EMC And Oracle Deliver Breakthrough IT “Cloning” Technology To The Middle
East
|
|
Businesses Will Be Able To Outsmart And
Outperform Competitors
With Best Practice Developed By Storage And Software Giants
|
15 February 2003- Dubai, United Arab Emirates-
Companies in the Middle East will be able to “clone” critical business
applications for testing, back-up, hardware migrations and recovery purposes,
following the launch of a certified joint best practice by EMC Corporation and
Oracle, it was announced today. This innovation will enable businesses to create
exact duplicates of business information, while the original application
continues to run online.
Industry experts have hailed this joint initiative as a breakthrough for
companies that use enterprise-wide applications. Currently, IT managers have to
copy data manually, which can be time-consuming and can result in inaccurate
information and costly mistakes. The certified joint best practice automates and
improves the process, enabling IT managers to use cloned data in upgrading or
decision support projects while the original production systems remain online.

“As EMC’s
customers in the Middle East work toward leveraging a single view of all
of their data and reducing costs, automation is vital – this is the
foundation of EMC’s AutoIS strategy. EMC and Oracle are working closely
together to successfully automate a tedious, error-prone process for
customers in the region,” said Qais Gharaibeh, EMC Middle East’s regional
partner sales manager.
He added, “In simple terms, this means
our joint customer base in the region will be able to accomplish more with
their applications and find them easier to manage. |
As more companies in the Middle
East migrate onto single, integrated enterprise applications, this best practice
approach will provide IT managers with a critical business tool.”
Through collaborative engineering and testing within Oracle’s development
laboratories, EMC and Oracle successfully overcame many of the labor and
business disruption challenges inherent in the process of application cloning.
“The combination of Oracle and EMC technologies helps customers outsmart, outrun
and outperform their competition,” commented Ayman Abouseif, marketing director,
Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, Oracle Corp. “Together,
Oracle and EMC have developed a comprehensive solution that fully automates the
cloning process and delivers a host of business benefits to companies here.”
The cloning technique works by utilizing the unique features of EMC TimeFinder,
which creates multiple copies of data within a single storage system, and the
flexibility of Oracle AutoConfig, which simplifies configuring the application
environment. This new approach is much more effective that simply copying
databases, because the application clones it creates contain information from
both databases and applications, and so are much easier to use offline. As a
result, IT managers can make changes to the system with minimal impact on
operational efficiency or network resources.
In the Middle East, EMC and Oracle share a diverse range of enterprise customers
across sectors such as government, oil and gas, telecommunications,
manufacturing, and aviation.
Globally, EMC and Oracle have over 25,000 mutual installations, providing
solutions for 90 of the Fortune 100 businesses. The two companies have worked
together since 1995, most recently announcing the opening of the Oracle and EMC
Joint Service Center to deliver customized support for their shared customers as
part of a new focus on advanced joint services offerings.
