RackWare Certification of Cloud Migration and DR Solutions on Oracle PCA X9-2

RackWare, Inc. announced the certification of its cloud migration and DR solutions on the Oracle PCA X9-2.

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) X9-2 is the next-gen Oracle Engineered System optimized for mission-critical applications and middleware. It is the latest member of the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance product family. PCA provides cloud and administrative services for general purpose IaaS for a range of workloads including modernized cloud native applications. The key new feature of PCA X9-2 compared to previous PCA versions is that it delivers private cloud infrastructure and architecture consistent with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Core IaaS services use the same APIs, methods, tools and interfaces familiar to OCI users. This is delivered on a modernized infrastructure, capable of high levels of scale and performance.

The company brings an automated, multi-function solution that enables enterprises to assess, migrate and protect workloads in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The offers covers several key use cases for PCA X9-2 including migration of workloads, Linux and Windows, from any source currently running on-premises or in other cloud providers. The firm also brings DR and backup to the PCA X9-2 as well. DR sites can be another PCA in a different geography, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and even other cloud providers.

The company worked with the Oracle PCA team to test and vet the solution on the X9-2 platform.

“Increasingly, customers are demanding integration of their on-premises and cloud deployments for complete disaster recovery protection. RackWare’s new certified solution provides customers with robust backup and DR capabilities between the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance, on-premises, and OCI,” said Krishna Srinivasan, senior director, product management, Oracle Private Cloud Appliance.

The company’s products have also been used with previous versions of PCA and have been tested and verified with PCA-X9-2.

“RackWare sees the PCA X9-2 as an excellent opportunity for companies to build private and multi-Cloud environments quickly, easily, and most importantly using the same secure and high performance infrastructure as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure,” said Todd Matters, CTO, RackWare.
