7. Oracle VM
Marketing Message & Adoption
Marketing Message
●
Application-Driven Server Virtualization
Oracle VM Adoption:
●
#1 use case is Hard Partitioning
●
#2 use case is Oracle product certification
Considerations:
●
Oracle VM is NOT shrink wrap software
●
Oracle VM is a server, not a desktop virtualization solution
●
Oracle VM is an Enterprise Manager 12c feature
●
Oracle VM is a WebLogic Enterprise Edition feature, i.e. OVAB
●
Oracle VM is not a licensed Oracle product

8. Oracle Linux
Marketing Message Versus Adoption
Marketing Message
●
The Best Linux for Your Enterprise
Oracle Linux Adoption:
●
#1 use case is price and Oracle certification
●
50 to 60% less than Red Hat
●
Certified and tested with all Oracle products
Considerations:
●
Oracle Linux is a Red Hat tracking distribution with Oracle specific additions
●
Linux Support includes Linux Host Patching with OEM and/or Ops Center
●
Ksplice is bundled only with Premier Support
