Editor's Notes
- In summary, Cisco and Oracle as technology front-runners provide YOU the tools you need to optimize your Oracle environments!
- Many organizations perform the following steps when servicing a new applications or requirement.Collect detailed requirements.Architect & Size: Work with the vendors to architect and size the system. Depending on the number of applications and the number of vendors involved, the sizing and architecting phase can take many weeks and often months.DC Planning: Work with the Data Center team and negotiate power, floorspace, and cooling requirements for the new system.Procure Equipment: This involves many weeks of getting quotes, ordering, and receiving the new gear. Dealing with a large organization plus shipping times can easily take six weeks.Detailed Design: This phase involves working out exact configuration for compute configuration, network connectivity, storage layout, security, and isolation.Deploy: Configure the equipment for use.Test: Create and run a test plan to ensure that the equipment is correctly installed and meets the original requirements.By using FlexPod, many of these phases are compressed or removed altogether – customers taking the standardized approach to IT have repeatable demonstrated better than 50% faster deployment times over traditional approaches – Cisco-NetApp provide the reference collateral (sizing, design, deployment, testing), to standardized this deployment approach to all customers.Many organizations don’t know the future demands that will be placed on IT, but IT is expected to be very responsive. So going a step further by forward (preprovisioned) FlexPod as a pool of infrastructure, the compute, network, and storage resources are on the floor already, and it is a very rapid process to meet the business needs.You can efficiently preprovision infrastructure only if it augments pools of shared infrastructure and satisfies a wide range of application requirements. FlexPod for Oracle has been architected to meet a wide range of application demands from shared infrastructure pools that are centrally managed.

- So don’t wait, today is the ideal time to reach out to Cisco and find out more about the Oracle on Cisco Unified Computing System solutions that could help you to optimize YOUR Oracle environment.
- If Oracle request to recreate a problem on bare metal, this would be the same point that they would make this request if the customer is running Oracle VM, or KVM etc.
