September 16, 2005 — Oracle Corporation and Fujitsu Limited today released, on their respective web sites, a best practice white paper for Oracle database 10g Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Fujitsu ETERNUS storage. This white paper not only verifies that Fujitsu ETERNUS storage is a best fit with Oracle 10g database but also that it provides superb backup/restore functions by the combination of Oracle database 10g ASM (Automatic Storage Management) and Fujitsu ETERNUS storage with its built-in mirroring/snapshot function controlled by AdvancedCopy Manager software.

Fujitsu has verified at its Platform Solution Center in Tokyo that AdvancedCopy Manager successfully operates in a configuration of ETERNUS storage, clustered servers, Oracle 10g database and ASM. Customers can now use this best practice validation to operate reliable and highly available database environments with efficient and quick backup and recovery capability.
