HP Virtual Server Environment Reference Architecture for Oracle Database Real Application Clusters (RAC)

The HP Virtual Server Environment Reference Architecture described in this white paper demonstrates the powerful integration of Oracle 10g Real-Application Clusters (RAC) with HP VSE technologies such as HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) and HP Serviceguard Cluster File System for RAC. The architecture takes advantage of the Virtual Server Environment for the automatic migration of resources to meet workload needs and Oracle RAC to expand database services to additional servers to handle increasing demands. Together, these technologies create an application infrastructure that demonstrates dynamic scale-up, -out, and back as a powerful technique to share resources between workloads while meeting business requirements in real time.
