Iowa Network Services upgrades Services Uptime

Iowa Network Services is using Oracle Solaris on Oracle's SPARC T-Series servers to provide superior application performance and reliability, improve services uptime and create virtual servers to help consolidate its datacenter and phase out older hardware.

Iowa Network Services has claimed to be substantially improved the availability and reliability of their services, achieving close to 99.999% uptime with Oracle Solaris.

Iowa Network Services is also supposed to be using Oracle Solaris Containers to establish isolation mechanisms that help improve resource use and provide all workloads with access to the appropriate amount of computing resources. The Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers capability is said to allow Iowa Network Services to run their Solaris 8 and 9 Oracle Solaris applications within multiple Oracle Solaris environments on a single system, immediately gaining scalability and performance benefits, without modifying existing applications.

Iowa Network Services has estimated to consolidate 36 servers onto four SPARC T-series servers, reducing its footprint by more than 85 percent. Iowa Network Services is also said to evaluate Oracle Solaris 11 Express and expects to migrate to Oracle Solaris 11 in the future.

Steve Guntly, Manager, Systems Administration, Iowa Network Services Inc. said, "Oracle Solaris on SPARC servers is a key component of our infrastructure. With Oracle Solaris Containers, we can create multiple private execution environments within a single instance of Oracle Solaris. With each environment having its own identity, it behaves as if it’s running on its own system, making consolidation both easy and secure. We are looking forward to testing Oracle Solaris 11 technologies and features on the SPARC T3-1 server and leveraging the improved software and hardware integration and expanded virtualization capabilities, with hopefully even better performance and reliability."
