dbButler is a pre-installed Oracle database appliance GRID which is built to your specifications. dbButler relies on the best new technologies including Linux, Serial ATA drives, iSCSI, RAID cards and Intel certified components to allow your corporation to utilize a database server which is extremely powerful, yet priced appropriately for today's economy. Additionally, via the use of built-in iSCSI, dbButler's may be clustered together for industry-best high availability requirements providing you with a robust, powerful and highly available database server, all for a fraction of the costs of traditional vendor solutions (10x cost/performance VS Solaris UltraSparc). For example, 2 dbButlers can be clustered in a mirror configuration for easy to use and bulletproof high avilability solutions, synced at the SAN block level for zero latency. This capability is built into the product.

Or purchase the dbButler pre-configured in multiple 10g RAC nodes utilizing OCFS and ASM. These systems are pure GRID architecture, backed up and GRID controlled by BackupButler.

Opteron Hyperthreading in our Linux Kernel configurations show as twice the physical processors with an additional minimum 50% processor throughput. Our new hyperthreaded twin processor 1 TB, 26gig RAM system benchmarks 2124% faster than a sun V880/6 using T3 storage arrays, at 20% the system cost.

dbButler's are easily integrated with BackupButler and SANButler appliances to form a completely protected, high performance, cost-effective data center. Here's an example : twin hyperthreaded Opterons with 24 GB of RAM and 10 TB of internal Raid 10 disk, and for backup an 80TB disk to disk RMAN BackupButler for the sum total of $299,000.00 US dollars. That's enterprise datacenter in a box, completely installed and supported 100% by us, at price performance ratios of 20 to 1. Want to do RAC instead? Add 10k for a twin node RAC installation, fully installed and 24x7 supported by us. Prices not including Oracle licensing.

We are specialists of high performance database architectures delivering the Lintel Enterprise promise.
