EMC, Dell Support Oracle

SAN FRANCISCO -- Dell and EMC today announced expanded support for the Oracle Optimized Warehouse Initiative with a new solution designed to make it easier for companies to implement cost-effective, high-performing, scalable data warehousing. The Oracle Optimized Warehouse for Dell and EMC is built on Dell’s next generation of PowerEdge™ rack-optimized servers and the new EMC® CLARiiON® CX4, the latest generation of the CLARiiON family of networked storage systems. The CLARiiON CX4, which includes virtual provisioning, flash storage, advanced connectivity and other capabilities, is offered by Dell under the Dell|EMC brand.

This new pre-configured, validated Oracle Optimized Warehouse for Dell and EMC adds to the one terabyte solution released last year and greatly enhances the number of terabytes supported. Available through Dell, the Oracle Optimized Warehouse for Dell and EMC brings together Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Oracle Partitioning with Dell’s PowerEdge R900 with four quad-core Intel® Xeon® 7400 series processors and the Dell|EMC CX4-960 storage array that includes virtual provisioning and support for 8-10 terabytes of data.

“At Dell, our mission is to remove complexity for our customers and Simplify IT,” said Rick Becker, vice president of Software and Solutions, Dell Product Group. “Working with Oracle and EMC, we can help simplify implementation of a sophisticated data warehouse solution which our customers can scale with their business.”
