PARIS, January 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Sage ERP X3 Tested, Tuned and Ready to Runon Oracle
Database
Sage announced today that Sage ERP X3 has achieved Oracle
Database Ready status through Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN),
demonstrating that Sage has fully tested and supports Sage ERP X3
on Oracle Database 11g Release 2. Additionally, support for
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 allows Sage to run its
application databases on Oracle Database Appliance, providing them
a simple, highly available, cost-effective solution for their
critical business applications. Sage is a Gold level member of
Oracle PartnerNetwork.
Sage is recognized by Oracle for developing, testing and tuning
their applications on the latest engineered systems from
Oracle[1]. Oracle Database 11g Release 2offers
Sage industry leading performance, reliability and scalability to
power the most demanding business critical applications. It also
helps customers save money by lowering storage usage, reducing
administration tasks, and enabling consolidation onto secure
private database cloud environments.
By achieving Oracle Database Ready status, Sage has also
demonstrated that Sage ERP X3 will effectively run with the Oracle
Database Appliance. Oracle Database Appliance is a simple,
reliable, affordable engineered system of software, servers,
storage and networking that helps Oracle customers and partners
save time and money by streamlining deployment, maintenance, and
support of database workloads.
The test demonstrated that the installation of Sage ERP X3
application databases on the Oracle Database Appliance was done
very easily and only took a few hours, where it can take days to
perform the same installation on an equivalent clustered database
configured manually, saving costs and increasing
efficiency.Additional potential benefits to Sage ERP X3 customers
include maximizing productivity while reducing downtime, reducing
or eliminating integration risk and flexibility for midsize
companies with Oracle's 'pay as you grow' licensing option*. With
Oracle Database Ready status, Sage will receive access to
corresponding Oracle branding, logos and related benefits to
effectively differentiate their offerings in the market.
Christophe Letellier, CEO of Sage
ERP X3 commented, "The successful testing of Sage ERP X3 on Oracle
Database 11gRelease 2 and with the Oracle Database Appliance
means that we can offer medium companies a simpler, faster to
deploy and more cost effective option. The 'pay as you grow' model
is specifically targeted at companies that need a flexible way of
scaling up as they increase their database requirements. We believe
the combination of benefits with flexible licensing will be very
attractive to our existing and new customers."
"By achieving an Oracle Database Ready status, companies such as
Sage demonstrate that their solution can efficiently run on the
world's leading database - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 -
as well as with the Oracle Database Appliance. This gives customers
confidence that their application database is running on a highly
available infrastructure that will operate as promised," said
Chris Baker, Senior Vice President,
Worldwide ISV and OEM Sales. "By achieving Oracle Database Ready
status, Sage has the ability to leverage a complete, cost-effective
foundation for their application database, allowing them to reduce
maintenance cost and complexity."
Sage ERP X3 V6.3 is already available on Oracle Database
11g Release 2.
