>____HP, Oracle, Cisco Set High-Availability Plan___
>Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and Cisco Systems today will set
>out a technology road map aimed at delivering server
>environments with 99.999% uptime -- that's less than five
>minutes unplanned downtime per year -- within two years.
>
>"We're pulling together the leading platforms to take this
>first and important step," says Janice Chaffin, general
>manager of HP's high-performance systems division.
>
>HP and Oracle will work to ensure uptime guarantees at the
>database level; technology that will reduce database
>recovery time; self-tuning and self-healing databases that
>optimize performance automatically by anticipating and
>correcting potential problems; and joint support programs
>for ensuring high-availability, according to the companies.
>
>Oracle and Cisco say they'll develop tools that allow
>administrators to model disaster impact on existing or new
>networks; technology that provides automatic preventive
>network maintenance and change-control technology that
>corrects problems before they become evident; and a single
>point of contact through HP for support issues that involve
>HP-Cisco environments.  -- Mary Hayes
