The following is intended to outline our general product direction. It is intended
for information purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any contract.
It is not a commitment to deliver any material, code, or functionality, and
should not be relied upon in making purchasing decisions. The development,
release, and timing of any features or functionality described for Oracle’s
products remains at the sole discretion of Oracle.
Safe Harbor Statement
Traditional Datacenter Silos
Traditional virtualization infrastructure:
Storage & Network: Consolidated servers
with local / direct, static and inflexible
connections
Resource Management: no dynamic
resource management / automation
Admin / Operations Model: Traditional
(sysadmins, storage admins, network react to
tickets to provision VMs, storage, network…)
VM & Application Provisioning: manual
creation & deployment (e.g. no appliances)
Chargeback Model: Traditional, e.g. static,
user-owned physical servers

I need to add new
features to our
product now.
I need to make sure
my environment is
compatible
QA needs access to new
storage, change database
configuration….
I don’t have time to stage
a cluster environment to
test
Is the new app
compatible?
I can’t afford the
downtime
IT needs to roll out app
ASAP.
Too many
dependencies, how do I
ensure the proper
application
configuration

Ready for OpenStack
OpenStack With Oracle Linux and Oracle VM
Interoperability
• Help make OpenStack a first class solution for
enterprise customers
• Work with the OpenStack community to
support enterprise applications in an
OpenStack cloud
• Provide choice for managing hypervisors with
Oracle Linux and Oracle VM
• Ensure Oracle Linux and Oracle VM can work
with any OpenStack solution customers
choose
• Work with third party vendors to offer joint
solutions

Network Virtualization Today
Corente
SDN Platform to Deliver Cloud Services
• WAN virtualization platform that enables rapid deployment of distributed and cloud-based applications and services
• Provision and manage global private networks connecting to any site, over any IP network, in a secure, centralized,
and simple manner.
Typical IT Application Bring-up Process
• 2-3 wks App Bring-up Time
• Many network related elements
involved in process
• Error-prone manual steps
• Network/Network Security
Compliance, Regulation and best
practice
Need to simplify and speed up this process!
What can we do with the networking stack?

Separation of control plane from the network
forwarding plane
i.e. Configuration state computation of FIB, ACL etc not
co-located with forwarding plane ASIC
• Multi-tenant Overlay virtual networks
Flexible, Scalable and Secure
Scale beyond 4K VLANs
• Programmatic API abstraction for configuration and
management of virtual networks/network services
• Application/Service-driven network virtualization
Provide distributed/virtualized L4-L7 network services
