Fujitsu has rolled out the FlexFrame for Oracle, an adaptive computing solution for virtualising and automating Oracle grid environments. Designed for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Database with Real Application Clusters, and based on the Grid Computing capabilities of Oracle Database 10g, FlexFrame for Oracle enables flexibility in deploying and maintaining mission-critical applications. The solution is designed for organisations running mission critical applications whose IT capacity regularly fluctuates due to temporary, resource-consuming business functions such as payroll or month-end closes, the company said.
"The virtualisation and automation of applications presents organisations with a tremendous opportunity to consolidate workloads, reduce operational costs, and adapt more quickly to changing customer requirements and industry demands, including governance and regulatory challenges," said Jean S. Bozman, vice president in IDC's Global Enterprise Solutions Group.
FlexFrame for Oracle allows Oracle Database 10g with Real Application Clusters and Oracle Fusion Middleware to run on any server upon demand. FlexFrame virtualises the system resources utilised by Oracle applications, middleware, and database. This abstraction enables higher resource utilisation and easier management of resources. Customers will realise improved TCO savings and will be able to respond with higher quality service to their end users, the company added.
According to the company, FlexFrame for Oracle is fully automated to ensure quality of service, dynamically shifting resources according to the business policies determined by the IT department. Constant monitoring of the infrastructure, service availability, and application performance ensures that deviations are immediately addressed, and actions taken according to pre-defined rules. An example is the automatic provision and restart of a failed or slow service on a free server or re-allocation of a low-priority service. Automation enables faster deployment and the ability to dynamically provision running applications with the resources they need to respond to changing workloads. New servers can be added easily and are immediately available to any Oracle service that requires the resources.
General availability of FlexFrame for Oracle is expected in early 2007.
