Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux provides full-life-cycle guidance
on implementing Oracle Real Application Clusters in a Linux environment.
Real Application Clusters, commonly abbreviated as RAC, is Oracle's
industry-leading architecture for scalable and fault-tolerant databases.
RAC allows you to scale up and down by simply adding and subtracting
inexpensive Linux servers. Redundancy provided by those multiple,
inexpensive servers is the basis for the failover and other
fault-tolerance features that RAC provides.
Written by authors well-known for their talent with RAC, Pro Oracle
Database 11g RAC on Linux gives you a rock-solid and technically
flawless foundation on which to build your RAC-management skills.
Authors Julian Dyke and Steve Shaw share their hard-won
experience in building RAC clusters, showing you how to build for
success using the very latest Oracle technologies, such as Automatic
Storage Management (ASM) and Oracle Clusterware. You'll learn to
troubleshoot performance and other problems. You'll even learn how to
correctly deploy RAC in a virtual-machine environment based upon Oracle
VM, which is the only virtualization solution supported by Oracle
Corporation.
RAC is a complex and powerful technology. It demands expertise in its
deployment. You can't just "wing it" in creating a RAC solution. Julian
and Steve have earned the right to term themselves expert--in Pro
Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux, they offer a rigorous and
technically-correct treatment of RAC that helps you build a solid
foundation of expertise and achieve success.
