Avago uses Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Oracle E-Business Suite
for major business processes, including order management, finance, procurement,
planning, manufacturing, reporting, and business intelligence. “Ninety percent of our
business operates on a single instance of Oracle E-Business, so the reliability and
performance of the underlying platform are critically important,” says Shreyas Shah,
senior director of global IT for Avago Technologies.

Previously, Avago housed its Oracle application stack on an Intel-based platform
operating Oracle Linux 5.2. When the compute infrastructure in Avago’s Singapore
test/development and production data centers needed a refresh, the IT team decided
to evaluate computing systems based on reliability, support, operational efficiency,
performance, and integration with the existing EMC storage area network. During the
migration, Avago would be upgrading to Oracle Linux 5.4 and Oracle Real Application
Clusters (RAC) 11g R1. “The challenge would be accomplishing all this with no more
than 48 hours downtime,” Shah says.

To complicate the challenge, the company had only seven months
to refresh the two Singapore data centers and build a new disaster
recovery facility in Colorado.
