Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 34 Robert Dick Novant Healthcare " Data availability and access 7x24 in our business is mandatory. Actually, it is often a matter of life or death. Oracle's SAM QFS solution allows us to easily store over 1 Billion files ranging from 512 bytes to 80 Gigabytes. This flexibility allows concurrent ingest and access from 79 different applications using the CIFS, NFS and FTP protocols on Windows, Solaris, Linux and AIX clients. We are able to continuously replicate between two active/active data centers 30 miles apart with 20 second fail-over. Lack of immediate data access is simply not an option."
