Alan Bort
started working as first-line support for Oracle customers before the support model switched to web-based Oracle support. In the beginning, his area of interest was Linux System Administration, Oracle Database, and Oracle Applications, but later focused only on Oracle Database with a special interest in large-scale high availability and disaster recovery scenarios.

He currently works for IBM’s Service Delivery structure for several companies and has worked on several projects to overhaul their Disaster Recovery capabilities.

He also teaches the Oracle Certificate Program at the University of Washington and independent seminars on a variety of Oracle subjects. In 2001
