Dell Consolidates European Support System With Oracle Enterprise Grid on Dell

Overview Founded in 1984, Dell rose quickly to market dominance by selling standards-based computer products and services directly to customers. To accommodate the region's fast growth, Dell had expanded the Eurostar European reporting server to run on four servers, each running a separate copy of the database. The distributed system required constant data replication to keep the data repositories in sync. But with system usage surging, updates to databases became harder to execute. The databases often fell out of sync, impacting data quality and consistency. In addition, poorly constructed queries could hang the system, causing outages. Dell's solution for Eurostar called for replacing the existing fragmented infrastructure with a consolidated system built around Oracle grid technology running Linux Red Hat Advanced Server.
