The HP Parallel Database Clusters (PDC) for Windows and Linux provide the industry's leading platform
for deployment of Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters. The PDC is a multi-node (up to six in Microsoft
environments and up to four with Linux)) shared-storage clustering environment that enables industry
standard Windows and Linux platforms to deliver performance previously limited to very large SMP (16 to
32 processor) environments. Every server node in the cluster has concurrent read-write access to the
common shared database residing on the MSA1000 storage SAN. The multi-node architecture is
inherently highly available, loss of any single node results in some degradation of performance but the
database remains active and accessible. When optimally integrated with Oracle load balancing and
transparent application reconnect features, clients are completely insulated from the loss of a server
resource or an Oracle instance failure on a node. To complement the high availability of the server
cluster in a Windows environment, the Parallel Database Cluster integrates HP StorageWorks Secure
Path for fully redundant access to the database in the even of any failure in SAN connectivity. Secure Path
for Linux will be available at a later date. Combined, the Oracle clustering technology and HP platform
technology deliver cost effective and highly available enterprise solutions for database applications.

Storage Virtual Replicator combines a rich set of innovative capabilities that enhances and simplifies
storage management for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 environments. Through
virtualization, online volume growth, snapshot and management features, the software complements the
capabilities within the operating system. HP OpenView Storage Virtual Replicator enables simplification
of storage configuration, management, scalability and enhanced availability with e-mail notification for
event customization, enhanced pool deletion that enables deletion of pool or disk containing snapshots,
enhanced policy descriptions for easier identification.

Key Features Support for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003
Virtualization
VirtualizationVirtualization
Virtualization - multiple storage arrays can be consolidated into a pool of disk space for individual
or clustered systems to use. Multiple virtual disks, up to 2 terabyte in size, can be created from a
pool for users and their applications. Existing storage units with production data can be imported
into a pool. The data partition is preserved as a virtual disk and unused capacity is added to the
pool.
Online volume growth
Online volume growthOnline volume growth
Online volume growth - Enables easy, non-disruptive growth for Windows 2000 or and Windows
Server 2003 with zero downtime. Allows a system administrator to grow an existing volume on
virtual disks and Windows 2000 basic disk. The system will remain online, and the data on the
volume will remain intact.
Snapshots
SnapshotsSnapshots
Snapshots - Instant, point-in-time snapshots for backup, online restore, testing or data mining.
Enable instant creation of multipurpose virtual replicas of production data without the requirement
of a physical copy Snapshots identical to ordinary physical disks, with both read and write
capability. Snapshots can remain online for restore operations, testing, and data mining. Full
interoperability with the Windows Server 2003 Volume Shadow-copy Service (VSS).
E-mail notification
