Oracle Proficiencies

ExpressCluster software has the flexibility to be configured to move an Oracle instance up or down by simply starting or stopping the service in the cluster configuration. All Oracle data will then activate on the other node selected. In the event an Oracle software upgrade, ExpressCluster can be programmed to perform the failover through a simple “move“ operation. End users experience no downtime or interruption of service.
