HP DL980 & VMA =
Database performance that’s music to your ears

Perfect for Oracle applications and high performance database environments such as large e-commerce, HP DL980 ‘Giant’ ProLiant with VMA solid-state Memory Arrays changes the game for operational workloads, outcompeting much costlier competitors.

Looking for increased Oracle performance?

Featuring the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family, this HP solution offers scalability for both online transaction processing (OLTP) and business intelligence/ data warehouse (BI/DW) database applications. This solution is ideally suited to large e-commerce solutions coping with large demand spikes and high volume transactions. Scaling up provides more efficient capacity expansion for a variety of applications, without increasing complexity.

Scalability is not just about adding more hardware; it’s about enabling Oracle database solutions to take full advantage of added resources. Some Oracle applications running on 32-bit platforms may be reaching the limit of their architecture. This HP solution ensures organisations get a cost-effective and balanced high-availability solution that does not limit their unique infrastructure architecture requirements.

‘THE’ scale-up Linux solution

Always a critical part of the IT infrastructure, databases are driving demand for large SMP-type scalability in a Linux environment where complex workloads demand better response time and increased I/Os per second (IOPS).

Any database application that requires increased performance, including faster user response times, throughput, and IOPS, will see dramatic improvements when DL980 and VMA are applied. Specifically, the size and complexity of Oracle OLTP applications and data growth can benefit from the performance of a scale-up Linux architecture.

Organisations are now able to migrate complex solutions from costly proprietary platforms onto lower-cost Linux-based systems. At the same time they’re looking to consolidate applications onto fewer systems to simplify datacentre operations and reduce costs.
