The need for continuous uptime
“Our IT infrastructure evolved at an international level
in a short span. Now it’s a pioneer in many ways,
and we’re known in this region for the technologies
we implement and host. The availability requirements
of these systems are high and delays in delivering
our services would have a huge financial impact,”
says Premjit Nair, principal infrastructure architect
for Dubai World.

More than 30 minutes of downtime for company
systems would cost millions of dollars because the
applications relate directly to Dubai’s economy. Plus,
approximately 3,500 users depend on the Oracle ERP
system and databases. In response to Dubai’s business

demands, the IT staff promises 24x7 availability in
their service level agreement (SLA). To avoid
a sustained outage that could damage the
conglomerate’s reputation and IT staff’s own
credibility, they chose HP Superdome servers
based on their proven track record and reliability,
availability, and stability features. The Superdome
architecture’s scalability and performance address
the company’s growth projections and give the
staff confidence that they can proactively respond
to business and user needs. Integrated with an
HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE), including
Serviceguard Extension for RAC (SGeRAC) and
HP Metrocluster, the platform affords high
availability—without sacrificing the flexibility
needed for ultimate performance and utilization.

“We chose HP as our strategic partner and migrated
everything from other vendors to HP. At the time,
Oracle was certified on PA-RISC processors, and
HP gave us an option to start with PA-RISC-based
Superdomes. We saw that we could migrate to our
number-one option, Integrity Superdomes with Itanium
processors, at a nominal cost, thus protecting our
investment,” says Nair.
