Initially in networking, now extended to systems



Foundational customers to each other



Joint engineering engagement at many levels



Oracle infrastructure platform – Oracle VM & Oracle

Linux tested/validated on UCS



Database – Oracle RAC is the first certified Unified

Fabric



Early access code and hardware exchanged

between Oracle and Cisco



Performance benchmarks for E-Business Suite and

Weblogic on Oracle Linux
