(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider NaviSite (www.navisite.com) announced on Tuesday it is using a combination of Oracle's (www.oracle.com) Sun servers and Oracle software to run its mission-critical systems.
NaviSite has more than 1,500 customers in 10 data centers across the US and UK. In order to meet the growing infrastructure demands of this customer base, NaviSite needed to expand its virtualization platform.
The company decided to deploy a combination of Oracle's Sun SPARC Enterprise servers running Oracle Solaris and Oracle's Sun Fire x86 clustered systems operating Oracle Enterprise Linux.
NaviSite is also using Oracle software, including Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters as its integrated and optimized technology platform, to provide customers with highly reliable, scalable and cost-effective solutions.
The company uses Sun SPARC Enterprise servers for applications requiring a high-level of performance, reliability and security.
Oracle's Sun x86 blade servers are ideal for virtualized application environments, delivering high levels of performance and energy efficiency, while reducing data center costs and complexity.
NaviSite also runs many of its internal systems, including Oracle E-Business Suite Financials and customer portal, on the same Oracle platform.
"This combination of Oracle technologies provides exceptional performance, scalability and reliability and is the perfect platform for running our Oracle managed application services and our internal systems," says Brady Reiter, general manager of enterprise architecture and application strategy at NaviSite.
