management
tools."
The Linux NetworX Eclipse Database Cluster is available immediately and
pricing starts at $126,000 for a 2-node system with 360 GB of storage, plus
applicable Oracle license fee. For more information, visit:
