Siemens Shared Services selects Oracle clustered database

Oracle has announced that Siemens Shared Services, a provider of payroll to human resources solutions, has deployed its clustered database environment to support services to more than 70,000 Siemens employees across the US.

Relying on Oracle Database, Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Automatic Storage Management, Oracle Partitioning, and Oracle Enterprise Manager, Siemens Shared Services's clustered database environment is expected to deliver the performance, scalability, reliability, and flexibility required to support its Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management applications and critical business processes, including payroll for all US-based employees.

Siemens Shared Services uses Oracle Partitioning to break payroll data information into manageable components. To monitor its clustered environment, the company uses the monitoring and diagnostic capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager.

In addition, Siemens Shared Services relies on Oracle Automatic Storage Management to automate and streamline storage performance and management and add additional storage capacity without disruption.

Steve Montgomerie, administrator of Oracle Database at Siemens Shared Services, said: "Oracle Real Application Clusters on Windows provides us with the continuous uptime we need to meet our critical business objectives, while easing the burden of our IT infrastructure to grow and scale with the business."
