Implementation Study: Dell IT Scales Supply Chain Management with Oracle 10g RAC
By Dave Jaffe and Todd Muirhead, Dell Enterprise Technology Center, and Tiong Tey and Raveendra Avutu, Dell Information Technology
In 2005, Dell's Information Technology group was faced with a supply chain management system that had reached its limits on expensive, proprietary servers running the Unix operating system. The group undertook the complete migration of the system to Oracle 10g Real Application Clusters running on low-cost industry standards-based Dell Power Edge servers. By moving the application to Dell servers when it did, Dell IT avoided significant new expenditures in proprietary Unix-based servers, achieved increased server uptime, and provided an easy path for growing the systems as needed by adding additional servers to the cluster. This paper documents in detail the scope of the supply chain management system, and the advantages of migrating it from Unix-based servers to Dell PowerEdge servers.
