Oracle and HP slash weeks off data warehouse projects
Manufacturers wanting to speed up data warehouse implementations for serious business intelligence analytics can now get ‘out of the box’ configurations.
HP and Oracle have together developed so-called reference configurations using the Oracle Database 10g database on HP servers and storage.
These not only help users get the database, server and storage they need, but optimised for the job – for example, raw performance or price performance. HP and Oracle claim their approach will cut weeks specification and implementation times.
In brief detail, each configuration defines a matched set of servers and storage that balances I/O throughput across all components to ensure consistently good performance for complex queries running against large data warehouses.
Users get assistance with infrastructure decisions for the right combination of HP Integrity and ProLiant servers and HP StorageWorks disk arrays – from a single HP ProLiant server to scale-out server clusters running Linux and scale-up HP Integrity Superdome servers running HP-UX11i.
