More Than 8,500 Customers…and Growing
Rely on Oracle Linux Support
Exadata Customers running Oracle
Linux
“BT has decided that Linux is the way forward for all our major
applications. BT chose Oracle Linux over Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
We have hundreds of servers continually growing with Oracle
Linux installed. So any new services that use Linux that will be built
-- any of the new servers -- will have Oracle Linux installed on it.”
Surren Partabh
Chief Technology Officer, British Telecom
When choosing support - traditional Unix
Vendor vs. Linux Vendor
Traditional Unix Vendor Linux Vendor
Develops and tests hardware and OS together
Develops OS only
Oracle knowledge in development, QA, and support
No Oracle expertise, staff
Tests entire Oracle stack (hardware, OS, and Oracle Database)
Limited testing of OS only
Provides fixes for OS version customer runs
Customer encouraged to upgrade to latest release plus fix
Oracle Linux: Summary
• Choice of two kernels
• Red Hat Compatible Kernel
• Oracle’s Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
• Both kernels open source and are free to
download; Difference is in functionality
• Support pricing is same for both
• Oracle Unbreakable Linux Support Program
• Oracle recommends using the Unbreakable
Enterprise Kernel

Agenda
Why Oracle Linux is a great solution for isvs –
covering reducing COGS and other reasons
• 1. Reduced COGS = cost of good sold … for an isv
• Various Elements
• Support - Reduced number of vendors lowering support costs for
ISV (1 stop support below your IP: better customer experience)
• (For example If you have Redhat linux and Vmware for Virtualization
you’ll need a conference call)
COGS -Oracle pricing … metrics ISV application licensing
2 CPU or more all you need … means significant < price
savings no licence charge/< support
100 Oracle Example - Red Hat
Servers Oracle Linux Premier Support (unlimited sockets, unlimited virtual guests)- $2,299 per server
Red Hat Premium Support
(4 Socket-System, unlimited virtual guests) - $6,498
Management Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c and Ops Center included with Premier support
License - $0 Support - $0
Ksplice - Zero down time $0
Red Hat Network License+Support -
$13,500
2 Modules/Server - $192
2 Modules for 100 servers - $19,200 Total: $32, 700
Total Cost (Annual)
$91,960 (Isv price) (60% discount) $682,500
Total Cost (3 Years)
$275,880 $2,047,500

COGS Pricing: Red Hat Add-ons (4 Socket
Server)
Red Hat add-on Oracle — included Extra Cost

Smart Management Management Pack for Linux $1,642

• Existing Red Hat customers ( isvs )do not need to re-install Linux
• Switch to Oracle Linux in just minutes (isvs get 1 csi and can include
our T&C’s in their agreements etc )

What is Premier Backporting?
• Traditional Backporting = A specific bug fix produced for the latest version of a
package may be retroactively created and introduced as part of an earlier
release or update level (e.g. a bug fix released in RHEL5 or Oracle Linux 5 is
also released as part of RHEL4 or Oracle Linux 4)
• Only Oracle offers Premier Backporting, which goes far beyond traditional
backporting. For example:
• Customer runs RHEL5 or Oracle Linux 5 Update 3 release and encounters a
bug;
• Although EL5 Update 4 is already released, the customer prefers not to
upgrade;
• With Premier Backporting, Oracle will provide a specific bug fix for the
version the customer is running without forcing an upgrade;
• In sharp contrast, a Red Hat support customer must wait to upgrade to the
entire Update release to get just the one bug fix they need.
• Modeled after the way we support traditional Oracle products
No pressure to upgrade to the latest Update release
Focus on Linux Testing
• Real-world regression and stress testing
• Customer-centric testing:
• Test Linux features that matter to Oracle customers
• Oracle and non-Oracle workloads (e.g. backup) running
concurrently
• Adverse conditions (low memory, low disk space, etc.)
• Long, continuously running stress tests (detect memory
leaks)
• Check for performance regression and degradation
Testing: Oracle Validated Configurations
• Pre-tested, validated, and supported
Linux architectures, including
• Software, hardware, storage, drivers,
networking components
• Best practices for Linux deployment
• Real-world testing of complete stack
• More than 150 configurations
published, freely available for
download

Oracle Validated Configurations offer faster Linux
deployments while lowering infrastructure costs
