CXtec’s Migration from Large SMP to Oracle RAC on Linux
Dean Bettinger, Storage Technology Business Development Manager, CXtec

Dean Bettinger guided CXtec’s migration from Oracle running on a Sun SMP server to an Oracle RAC Cluster running on Linux and the business case that drove that migration.  This presentation will draw from the published Case Study Forum paper describing how CXtec leveraged HP’s PolyServe Database Utility and commodity Intel x86 servers to realize $1M in cost savings and benefits.  Mr. Bettinger will also describe in detail CXtec’s Cisco InfiniBand high-speed interconnect and Compellent Storage Center SAN technologies.

Mr. Bettinger has 27 years of industry experience, particularly in the development of advanced information systems architectures. Over the last 11 years at CXtec he guided the following infrastructure initiatives: traditional fibre channel SAN, EqualLogic iSCSI SAN, Linux-based Oracle RAC cluster, storage virtualization, Cisco VoIP migration, and server virtualization. Mr. Bettinger was also involved in several major software development projects: internally developed da Vinci CRM, Oracle Applications 11i upgrade, and CXtec’s third generation equal2new® Information System shop floor automation system.

Mr. Bettinger received his B.S. and M.S. in Computer Engineering from Syracuse University. He is an Adjunct Instructor at Syracuse University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science and has also taught Unix System Administration at SU’s Center for Business Information Technology where he serves on the CBIT Advisory Board. In 2002 Mr. Bettinger was named Syracuse’s Computer Professional of the Year by the ACM, Syracuse Chapter.
