REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- 07/08/09 --
Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- Organizations worldwide including City of Albuquerque, Merial and
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have upgraded to Oracle® Database 11g to power
their business applications, Oracle announced today.
Oracle Database 11g Foundation for Key Business Applications
- City of Albuquerque, New Mexico runs
Oracle Database 11g as the foundation for a new implementation of Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise
Financial Management and Human Capital Management Release 9.0 applications.
The City of Albuquerque relied on its internal staff to install, configure
and deploy Oracle Database 11g, which went live in January 2009.
- Merial is a world-leading,
innovation-driven animal health company, providing a comprehensive range of
products to enhance the health, well-being and performance of a wide range
of animals. In November 2008, Merial went live with U.S.-based entities on
the Oracle E-Business Suite Release
12 powered by Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters
running on Oracle Enterprise Linux, and upgraded to Oracle Database 11g in
April 2009. Furthermore, in June 2009, the French business entity went live
on the same global application. Merial now runs a highly available and
scalable global single instance of its applications allowing it to
eliminate previously disparate IT systems, integrate additional business
units from other countries over time, and deliver improved performance
levels for the application users. Oracle Consulting Services assisted in
architecting and implementing the Oracle infrastructure software in support
of the Oracle E-Business Suite R12 at Merial.
- Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute,
a leading global genome research institute, has implemented Oracle Database
11g, Oracle Real Application Clusters and Oracle Partitioning to more
efficiently manage their 90-terabyte and growing research database. Another
key factor behind the institute's usage of Oracle Database 11g is the
SecureFiles feature. Oracle
SecureFiles enables the high performance storage and retrieval of
unstructured file content such as images, audio, video, PDFs and
spreadsheets in Oracle Database 11g. Running on industry-standard hardware
and storage, the institute's research database offers users significantly
improved performance, availability and scalability.

"As part of a new implementation spanning hardware and PeopleSoft
Enterprise applications, we deployed the latest release of Oracle
Database," said Jens Nielsen, Database Administrator II, City of
Albuquerque. "Going live on both PeopleSoft Enterprise and Oracle Database
11g at once has allowed us to focus our efforts on application maintenance,
database tuning and availability enhancements to meet the performance and
reliability needs of our users."
"Our investments in the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 and Oracle
Database 11g with Oracle Real Application Clusters are helping Merial to
improve and streamline business processes in addition to offering our
global users a robust environment that will meet their performance and
availability needs," said Gurunathan Sankaran, Executive Director -
Enterprise Architecture, Merial.
"Oracle's SecureFiles storage feature makes the Oracle Database 11g a major
platform for managing large object data types while providing rapid
retrieval speeds, improved system performance, optimized space and hardware
usage, and extreme scalability," said Karen Ambrose, Senior Database
Administrator, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
"Organizations worldwide continue to adopt Oracle Database 11g to power
their enterprise applications," said William Hardie, vice president of
Database Product Marketing, Oracle. "The customers highlighted here are
excellent examples of business user applications benefiting from the
performance, availability, scalability and other features of Oracle
Database 11g."
