Clusters are a key technology in meeting the increasing demand for highly available database solutions
March 2002
This newsletter provides customers with the latest information on Compaq's high availability solutions based on Tru64™ UNIX and TruCluster™ Server software. Included in this newsletter, the second in a series of four issues to be published, are the Gartner Research Note: "Compaq TruCluster Server UNIX-based Clustering Solution", Compaq white papers, and highlights of recent Tru64 UNIX announcements.
Compaq's Tru64 UNIX evolutionary reliability and availability architecture and design are a testament that Compaq is committed to continuing to solve your availability and performance needs by providing high availability leadership solutions based on TruCluster Server technology. No matter how reliable your single system, a clustered configuration can keep your business running uninterrupted. And TruCluster Server software enables higher service levels with maximum availability while reducing your management costs by managing all systems in the cluster as one single system. No other UNIX vendor can offer you this level of availability and ease of management at the same time.
In addition, building on Compaq's clustering leadership and our unique partnership with Oracle, Compaq is offering customers a highly available database environment in which the complexity normally associated with clustered solutions has been eliminated. These pre-bundled systems are easy to install and manage with pre-configured, tested AlphaServer systems. The recently announced Compaq Database Utility also offers Tru64 UNIX customers the capability to dynamically expand their Oracle9i Real Application Clusters database – increasing database performance and size, including disk space and number of systems, without taking the database offline.
To keep updated on the latest Compaq High Performance Systems news, I encourage you to access http://www.compaq.com/hps. Compaq with its partners continues to offer new high availability solutions and is the only vendor to offer a broad-based, money-back satisfaction guarantee through its AlphaServer Customer Assurance Program.
Sincerely,
Rich Marcello
Vice President and General Manager
