Pillar Data Systems supports Oracle VM Server virtualisation environments

~ Pillar Axiom the storage platform of choice for Oracle and OracleVM environments ~

November 13, 2007

Pillar Data Systems has announced its support for OracleVM, the server virtualisation suite that Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) has introduced in a separate announcement.

Launched at Oracle OpenWorld, Oracle VM server virtualisation software supports both Oracle and non-Oracle applications. Oracle VM offers scalable, low-cost server virtualisation that is up to three times more efficient than existing products from other vendors. Key Oracle products including Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications are certified with Oracle VM.

A member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, Pillar already has published several validated configurations with Oracle’s Unbreakable Linux, and will extend that support to include Oracle VM. This allows improved storage resource utilisation, a highly available architecture and enhanced interoperability with Oracle Real Application Clusters. The powerful combination helps customers drive maximum storage efficiency in Oracle and non-Oracle environments.

Together, Oracle VM and Pillar’s virtualisation of tiered storage will provide a highly flexible, scalable, and efficient architecture for Oracle applications. The strength of the Pillar Axiom lies in its ability to separate and prioritise the performance requirements for Oracle Application Server or Oracle Database 11g running on each Oracle VM, and allow the system to expand storage capacity or performance in line with the user’s dynamic requirements.

Executive quote

“Pillar is uniquely positioned in the OracleVM market place, since our Axiom storage system was designed to easily handle multiple applications with multi-tenancy characteristics,” said Mike Workman, CEO and Chairman, Pillar Data Systems. “Companies looking to virtualise their Oracle 11g Database and Oracle Application server pools on a consolidated platform will be able to utilise Pillar’s unique Quality of Service functionality for tiered storage. This brings a dynamic and flexible platform to manage customer SLAs for Oracle Applications.”
