Munich, May 20, 2008 —

Helping safeguard against system failure in mission-critical enterprise computing environments, PRIMERGY servers and FibreCAT SX storage systems from Fujitsu Siemens Computers are featured in new Oracle Validated Configurations. By participating in the Oracle Validated Configurations program, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Europe's leading IT infrastructure provider, is able to help assure enterprise customers that the software, hardware, storage and networking components of its PRIMERGY server and FibreCAT SX storage platform are tried, tested and up to the job of meeting customers’ demanding performance levels for running mission-critical enterprise applications on Oracle® Enterprise Linux.

The Oracle Validated Configurations program enables customers to simplify deployment and reduce the need for expensive testing of Linux stacks based on the Oracle Enterprise Linux platform. Participation in the program underlines Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ commitment to customers to deliver compatibility between Oracle configurations on Linux and PRIMERGY servers, marketed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Fujitsu in other markets.

"Fujitsu Siemens Computers and Fujitsu Computer Systems have a long history of offering customers a choice of operating systems and platforms to run their business-critical applications," says Bernd Kosch, Vice President Strategic Alliances at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "We are pleased to work with Oracle on the Oracle Unbreakable Linux program and the validation of Oracle Enterprise Linux with our PRIMERGY server family. Oracle Validated Configurations help ensure our customers of a proven and reliable platform ready to run their business at a lower cost."

"Oracle and Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ relationship around the Oracle Unbreakable Linux program extends our commitment to enable users to deploy Linux faster, better and at lower cost,” says Monica Kumar, Senior Director Linux and Open Source Product Marketing, Oracle.

The validated configurations consist of PRIMERGY RX300 rack servers and FibreCAT SX80 storage devices running Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 for Linux x86-64 using Oracle Automatic Storage Management.

With up to two quad-core Intel Xeon processors, up to 12 hot-pluggable 2.5” hard drives with a capacity of up to 1.7 TB 6 PCI slots and two Gigabit Ethernet LAN connections, the RX300 is the ideal platform for running intensive database operations on Linux-based platforms 24x7 in business-critical environments, where every possible measure has been taken to eradicate unplanned system downtime.
