Today’s business environment depends upon the reliability and accessibility of massive amounts of information. Many enterprises are deploying grid computing solutions to achieve fault tolerant, lower cost, and scalable environments that can also offer better protection and management of that information. Oracle’s flagship product, Oracle Database 10g, was launched in 2004 to meet this critical need. Designed for optimal performance on the 64-bit Intel Xeon™ processor, Oracle Database 10g supplies the ready information access and sheer computing power needed to make decisions based on real-time data. This database application, finely tuned by engineers from Intel and Oracle, delivers high levels of scalability and performance.

Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) enables servers based on Intel Xeon processors to run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications under 64-bit operating systems, as well as running 32-bit applications under 32-bit operating systems. That flexibility makes 64-bit Intel Xeon processor-based platforms ideal for use in a wide range of enterprise servers and high-end workstations.

The 64-bit capabilities of these platforms enable them to address up to one terabyte of physical memory, breaking through the ceiling of 64GB imposed by previous 32-bit-only platforms. This greater memory capacity is vital in allowing data-intensive systems such as Oracle Database 10g to hold large amounts of data in memory, vastly improving performance on enterprise-scale workloads.
