Dell and Oracle Help Customers Deploy Oracle Business Intelligence Applications(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 30 September 2014 Release date- 29092014 - San Francisco, California - Today at Oracle OpenWorld, Dell announced a series of new solutions across its enterprise infrastructure and software portfolios that can help customers simplify the deployment of Oracle-based solutions, from mid-sized customers to large scale enterprises. The new offerings further address customer demands for integrated solutions from the two companies. Today's CIOs are being tasked to enable their organizations to move faster without infrastructure downtime. This includes accelerating application performance and response times and providing high availability to businesses of all sizes - while often being budget constrained. As businesses continue to run more data-intensive applications, such as real-time analytics and transactional processing, low-latency access to data becomes even more critical. In fact, the Future Ready IT survey reports that 70 percent of IT decision-makers (ITDMs) have been negatively affected by performance issues when running applications requiring fast access to data. Dell continues to work with leading enterprise software companies to integrate Dell infrastructure and management capabilities with some of the most widely deployed applications in enterprises today to help customers quickly respond to their unique business needs. Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Business Analytics Dell today announced a purpose-built Integrated System designed specifically for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition to help customers achieve quicker business insights and agility. According to the Future Ready IT survey, as customers look for ways to optimize workloads, most are considering purchasing new appliances to help meet those needs. With the Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Business Analytics, customers from small businesses to large enterprises can quickly and cost effectively migrate to, and accelerate Oracle BI infrastructures to meet their data analytic needs today, and easily scale in the future. Data centers are evolving to offer more and more specialized workloads in order to deliver cost-efficient solutions that are easy for IT to manage and also easy for customers to utilize. The Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Business Analytics is a pre-integrated, flexible and easy-to-deploy solution that enables customers to quickly and cost-effectively implement for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. To ensure quick deployment, the solution can be deployed with the Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Database and Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases to rapidly deliver IT resources, maximize efficiency of IT, and strengthen IT service with resilient, replicable, and affordable platform optimization. The Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Business Analytics pre-bundles industry leading Dell PowerEdge infrastructure technology and provides customers significant performance gains and cost savings over similar pre-packaged appliance solutions available today. Businesses benefit from high performance in a cost effective design that reduces overall software license costs, while maintaining the ability to scale with ease. Moreover, if built on the Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Database or Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases the customer can access innovative flash storage technology from Fusion-io to significantly improve storage latency and throughput. Customers looking to deploy low-cost highly reliable Linux infrastructure can save time and money with the new Dell Integrated Systems built on Oracle Linux, with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel to get unique features for improved performance and manageability - all at a lower cost. Dell Storage Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager Dell is planning to offer customers the Dell Storage Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager for SC Series (Compellent) storage arrays. This new plug-in can provide Oracle Database administrators with visibility into their storage infrastructure with granular metrics to help identify storage bottlenecks and issues. Customers can also benefit from relationship information between database files, hosts, storage arrays, and storage volumes that provide timely information to troubleshoot Oracle storage environments quickly and effectively. The new Dell Storage SC Series plug-in will be available to early adopters this fall and all customers in early 2015. Dell will offer plug-in demonstrations and a sneak peek of the Dell Storage Application Protection Manager for Oracle databases at the Dell booth at Oracle OpenWorld.
