“It’s no secret our customers want to manage their costs while still
receiving the most innovative technologies and products,” said Steve
Rogers, Vice President, Capgemini North American Chief Architect. “With
the new grid features of Oracle Database 11g Release 2, customers can
cut their IT costs by consolidating their database applications on low-cost
servers and storage grids while achieving the database performance and
quality of service they need. Horizontal scaling with Oracle Real
Application Clusters and infrastructure sharing means Oracle Database
11g Release 2 is ready for the next era of shared data centers.”
“Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Active Data Guard is
designed to provide Oracle customers with the disaster protection they
mandate, but now they can actively make use of previously idle server and
storage resources for reporting, testing and backups,” said Jim Cook,
president of CSC’s Business Solutions and Services Group.

“Oracle Database 11g Release 2 features new capabilities that enable
Fujitsu to offer clients even greater business-intelligence capabilities and
tighter database-integration performance,” said Richard McCormack,
senior vice president of server and solutions business for Fujitsu America.
“Our alliance with Oracle is instrumental to the Fujitsu strategy for
extending its cloud computing vision and Oracle’s grid computing
globally.”
"Our customers demand more access to business information; and of
course they want it faster than before. Oracle Database 11g Release 2
with its enhanced query caching, parallelization and offloading of query
processing to HP Oracle Exadata Storage Servers provides the extreme
performance our customers require. HP and Oracle are well positioned to
help customers garner more business value out of their Oracle Database
investment," said Mike Crowsen, vice president, Oracle Corporate
Alliance, HP.
“Many of our customers run global businesses with 24 by 7 requirements,
so taking their IFS applications offline to perform maintenance causes
them serious inconvenience and even revenue loss,” said Dan Matthews,
Chief Technology Officer, IFS. “We have tested the new edition-based
redefinition capability that Oracle Database 11g Release 2 brings during
our participation in its beta program—and we are excited at the prospect
of deploying it to enable the online upgrade of IFS's applications. Our
customers will then be able to install updates to our applications' database
objects, including tables, while the applications remain open for normal
use.”
”We are excited with the capabilities in Oracle Database 11g Release 2, in
particular with the new grid features that enable a significant reduction in
deployment costs,” said Jay Caviness, Database Infrastructure Architect,
McKesson Provider Technologies. “With the Automatic Storage
Management Cluster File System, our customers will be able to effectively
manage the data growth anticipated from federal guidelines surrounding
clinical and hospital systems.”
“Our customers participate in rapidly changing and complex energy and
commodities businesses that require them to respond quickly and
efficiently. Our ability to deliver solutions that can be easily and cost
effectively scaled helps our customers handle the demand for real-time
response and compliance to increasingly tighter regulation,” said Rafey
Kazi, CIO, SunGard’s Energy and Commodities business. “The
capabilities of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 using Oracle Real
Application Clusters and Automatic Storage Management will help them
realize these benefits by consolidating database systems.”
