Overview:
For several years NAS has been rapidly evolving as a storage alternative for Oracle databases, and for good reason: NAS is quite often the simplest, most cost-effective storage approach for Oracle.

This evolution is driven in part by the emergence of "clustered NAS". Clustered NAS improves on traditional NAS in its ability to scale capacity and performance well beyond the limits of a single filer and provide the cost effective, built-in high availability required for enterprise Oracle environments. This step, along with the release of Direct NFS from Oracle and the simplicity of NAS, is ushering in a massive increase in the adoption of NAS for Oracle.

Learn about the benefits of HP's clustered NAS solutions in a comprehensive white paper, "Scalable, Fault-Tolerant NAS for Oracle: The Next Generation". The benefits include improvements in:

• Scalability: Scale well beyond a single filer system for improved performance and growing capacity needs.
• Availability: Built-in HA capabilities for no single points of failure within a single system.
• Simplicity: Running Oracle on NAS alleviates much of the cost and complexity of deploying and
• Standards: HP's Scalable NAS is built on industry-standard components consistent with Oracle Grid initiatives.
