Customer Challenges
1. Application and database availability Many mission
critical systems demand 5 nines (99.999%) of uptime:
Per year no more than 6 minutes of unplanned downtime
2. Revenue Impact of unplanned downtime
Independent auditing of the revenue impact related to
unplanned downtime can range from 10s of thousands to
millions of dollars per 24 hours of outage
3. Broad application availability availability of the
entire application stack and not just the database
4. Rapid Provisioning and Greater Uptime New RAC
nodes are provisioned in minutes and vSphere HA along
with RAC provides greater Uptime
