Compellent intelligently manages your Oracle environment to create a reliable, stable and dynamic database infrastructure that is both easy to use and cost-effective.

Use of XML as a primary data format is spreading rapidly. Combining Oracle® XML Publisher with HP Output Server creates an output management system that can effectively process and reliably deliver XML-formatted output to print, fax, email, web, and other output destinations. More and more organizations are turning to XML as a medium to solve interoperability issues because data presented in XML is self-describing, and thus more easily understood by different systems. This paper describes a real-life implementation of HPOS and Oracle XML Publisher. The solution successfully processes thousands of job submissions per hour of XML-formatted data and non-XML-formatted documents from a combination of Oracle and non-Oracle applications.
