Remora rolling out an OVM cluster across 4 continents

Remora has been contracted to provide one of the largest Oracle Virtual Machine 3 deployments in the Asia-Pacfic region. OVM 3 is the latest virtualisation technology from Oracle and provides some major advancements from it's predecessor OVM 2.

Oracle Virtual Machine utilises the Xen hypervisor and is rapidly becoming the preferred option for VM deployments due to it's robustness, competitive licensing and support costs. When purchased with Oracle hardware it has no licensing costs and comes with 1 year support.

The deployment being rolled out for the large international client spans over 4 continents. Once completed, the client will be able to manage their entire infrastructure from a central location. The result will be a more robust global network with greater flexibility, high availability, greater redundancy and lower maintenance costs.

Custom SCADA solutions to enhance live data response times

SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems are used in industry control systems in order to monitor and control machinery and equipment. Remora was commissioned to develop a solution for an energy provider to enable the automation of some of their SCADA systems. The resulting application enhanced the energy providers ability to react to changes base electricity prices without human intervention.

In this instance electricity prices and predicitons were monitored realtime. SCADA systems were triggered to activate generators based on customer specified thresholds. Prior to this solution the customer was required to monitor the prices and trigger SCADA systems manually. The final system allowed for time critial reactions to prices changes greatly increasing the customers revenue potential.
