...but you need business continuity, high availability, scalability, combined with automatic management for your IT infrastructure and cloud deployments. Oracle Database with the Real Application Clusters (RAC) option is probably what you're looking for.
Originally focused on providing improved database services, Oracle RAC has evolved over the years and is now based on a comprehensive high availability (HA) stack that can be used as the foundation of a database cloud system as well as a shared infrastructure that can ensure high availability, scalability, flexibility and agility for any application in your data center.
Features in the Oracle 12c RAC option including Application Continuity and Oracle Flex ASM (plus noteworthy enhancements in the area of policy including managed database and cluster management, comprehensive database consolidation and Oracle Multitenant support) make Oracle RAC a compelling approach to database virtualization.
And there's a lot more to RAC implementations. This technical paper gives a quick overview of key enhancements in each layer of the Oracle RAC stack that contribute to an even higher level of application availability using an Oracle RAC database.
Find out how Oracle RAC delivers:
- Business Continuity and High Availability
- Scalability and Agility
- Cost-Effective Workload Management
- Standardized Deployment and System Management
Check it out, and if you'll be at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, OTN will be hosting a RAC ATTACK hands on lab session on Sunday from 9:00 am -2:00 pm at the OTN Lounge. Come meet the Ninjas and learn all about the Oracle RAC Stack.
