Bull today announced the renewal of its corporate agreement with Oracle to deliver end-to-end infrastructure, collaborative and e-business solutions for public sector, banking, finance, telecommunication and industry sectors.
In addition, Bull takes the opportunity of the OracleWorld industry show to demonstrate two key areas of focus and partnership with Oracle.
Bull, Oracle work together on unbreakable infrastructure
According to their renewed agreement, Bull and Oracle are partnering to deliver to their customers the most scalable and reliable solutions, combining Oracle9i, Oracle 10g or Oracle Collaboration Suite together with Bull NovaScale, its new generation of Intel Itanium 2-based servers.
In particular, the alliance between Bull NovaScale servers and Oracle 10g will set a new standard for unbreakable database servers that run the most demanding and critical applications. In addition, the NovaScale high-end servers allow significant optimisation of the operational cost of the IT infrastructure and provide a major improvement in the price/performance ratio.
Customers who are looking for high-end data warehouse solutions will benefit from the power of Oracle 10g and the NovaScale superior ability to manage large volumes of data.
Furthermore, Bull`s broad range of services for developing, integrating and deploying applications based on Oracle products, combined with its expertise in designing, tuning and optimising the underlying infrastructure will help customers meet their requirements in terms of cost-effectiveness, flexibility, easy to use and to manage.
"We are pleased to work with Bull to provide customers with innovative and open technologies. Our Intel and Linux strategy fits perfectly with Bull`s ability to deliver scalable, robust and optimised infrastructure solutions based on NovaScale, its new Intel Itanium 2 based range of servers. Our joint solutions will enable customers to reduce cost and optimise their ROI," declared Stein Surlien, vice-president of alliances and channels, Oracle Europe, Middle East and Africa.
"The value that Bull brings on top of Oracle solutions is linked to our intimacy with technology that enables us to design, implement and tune the global solution to the benefit of our customers," said Danielle Asheuer, executive vice-president, Group Marketing.
Bull exhibiting at OracleWorld
Bull, at booth number 2110, will highlight the value and attractiveness of NovaScale, its innovative new range of 64-bit open servers for the Oracle database and its expertise to implement the Oracle solutions in an optimised way.
Bull NovaScale, the Oracle server par excellence thanks to Bull`s innovative architecture and its Oracle Competence Centre.
On 21 March, Bull unveiled NovaScale, its new generation of high-end servers for business and scientific applications. Based on the Intel Itanium Processor Family and Bull`s FAME innovative architecture, the NovaScale servers simultaneously support Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Linux.
They associate the robustness of the mainframes with an exceptional price/performance ratio. Thanks to the use of Intel-standard building blocks, they significantly optimise the IT infrastructure operational costs. Bull cooperates with Oracle to provide database solutions to handle very large volume of data, meeting strong performance and robustness requirements. Its Oracle Competence Centers bring porting, performance optimisation and benchmark expertise on Linux and Windows.
"Bull`s strategy fits perfectly with Oracle`s aim to offer software solutions on Itanium 2, and particularly with Linux. This new offering will allow clients to significantly reduce their servers` cost-performance ratios while maintaining great flexibility," said Denis Thibaudin, director of partnerships, Oracle France at the NovaScale launch.
The demonstration will show the superior scalability of Bull NovaScale servers when running the Oracle database in a Linux environment. This demonstration is fully representative of a real transactional customer application.
Bull`s integration services help customers to design, implement, optimise and deploy Oracle solutions.
Bull`s integration services are a recognised system integrator for collaborative solutions, messaging and workflow as well as application servers.
Specialised in the integration of strategic enterprise applications, its experts provide know-how to design, customise, integrate and deploy Oracle solutions while sizing and optimising the IT infrastructure.
