In Oracle has launched new bundled offerings around its x86 servers, entry level SPARC servers and storage solutions to enable mid-size organization drive superior consolidation and virtualization as they embrace cloud computing.
This new Volume Business Initiative will be driven through partners and is being rolled out across APAC markets.
In their journey to cloud computing, many midsized companies are moving from silos to a virtual environment. However, the traditional method of building a virtualized infrastructure is very time-consuming and a perplexing effort, owing to the required integration of many components such as servers, storage, network, virtualization tools, and operating systems from a broad range of vendors, said Stuart Long, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Sales Consulting Director, Systems Division, Asia Pacific and Japan, Oracle Corporation.
The largest cost drivers in a multi-vendor virtualized infrastructure are software licensing and support for operating system and virtualization. These bundles include a complete, virtualized infrastructure (at no additional cost) that is certified and fully supported with Oracle applications and databases, avoiding the complexity of dealing with multiple vendors for support.
It is a single-vendor solution for the entire hardware and software stack from application to disk that can be deployed in hours rather than weeks.
These bundles deliver a complete, virtualized infrastructure that is secure, highly scalable and comes at an excellent price and performance benefits. Some of the key benefits include:
Huge savings Offers up to 50 percent lower acquisition and operational costs
Zero downtime - Oracle is the only enterprise Linux provider that can offer zero-downtime updates that enable customers to apply security updates, diagnostic patches and critical bug fixes without rebooting.
Simplifying management Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides a comprehensive solution that eases the management pains of traditional data centers, enabling organizations fast track to the cloud, while maximizing service quality and minimizing IT management costs. No other vendor today is able to provide this level of complete cloud control across a users infrastructure.
Certainty and security - RedHat Linux for ease of deployment, migration, management. In addition, Oracle Linux 100% compatible with Red Hat.
We realize that the needs of midsize customers are the same as large enterprises. However, for midsize customers, time is critical and therefore there is a demand to invest in easy-to-implement technology solutions so that the benefits can start showing quickly, said Mitesh Agarwal, CTO & Director - Systems Solution Consulting, Oracle India. These new bundles do exactly that by helping mid-size companies easily upgrade, consolidate and virtualize their existing IT infrastructure, at a very affordable cost and thus enabling them to build a strong foundation for cloud adoption.
