Health Check Assessment

Your Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) is at the heart of your database architecture, as a simplistic and reliable platform, but are you utilizing it at its full potential? When you leverage Viscosity, an Oracle Platinum Partner and certified ODA expert, you are gaining leaders in end-to-end design, implementation, and support for ODA. Viscosity’s health check assesses the entire stack from ODA hardware, OS, RAC environment, and the database. Our goal is to assess the ODA environment for redundancy and availability.
