Re: Oracle Parallel Server(OPS)

Basically, OPS provides for fault-tolerant and multiprocessing operation on a cluster of machines.

Oracle and DEC recently turned in an astonishing TPC-C result with OPS running on a cluster of (I think) 4 DEC Alphas.

Oracle and SCO will (sometime soon) be announcing OPS running on a cluster of SCO UnixWare systems. This was demonstrated on 4 Compaq ProLiant 4500s (each with 4 x Pentium 166MHz) at the European Oracle User Group conference in Amsterdam.

The key benefits of the OPS and cluster approach is that it gives you all the benfits of hot-standby operation, but actually uses the processing power of all systems in the cluster. Hot-standby uses only one system, the other sitting idle 99.9% of the time.
