The AMD - Oracle Alliance

Oracle has long been at the forefront of enterprise solutions. As computing technology has advanced, Oracle has advanced with it, translating new hardware capabilities into real-world benefits for its customers.

With mutual support for Windows® and Linux platforms, AMD and Oracle provide enterprise flexibility in 32-bit and 64-bit computing.

"We are seeing an increased demand from our customers to run the Oracle Database on AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers, so the availability of the Oracle Database on Linux and the developer's release of Oracle Database 10g on Windows for AMD Opteron processor-based servers is great news for our customers," said Andrew Mendelsohn, senior vice president of Database Server Technologies, Oracle. "These servers are robust platforms for running both single server Oracle databases as well as highly available and scalable Oracle Real Application Clusters databases."

Unified solution, distributed architecture

Oracle's grid computing strategy offers powerful advantages to the evolving enterprise. Through symmetric clustering with Oracle Real Application Clusters, computing loads are distributed across servers to enable faster server responses and valuable failover security.

With its industry-leading performance and enterprise-class scalability, the AMD Opteron™ processor is optimized to power grid computing with Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g.
