IFS Launches IFS-in-a-Box


STOCKHOLM --(Business Wire)--

Preinstalled IFS Applications on Oracle (News - Alert) Database Appliance can help save set-up time and money, meaning customers can realize the benefits of IFS Applications sooner

IFS (STO:IFSA)(STO:IFSB), the global enterprise applications company and a Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) today announced the availability of IFS-in-a-Box (News - Alert). Now customers have less need to worry or resource the initial installation of IFS Applications as this new 'in-a-Box' offer comes preinstalled on Oracle Database Appliance.

Upon delivery of IFS-in-a-Box customers can implement Oracle Database Appliance into their existing rack of servers and configure the set-up using one of the templates that are supplied 'in-a-Box'. Having the reassurance that the 'in-a-Box' offer has been optimally configured to make this a compelling solution for companies wanting to scale up capacity and users of IFS Applications, whilst keeping total cost of ownership low - it can be easy to add CPU and memory capabilities to their current deployment of IFS Applications. The solution also caters well for organizations creating high-availability IT environments, as the 'in-a-Box' proposition can offer a way to set-up fail-over environments.

Commenting on the simplicity of implementing the IFS-in-a-Box, Dan Matthews, Chief Technology Officer at IFS said: "Oracle provides best-practice templates for high availability, so it is possible to install and configure a clustered database environment including, Oracle Database and clustered storage for IFS Applications, in a significantly shorter amount of time. Environments for applications and load balancing servers can also be installed and configured in less time." The results come from test installations and configuration of IFS Applications 8 SP2 on Oracle Database Appliance hardware at the Oracle Solution Center in Linlithgow, Scotland.

IFS Applications are now available preinstalled on Oracle Database Appliance. For more information, please visit http://www.ifsworld.com/IFS-in-a-Box.
