Burlington Coat Factory Increases Computing Power

Burlington Coat Factory upgrades its computer infrastructure with Oracle 10g software. The Oracle grid computing infrastructure consists of two 18-node Linux database clusters running on IBM xSeries servers. The new software runs a mixed workload of decision support and online transaction processing (OLTP) applications. In addition, each cluster dedicates several nodes to run standby as well as backup and recovery databases. Oracle Real Application clusters increase application availability by providing fault tolerance from hardware failures or planned outages.
