Our Database Insider team member, John Brust, caught up with Ryan Musgrave and Javen Hall from Cat Logistics to chat about their SAP on Oracle Database with Oracle RAC implementation.
Cat Logistics provides world-class supply chain solutions and services to its parent company, Caterpillar Inc., and more than 60 other leading corporations throughout the world; managing over 25 million SKUs annually.
Cat Logistics had a 99.8% availability SLA with their legacy mainframe system they were looking to replace. They chose Oracle Database with Oracle RAC to meet this need and with the assistance of Oracle's SAP lab in Germany - the Oracle RAC install took only 2 months.
One year since the replacement - they have definitely achieved 99.8% availability for their customers. Their implementation is SAP on Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Clusterware, Oracle Grid Control and Oracle RAC running a stretch cluster (2 sites, 10 miles apart - each site having a node that has seven RAC clusters) on AIX.
This Oracle Database Insider podcast has all the details.
Let us know your HA experience with Oracle RAC.
