Artemis Management Systems, the world`s largest provider of enterprise project and resource management solutions today announced the validation of Artemis Web TrackView for the Oracle8i(tm) Appliance, the key component of a complete Internet infrastructure for small- to medium-sized business to deploy Oracle8i, the leading database for e-business. The Oracle8i Appliance is a rapidly deployable, pre-configured and self-administrating database server with an integrated operating system running on Intel-based servers. Artemis Web TrackView is the anytime, anywhere module that provides simple, convenient access to timesheet data via the Internet.
Artemis recognises that the Oracle8i Appliance is the fastest way for small- to mid-sized companies to get to e-business. By supporting the Oracle8i Appliance with validated products like Web TrackView, Artemis will help its customers to take full advantage of the premier out-of-the-box e-business platform and build their businesses around data rather than an operating system.
"Although the Oracle8i Appliance offers Artemis Web TrackView customers efficiency, price and performance advantages that we have not seen elsewhere, it does not require Artemis customers to have an in-house expert of operating systems or database operations," said John Baldwin, senior vice president of product operations at Artemis. "This is a tremendous benefit to our customers because it helps minimise the total cost of ownership. Our commitment to making Artemis products available for the Oracle8i Appliance will ensure that our applications are well-positioned to serve our customers` Web-based needs."
"In the small- to medium-sized business space, applications can determine the entire infrastructure choice," said Doug Kennedy, vice president, Intel Division, Oracle. "Validating solutions like Artemis Web TrackView helps ensure that our Oracle8i Appliance customers will have access to industry-leading Web-based applications."
Oracle8i Appliance
The Oracle8i Appliance integrates standard Intel SMP [Symmetric Multi-Processing] servers, a built-in OS kernel and Oracle8i Standard or Enterprise Edition. The integrated software stack additionally includes Oracle Enterprise Manager Appliance Pack for centralised and remote administration of the Oracle8i Appliance; Oracle WebDB, a tool for developing and deploying Web-based applications; Oracle interMedia for storing multimedia data; and Oracle JServer, an integrated Java Virtual Machine. The Oracle8i Appliance requires no onsite database administration support. With a fixed configuration, the Oracle8i Appliance includes built-in redundancy capabilities, automatic fixes and predictive analysis tools, including automatic paging, for remote administration.
