A new pragmatism evident in today`s business climate has executives focusing their technology spending with vendors that can help them achieve the biggest and fastest return on their investment. In a keynote address at OracleWorld in San Francisco, California, EMC Executive Chairman Mike Ruettgers will discuss how leading organisations are networking their information infrastructure to optimise the management, movement, protection and sharing of their information and to prepare for new applications that will trigger a new wave of demand for information.
EMC, the leading storage provider for Oracle environments, is showcasing its Automated Networked Storage technology at this major industry event and is highlighting ways customers can deploy EMC storage systems, software, networks and services with increasing levels of automation for improved effectiveness, efficiency and better management of their Oracle environments. The compelling operational and business advantages of EMC Automated Networked Storage meet today`s requirements for rapid return on investment and also prepare organisations for the next wave of new applications.
"IT managers are faced with many challenges today, from intense budget pressures to increasing complexity to managing multi-vendor environments," said Ruettgers. "They have to move, manage and protect growing amounts of information that people want to access from anywhere. Today`s smart organisations are meeting these challenges and preparing for new demand by adopting an automated networked storage infrastructure that gives them the flexibility, availability and performance to meet their business requirements."
In addition to Ruettgers` keynote, several EMC technologists and engineers will present at technical sessions for the estimated 20 000 attendees at the event (10 to 15 November, Moscone Convention Center). The EMC technical sessions are focused on business continuity, deploying Oracle9i Database on EMC network-attached storage (NAS), deploying EMC CLARiiON in Oracle environments and optimising applications by utilising the ECOstructure (EMC, Cisco, Oracle Infrastructure) blueprints.

EMC and Oracle have over 20 000 mutual installations, providing solutions for 90 of the Fortune 100 businesses. The companies have worked together since 1995, most recently announcing the opening of the Oracle and EMC Joint Service Center to deliver customised support for their shared customers as part of a new focus on advanced joint services offerings. EMC and Oracle, along with Cisco, continue to drive the widely regarded ECOstructure Initiative, providing the entire IT industry with blueprints for deploying high availability e-business infrastructures. Oracle is a charter member of the EMC Developers Program (EDP), and was one of the first companies to integrate EMC`s WideSky middleware into its product development. EMC has had engineering and business development resources on site at Oracle for over five years, and both companies utilise each other`s technologies in their own businesses.
