Oracle Releases Clusterware for Oracle Linux Support Customers

Continues Commitment to Enhancing Linux for the Enterprise

Mar. 27, 2008 01:30 PM

Oracle announced that Oracle Unbreakable Linux support customers at the Basic and Premier support levels can download and deploy Oracle Clusterware at no additional license fee or support cost.

Oracle Clusterware is portable cluster software that groups together individual servers so they can cooperate as a single system. A fundamental component of Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Clusterware can operate independently and helps ensure the protection of an application, Oracle or third-party.

Oracle Clusterware enables high availability, an essential component of business continuity, for applications and databases managed in the cluster environment--including Oracle Single Instance Databases, Oracle Application Servers, Oracle Enterprise Manager components, third party databases, and other applications.

Based on Oracle Clusterware as well as the Oracle Cluster File System Version 2, which Oracle contributed to the mainline Linux kernel in 2006, Oracle's cluster solutions for Linux can be utilized together or separately as required.

Since its inception just over a year ago, Oracle Unbreakable Linux has delivered end-to-end enterprise quality Linux support to more than 2,000 customers. By providing a single point of contact for the entire software infrastructure stack, along with Oracle's top-to-bottom software compatibility, Oracle Unbreakable Linux support helps Oracle deliver improved responsiveness, reduced system downtime and increased system reliability for customers.

"Based on Oracle's two decades of experience in cluster software, Oracle Clusterware for Oracle Unbreakable Linux is one of the first fully supported clustering solutions available for Linux," said Angelo Pruscino, vice president, Oracle Server Technologies, Oracle. "This announcement is yet another proof point highlighting Oracle's commitment to advancing Linux through technology enhancements and enterprise-quality Linux support--all of which make Linux more scalable, available, cost-effective and overall a better enterprise platform for our customers."
