EMC VPLEX Metro

The EMS corporation officially told in the summer of 2012 that, the technology of virtual storage EMC VPLEX METRO successfully underwent certification in a configuration of an extensible cluster. It considerably will simplify to customers process of a configuration of the Oracle RAC environment carried on distance up to 100 km. This technology allows to implement easily the active/active solution for ensuring the level of readiness of information, critical for business, irrespective of where it is stored.

Using EMC VPLEX METRO technology it is rather simple to create the Oracle RAC configuration at distance to 100 km with receiving simultaneous access to all data. It should be noted that the combination of a server cluster of Oracle RAC in the active/active configuration and storage systems of VPLEX METRO in the active/active configuration increases the level of availability of databases and performance of geographically distributed clusters in comparison with traditional clusters of Oracle RAC in a configuration of an extensible cluster. It should be noted especially that thanks to technology of synchronization a cache memory (cache coherency) of EMC VPLEX AccessAnywhere customers have advantage in the form of receiving a uniform picture of the shared, public or extended between local or geographically distributed clusters VPLEX of data.

Implementation of VPLEX METRO in the Oracle RAC environment provides to IT administrators an alternative to difficult traditional configurations from two platforms. The EMC VPLEX AccessAnywhere technology significantly simplifies all aspects of creation of geographically distributed clusters.
