Information storage and retrieval lies at the heart of almost all core business solutions, from online portals to supply-chain management. It is therefore essential that IT organizations and solution providers keep pace with the rising volume and complexity of enterprise information. They must be able to scale their databases quickly, affordably, and without disruptive overhauls. Unfortunately, traditional database systems are not agile. To compensate, most system architects try to anticipate future needs, and deploy extra capacity accordingly.

This is an expensive strategy, and carries significant risk if business predictions are not accurate.

Oracle9i Real Application Clusters running on clustered Intel processor-based servers offer an alternative that is more scalable, available, and affordable—and that meets database performance requirements for the majority of enterprise needs. Using Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, businesses can deploy and manage clustered database servers almost as easily as a nonclustered implementation, scale them incrementally without service interruptions, and reduce their total costs by as much as 50 percent compared with typical RISC-based alternatives.
