networking process with the industry's only end-to-end storage area network
(SAN) infrastructure, the QLogic partnership with Oracle brings unprecedented
solutions to centralized systems management for global IT environments.
QLogic produces the controller chips, host bus adapters (HBAs), network
switches and management software that work together to move data from
the storage device through the fabric to the server. With more than 15 years of
enterprise storage experience, QLogic delivers fast data access for the most
demanding business intelligence solutions.
The power of Oracle E-Business Suite and the scalable architecture of QLogic
Fibre Channel HBAs and switches offer unbeatable performance. In fact,
QLogic runs its own business using Oracle E-Business Suite. The QLogic
proven storage network architecture and the leading E-Business Suite from
Oracle team up to deliver high availability of hardware resources and mission-
critical enterprise data that you can count on.
"Using QLogic, we realized new levels of performance and scalability. Our test
engineers put the entire E-Business Suite with Oracle 9i RAC cluster database
and Oracle 9iAS clustered application servers through rigorous testing with QLog-
ic—and QLogic delivered on its promise to support data integration requirements,
moving all the right information at lightning speed."
