Why Now? Oracle on Red Hat on Intel Saves 85%
This
three-part presentation will discuss the reasoning, business case,
performance expectations and product selections supporting a
platform move from RISC UNIX to x86 Linux for the Oracle
Enterprise RDBMS..
Eric White, MYRA Systems Corp.
Eric
is a senior Project Manager at MYRA Systems Corp. He will be
representing MYRA's extensive expertise in managing Oracle
platforms (particularly Oracle-on-Solaris/SPARC) and discussing
the precursor conditions necessary for making a platform migration
worthwhile. In particular, Eric will discuss industry benchmarks
of the Oracle RDBMS, performance characteristics of various RISC
and x86 architectures, and the ramifications with respect to
Oracle Enterprise licensing costs. Various potential platform
options will be briefly surveyed before handing over to Intel and
Red Hat for discussion of their advantages in such a migration.
Jason Ganovsky, Red Hat
Jason
is a Solutions Architect with Red Hat’s Partner team. Jason will
discuss why Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the premier
platform for hosting Oracle Database workloads including specific
discussions around optimizing RHEL for Oracle workloads, the wide
base of RHEL ISV/IHV certifications and the efficiency that RHEL
delivers for mission critical applications. He will also outline
customers who have been successful in migrating large Oracle
databases from UNIX to RHEL in the enterprise.
