PALO ALTO, Calif., June 14, 2001— Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the leading provider of eBusiness analytic solutions, today announced that its data integration software will support  Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, an option to the Oracle9i Database that can provide – out-of-the-box – virtually limitless scalability and total availability for packaged applications.

“Working with Oracle, the largest provider of software for eBusiness, further strengthens our leadership in the analytics market by adding to the wealth of technology and service developments around the Oracle9i Database,” said Girish Pancha, senior vice president and general manager of platform technologies with Informatica. “Oracle9i Real Application Clusters provides a robust and scalable database environment. As the amount of analytic information and the number of end-users requiring analytic information increases, our customers need the ability to deploy massively scalable analytic infrastructures.  This is possible by combining Informatica’s scalable, high-performance enterprise data integration platform with Oracle9i Database.”

Oracle9i Real Application Clusters provides out-of-the-box, near-linear scaling transparency, compatibility with packaged applications with no required redesign, and the ability to quickly add nodes and disk as needed.  This virtually unlimited scalability and total availability allows for Informatica customers to benefit from low-cost clustered servers, in turn slashing database server costs traditionally associated with large SMP systems.
