The program ABOVE, (Accelerated Business Offering with
Value-added Enhancements) is a joint undertaking of Oracle and Intel proposing
that Oracle ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) in Latin America promote the
adoption of Oracle Grid technologies, with Intel architecture based
servers.
Oracle and Intel seek to give support
to certified ISVs, awarding them a certification of attendance to the ABOVE
Tested program, for tested solutions.
"The execution of a GXportal
application generated with GeneXus 9.0 was successfully validated on the Cluster
of Application server, applications high availability and load balancing
features were tested against the Database Cluster", commented Jorge Taboada,
Product Technology Services (PTS) for the Southern Region of Latin America -
Oracle Corporation.
The quick, wide-scale implementation of Oracle
databank grid features in Intel architecture based servers enables ISVs to offer
scalable, failure tolerant, low cost solutions. This offer considerably
increases the range of potential customers with higher technological and
business demands.
The certification was performed in the GRID LAB
environment, the Center of Demos and Testing of grid technologies introduced by
Oracle in its 10g Database with HP Servers of the Integrity line (with 64 bit
Intel Itanium processors) and HP storage systems.
GRID LAB was introduced in the framework of the 15th International GeneXus Meeting in Montevideo, and it is an initiative of
ARTech, HP, Oracle, and Tilsor, supported by Zonamerica. The lab is available
for the use of business partners and customers and offers the possibility of
conducting applications tests, migrations and certifications on a cutting-edge
platform.
