The Shared Data Difference
PolyServe develops software that creates scalable, highly available computing utilities for databases and file serving. Matrix Server™, a core component of all PolyServe's products, comprises a cluster file system and a clustered volume manager that virtualises Windows and Linux servers and storage. With Matrix Server, all servers can simultaneously read and write to shared data on a storage network while maintaining the speed and integrity of SAN-based storage. PolyServe Matrix server supports X86 and X86-64 server platforms. With IT organisations being driven to meet ever more stringent service level agreements (SLAs) in the face of decreasing budgets for servers, storage, software and staff, Polyserve can help to exceed SLAs and
- Reduce server costs by at least 50%
- Maximise the return on infrastructure investment
- Maximise the investment in software licences
- Reduce cluster configuration and management time by up to 75%
- Save as much as 70% on total cost of ownership over a three-year period
PolyServe's solution for Microsoft SQL offers operational adaptability, improved manageability and high availability services. It can help customers cut server counts and increase utilisation. The product's unique architecture enables increased flexibility where Microsoft SQL databases can be dynamically deployed in response to ever-changing business and capacity requirements. The PolyServe SQL Server Utility is an integrated solution, supported by Microsoft, which allows a collection of servers and SAN storage to be managed as a single entity for hosting many SQL Server databases. It is made up of three components that work together:
- Matrix Server: provides shared data clustering and allows a set of servers to be managed as a unit
- Matrix Volume Manager: allows storage from multiple arrays to be used and managed as a unit
- Matrix Solution Pack for SQL Server: adapts the core shared data clustering capabilities of the previous two components for use with the SQL Server
PolyServe creates modular file serving clusters, delivering eight times the performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional NAS Filers. The Matrix Server delivers high availability, vast performance improvements and management for the data centre and is the only third-party cluster file system validated by Oracle on both Red Hat and SuSE Linux. The PolyServe File Serving Utility is an integrated product that allows a collection of servers and SAN storage to be managed as a single entity, providing online maintenance capabilities for tasks such as:
- Operating system and hardware upgrades
- Adding storage capacity
- Growing file systems online with no interruption to service
- Adding servers to the utility to increase file serving performance
The Polyserve Database Utility™ for Oracle allows customers to easily manage and optimise the performance of multiple Oracle databases on clusters of Linux servers. It also improves system availability with significantly less management overhead. The Database Utility for Oracle allows multiple Oracle databases to be:
- Consolidated onto a cluster of servers
- Rehosted on demand
- Protected by universal high availability services
- Installed and patched from a single, shared Oracle Home
Additionally, the Polyserve Database Utility for Oracle RAC is a critical component of any RAC deployment. Polyserve's Database Utility for RAC helps customers install Oracle RAC faster, manage larger clusters more easily and fully utilise the benefits RAC provides. Polyserve Database Utility for Oracle RAC helps clients to:
- Safely migrate Oracle databases off expensive and slow Unix systems to more cost-efficient and easy to support Linux and Windows servers
- Deploy RAC reliably and easily on a battle tested, and OCE validated, cluster file system.
- Reduce annual operating costs - efficiently manage a cluster of servers and storage with database provisioning and storage management.
