Overview
Today, Oracle On Demand uses x86-based servers running 32-bit Linux OS in its data center. These servers offer excellent value and performance. However, in order to address limitations in 32-bit architecture that may affect performance, scalability, and reliability in some cases, Oracle On Demand is now deploying 64-bit infrastructure to complement the existing 32-bit environment. This white paper describes some of the limitations faced by 32-bit servers and how AMD Opteron-based x86-64 servers running 64-bit Linux OS are being used to address them for the On Demand environment. This paper includes best practices from the 64-bit deployment within the Oracle On Demand data center.
In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
