斯图加特 -

Dell, Oracle and Red Hat will be presenting jointly developed Open Source solutions for corporate enterprises at LinuxWorld. The companies will be represented at a single stand (hall 6.1, stand D12) at the event, which is being held in Frankfurt from October 29th to 31st. One product of the cooperation between Dell, Oracle and Red Hat, which was announced last June, will be an Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster solution running on Dell PowerEdge servers under Red Hat's Linux Advanced Server 2.1 operating system. The system components have been specially selected by the partners for compatibility to provide optimum performance. The demonstration system will feature a mySAP application, thus offering a preview of a system which is due to be certified in the near future.
