Overview
HyperFabric is a Hewlett-Packard high-speed, packet-based interconnect for
node-to-node communications. HyperFabric provides higher speed, lower network
latency and less CPU usage than other industry standard protocols (e.g. Fibre Channel
and Gigabit Ethernet). Instead of using a traditional bus based technology, HyperFabric
is built around switched fabric architecture, providing the bandwidth necessary for high
speed data transfer. This clustering solution delivers the performance, scalability and
high availability required by:
• Parallel Database Clusters:
Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters (RAC)
Oracle 8i Parallel Servers (OPS)
• Parallel Computing Clusters
• Client/Server Architecture Interconnects (e.g. SAP)
• Multi-Server Batch Applications (e.g. SAS Systems)
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
• Technical Computing Clusters
• Omniback
• Network Backup
• NFS
• Data Center Network Consolidation
• E-services
Oracle RAC10g Support Notice
HyperFabric product suite was designed to optimize performance of Oracle RAC9i
database running on HP-UX clusters. With the industry moving to standards-based
networking technologies for database clustering solutions, HP and Oracle have worked
together to optimize features and performance of Oracle RAC10g database with
standards-based interconnect technologies including Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gigabit
Ethernet and Infiniband.
To align with the market trend for standards-based interconnects, Oracle RAC10g
database is not currently supported on configurations consisting of HyperFabric product
suite and it will not be supported in the future either. As a result, customers must switch
to Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gigabit Ethernet or Infiniband technology if they plan to use
Oracle RAC10g.
Please note that configurations comprising HyperFabric and Oracle 9i continue to be
supported.
