Oracle on 23 April released several new products involving the data centre equipment and application sides of its business.
In hardware, Orace updated to the third generation its Sun-developed ZFS Storage 7420 network attached storage (NAS) appliance. In software, the company upgraded its JD Edwards’ Enterprise One application for midrange enterprises with some industry-specific improvements.
The 7420 NAS system for data centres now has options that include a two-node, high-availability controller with up to 2TB of memory, up to 11TB of flash-based read/write cache, and 80 processing cores, allowing the system to handle more concurrent enterprise applications and support more virtual machines.
Sun ZFS storage appliances also offer larger 3TB, capacity-optimized SAS-2 hard disk drives within its fully automated Hybrid Storage Pool environment. These new drives complement legacy 15,000-RPM SAS-2 drives and enable the 7420 appliance to scale to more than 1.7 PB in total capacity, if needed.
The ZFS storage appliances are the only NAS products engineered directly to Oracle’s software stack, from Oracle Applications to Oracle Database and Oracle VM, as well as the Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle SPARC SuperCluster T4-4.
On the software side, the JD Edwards suite of ERA and CRM applications has been given a makeover to v.9.1. New functionalities, according to Oracle, include:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 also supports upgrades from Xe and higher releases of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, as well as migrations from Oracle’s JD Edwards World A7.3 or higher.
The new products are available now, Oracle said. The company made the announcements at its Collaborate users conference in Las Vegas.
