GridApp Systems Accelerates ROI with New Professional Services Initiative – RAC Xpress

Rapid Deployment Service Implements Oracle RAC in One Day

NEW YORK – December 5, 2006 – GridApp Systems, Inc. (www.gridapp.com), the leading provider of database automation software and solutions, today announced the debut of “RAC Xpress,” an expert service offering dedicated to eliminating the complexities of Oracle RAC implementations, ensuring successful Oracle RAC installations within a single day, rather than weeks.  Combining GridApp’s years of experience in effective RAC deployments and best-practices expertise in cluster technologies, RAC Xpress delivers successful business results in the shortest time at an exceptional price of $4,000 per engagement.

GridApp Systems’ Professional Services Group (PSG) will work with application designers, database administrators and systems administration teams to validate and implement RAC clustering technologies.  The PSG team will validate the pre-configured environment, identify and repair when necessary and provide “as-built” configuration reports for documentation purposes.  Additionally, GridApp’s PSG can offer alternative turnkey solutions and recommendations to take full advantage of Oracle RAC. 

“RAC Xpress is a quick-start way to successfully deploy a certified configuration of Oracle RAC,” said John Duffy, vice president of solutions for GridApp Systems. “GridApp’s strong expertise in cluster technologies combined with our database automation and administration solutions make RAC Xpress an ideal consideration for any organization with highly scalable and available infrastructure requirements.”

Beyond this RAC Xpress service package, GridApp Systems also provides advanced service offerings for RAC provisioning that handle specific customer requirements. All non-certified configurations of Oracle RAC require a custom quote from GridApp.

GridApp’s Professional Services Group supports large SAN environments, VCS and DataGuard, and offers maintenance services, such as remote DBA services designed to keep infrastructure up and running post-implementation.  Additionally, GridApp’s PSG provides a myriad of database-centric consulting expertise, such as database infrastructure assessment and design, high availability solutions, data replication, business continuity, application tuning and performance tests.
