HP and Oracle launch pre-configured data warehouse | | 2008-06-25 | | HP in conjunction with Oracle have introduced an "all in one" data warehouse package, allowing customers to establish a data warehouse in hours rather than weeks.
The HP BladeSystem for Oracle Optimized Warehouse includes database blade servers and storage blades. The system provides the essential elements of a data warehouse infrastructure, including computing power, storage, interconnect, and management.
It is designed to ease configuration issues and provide one-stop hardware and software customer support and maintenance, and, the company claims, up to 2.5 times higher performance and up to 65 percent reduced energy costs. However the pre-packaged nature of the appliance means customers will have fewer customisation options.
The system comes in a c7000 enclosure with 16 blades: nine database server blades using Intel dual processors in a two-socket processors blade and seven storage blades with one Advanced Micro Design dual-core processor on each blade. Each chassis supports 1TB of storage up to a maximum of 4TB.
The product will be available in July through Avnet Technology Solutions and associates. The price is yet to be announced.
