Slovenian government experience ?

CVI is involved with IBM and ORACLE for more then 15 years.

CVI went through similar changes as IBM and ORACLE, and responding to the needs of CVI users is a really demanding and challenging objective.

Despite the reality, that CVI is the only installation of such an architecture (IBM S/390, z/900, Oracle, z/OS, z/VM, LINUX) in the region, IBM and ORACLE support is adequate.

We are looking forward for continuous cooperation between us.

IFS Certification for Linux on zSeries

IFS is a package of ERP/CRM applications based on Oracle. They were interested in the consolidation capabilities of zSeries for their customers

First benchmark tests showed a limitation in number of users connected, due to 31bits architecture. A workaround was found by using a 31 bit Oracle under a 64 bits Linux

Tested in LPAR mode and with zVM guests, in standalone server and in a 2 instances RAC cluster

Response times in accordance with IFS baseline cross platform. Excellent vertical scalability. Excellent stability under heavy workload

Early tests for Oracle 9i on 64bits Linux. Allowed to fix some problems in Oracle installer, as well as a Bug in 31bit compatibility under 64bits architecture

IFS certified on zSeries, and Oracle 9i certified on SLES 8 64 bits
