Presentation: Oracle Applications, RAC and Linux – “The Real Story from Zensar"
Speaker(s): Toby Smith, Zensar/Intelligium

You’ve heard that Linux is cheap? You’ve heard that combining Linux with Oracle’s Real Application Clusters (RAC) technology provides you with a high performance, high availability solution, but for a lower TCO than your existing traditional Unix platform? Can this be true? Is it possible to achieve a move from Unix to Linux whilst at the same time performing one of the largest European upgrades from 11.0.3 to 11.5.9?

We will cover the drivers behind the “Linux Story”, how this related to our customer’s planned use of Oracle Applications and what the vision became for the architecture of Oracle Applications on a high-availability Linux platform.

We shall outline how the Customer and Zensar Technologies partnership evolved into a global team managing the entire delivery, testing and support phases of this project and how Zensar Technologies have leveraged their Linux and Oracle Applications expertise to deliver a first class solution to meet their customer’s challenging requirements.

No Oracle Applications presentation is complete without its share of “war stories” to curl your toes, and you won’t be disappointed with the lessons you can learn for your own projects!
