Sun and Oracle Announce Database Packs
Offers Oracle Database 10g on Sun Fire x64 Servers

Sun and Oracle have announced Database Packs that offer pre-configured infrastructure solutions to help customers with rapid and successful deployments. These configurations are aimed at providing cost-effective, high performance and enterprise-level reliability at price points for the small- and medium-sized business.

These Database Packs jointly offered by Sun and Oracle consist of:

  • Sun FireTM V20z and Sun FireTM V40z servers: Sun's x64 servers powered by the AMD Opteron processor
  • Sun StorEdgeTM 3310 arrays for customers requiring enterprise-class storage flexibility and reliability in a workgroup-size package
  • Runs either the SolarisTM 10 Operating System (Solaris OS) or standard Linux distribution operating systems
  • Entry-level Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition One for small businesses
  • Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition for medium-sized businesses
  • Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition and Oracle Real Application Clusters for businesses that demand 24x7 application availability
