Deployment of the HP InfiniBand solution for Oracle RAC
Due to their cluster architecture, Oracle RAC systems can be difficult to configure and deploy, and
assembling a fully supported software/hardware stack can be challenging. To simplify deployment of
Oracle RAC systems, HP offers the Parallel Database Cluster Kit for Oracle RAC on Linux (PDC for
Linux). The HP PDC for Linux simplifies the deployment of Oracle RAC environments by providing a
set of utilities that assist in the manual deployment, as well as a fixed price service where HP service
personnel deploy the environment for the customer. Customers seeking to deploy the HP InfiniBand
Solution for Oracle RAC can leverage the HP PDC for Linux to simplify the deployment of the solution.
