Jun, 2001 : Interliant Offers Hosted Oracle Database Solution

📅 June 7, 2001 - Interliant, Inc. (interliant.com), a leading global application service provider, announced on Tuesday that it had made available its INIT Database Hosting solution for Oracle databases, offering users services ranging from license rental to full database administration.

Interliant says its INIT Database Hosting service offers complete Oracle database functionality in a fully managed solution, reducing the total cost of ownership and shortening the assessment and deployment phases associated with in-house implementations. The solution is targeted at customers who have the ability to manage an application, but would like to outsource the database for reasons of complexity, scalability or reliability.
Interliant hosts, monitors and supports a customer's Oracle database in an Interliant data center on the INIT Managed Hosting platform, and provides database licenses, hardware, and database support, as well as monitoring and reporting for the hardware, operating system, and database. Moreover, as an Oracle iHost and Certified Solution Partner in the Oracle Partner Program, Interliant has the ability to rent Oracle database licenses as part of a full range of solutions that Interliant provides to its customers.
?Oracle has a longstanding relationship with Interliant, and the INIT Database Hosting solution for Oracle databases is a natural extension of that relationship,? said Renee Knee, senior vice president, worldwide alliances at Oracle.
?The INIT Database Hosting solution gives organizations the best of both worlds - a robust Oracle database hosted on Interliant's professionally managed infrastructure plus a full slate of DBA services,? said Scott Aldsworth, director of Oracle products for Interliant. ?Our depth and breadth of expertise enables us to extend services to the core database, including full database administration, troubleshooting, analysis, and repair, unlike most of our competitors who monitor only to the operating system level.?
The INIT Database Hosting solution provides for two different levels of database monitoring and support. The Standard level includes an initial assessment with custom analysis report, hardware rental, 24x7 database monitoring and support database backup and recovery, and emergency response. The Advanced level includes full database administration including 24x7 operating system monitoring and user management, proactive database management, creation and maintenance of user accounts, and annual reporting.
Interliant's INIT Database Hosting solution benefits businesses of all sizes, including small- and medium-sized enterprises that want to outsource a complex and difficult-to-manage segment of their operations. Database administrators are expensive and difficult to find, and Interliant's hosted solution reduces or eliminates the need for these businesses to hire, train, and retain DBAs. Large and growing companies will be able to harness the INIT Database Hosting solution to manage expansion and upgrades without the prohibitive costs of licensing, maintenance, and support.
