REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Sept. 27 -- Oracle today announced the Oracle Optimized Warehouse Initiative to help accelerate data warehouse deployments by offering a choice of optimized solutions that combine the performance, reliability and scalability of Oracle® Database with hardware and storage from industry leading manufacturers.

As part of this initiative, Dell, EMC and Oracle today introduced the initial Oracle Optimized Warehouse. (See today's related press release at: www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2007_sep/dell-emc-oracle-warehouse.html ). Available through Dell, the Oracle Optimized Warehouse for Dell and EMC is comprised of Dell PowerEdge servers, EMC CLARiiON networked storage systems and Oracle Database.

"As the data warehousing market continues to grow and mature, Oracle is evolving to meet the changing needs of our customers," said Ray Roccaforte, vice president of Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence Platform, Oracle. "With the Oracle Optimized Warehouse Initiative, customers no longer need to choose between proprietary data warehouse solutions and Oracle-based solutions custom built on leading hardware platforms. Oracle now delivers the advantages of its market-leading database within a simple-to-buy, pre-built product optimized for data warehousing out-of-the-box."

Latest Innovation Builds on Data Warehousing Industry Leadership

The Oracle Optimized Warehouse Initiative marks another milestone in Oracle's long-standing leadership in data warehousing. Built and sold in conjunction with leading hardware companies, an Oracle Optimized Warehouse features the enterprise-class data warehouse and business intelligence (BI) capabilities of the Oracle Database pre-installed on validated hardware configurations optimized for data warehousing. The Oracle Optimized Warehouse is an integrated, pre-built solution consisting of database, storage, and servers that has been validated and tested to deliver optimal performance, and is supported as a single product, with a single support contact.

The Oracle Optimized Warehouse is built upon Oracle Database and industry leading hardware components, which enables the utilization of existing IT resources and skills to quickly deploy and load high-performance data warehouses that can easily scale to support future demand. Since an Oracle Optimized Warehouse supports the full power of the market-leading Oracle Database, Oracle and third-party BI tools and applications are available for use with the product.

Oracle Optimized Warehouse solutions are suitable for data marts, enterprise data warehouses, and BI applications. Moreover, for customers who prefer the flexibility to choose and configure their own data warehouse platforms rather than purchasing pre-built solutions, this initiative also offers Oracle Optimized Warehouse Reference Configurations. These reference configurations help customers choose the most appropriate configuration to meet their scale, price and performance requirements, and simplify the design and implementation of high-performance data warehousing systems.
