GoldenGate Software Announces Support for Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) and Extended Support for Linux

GoldenGate First to Offer Data Synchronization for Next-Generation Environment

San Francisco, Calif. - September 8, 2003 - GoldenGate Software today announced that its leading data synchronization platform now supports Oracle RAC. Extending its existing support for Linux, GoldenGate becomes the first to offer data synchronization for Oracle RAC on Linux. This adds to GoldenGate's support on over 50 different database and hardware/operating system configurations, reinforcing GoldenGate's leadership as the most diverse data synchronization solution available. The announcement at OracleWorld follows recent news of a newly formed sales, marketing and technology alliance with BMC Software" which added GoldenGate's data synchronization capabilities to the BMC Software SmartDBA data management portfolio, creating the industry's first complete data management and real-time data synchronization solution for heterogeneous environments. The two companies are exhibiting at OracleWorld, September 8th through 11th at Booth 1926 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. GoldenGate will also exhibit at the Linux Pavilion in Booth 826.

"We continue to enable our customers to take advantage of the latest technologies in a timeframe that makes the most sense for their business," said Mike Seashols, CEO of GoldenGate. "We have been supporting the Linux platform for some time and our Oracle RAC support means that our customers immediately become 'RAC Ready'. They can execute a variety of initiatives including migrating from Oracle 8i to Oracle 9i with zero downtime and can choose to take advantage of Oracle RAC when they are ready. Our mission is to stay ahead of the market, and help customers move, manage and synchronize data across diverse environments and to leverage the latest offerings such as Oracle RAC, 10g and beyond — that is the challenge facing the real-time enterprise."

"Federated Services Company provides its broker and bank clients up-to-the-minute transaction information, account balance, price factor, historical and current day information," said Sharon A. Kolarac, AVP - Manager, Database Support Services, Business Information Services Division, Federated Services Company. "GoldenGate provides data synchronization for disaster recovery enabling zero-downtime. As a 24x7 operation, we are eager to explore the capabilities of Oracle RAC and now have added confidence, knowing that GoldenGate will support us as we grow and add new capabilities to remain competitive."

"High-speed data synchronization and replication in both homogeneous and heterogeneous database environments are increasingly an IT focus to support real-time data movement for both 'active' data analysis as well as business continuity," said Mark Shainman, senior analyst with META Group. "Vendors that allow IT organizations to leverage existing infrastructure investments to achieve this goal are valued assets to any company."
