Discover Why Oracle Delivers More Value Than VMware

	IT needs are evolving. Data centers are becoming service centers Enterprises need greater optimization and efficiency Requirements are going beyond simple consolidation and provisioning of systems Hypervisor technology and traditional virtualization are no longer enough Cloud computing is driving the need for full stack, integrated application provisioning and management. To achieve this, a virtualization solution must be [url=]application-driven[/url]. Only Oracle delivers the industry’s most complete and integrated virtualization. View the Webcastto hear Oracle executives discuss how Oracle Virtualization delivers more value than VMware.

	Top Reasons Why Oracle Delivers More Value than VMware
	Reason Oracle VMware Resources 1. Application-Driven Oracle offers a complete applications-to-disk stack, and virtualization is fully integrated across all layers Oracle's virtualization solutions are aware of what’s running inside the virtual machine and can provision and manage applications, middleware, and databases VMware's virtualization/ hypervisor has no awareness of the database, middleware, and applications running inside it Demo: Application-Driven Virtualization Webcast: Server Virtualization: Aligned with Your Data Center Strategy Analyst Webcast:Virtualization Trends 2. Lower Cost Unlike VMware, Oracle VM is free to download, use, and distribute Affordable support fees Simple licensing High cost of ownership Very high license, support, and management costs Complex licensing TCO Calculator: Oracle VM vs. VMware vSphere Oracle VM Pricing Guide (PDF) 3. Scalability Oracle VM 3.0 is 4 Times More Scalable than VMware with support for 128 vCPUs per guest VM VMware vSphere 5 only supports 32 vCPUs per guest VM White Paper: Oracle VM 3 Architecture and Technical Overview(PDF) 4. Integrated Management Full stack management Manages the hypervisor, physical server, and the applications running in it Multiple vendor tools needed for managing the hypervisor and what’s running inside it Webcast: Managing Virtual Environments Demo: Application-Driven Virtualization 5. Accelerating Application Deployment Oracle VM Templates offer pre-installed, pre-configured virtual machines of enterprise software including CRM, ERP, clustering, and management, enabling you to deploy in minutes and hours as opposed to days and weeks Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder makes it easier to package multi-tier applications and then deploy them with the click of a button Best practices for accelerating deployment of complete virtual infrastructure via Oracle VM Reference Configurations Virtual appliances are via a communitymarketplace, not vendor supported White Paper: Creating and Using Oracle VM Templates (PDF) Demo: Rapid Application Deployment using Oracle VM White Paper: Discover how Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder can help you create, configure, and deploy multi-tier application assemblies (PDF) White Paper:Accelerating Infrastructure Deployment with the Oracle VM Blade Reference Configuration (PDF) 6. High Availability Oracle offers high availability for the entire stack—not just the hypervisor level Oracle views clustering and virtualization as complementary technologies Oracle VM customers can achieve additional high availability from using Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) High availability is only at the hypervisor level; VMware is completely unaware of application crashes White Paper: Oracle Real Application Clusters in Oracle VM Environments (PDF) White Paper: Using Oracle Clusterware to Protect Oracle VM Manager (PDF) Webcast: Best Practices for Virtualizing Oracle Database 11g 7. Architected for Efficiency Architected for low overhead when moving from physical to virtual servers Aggressive testing with real Oracle Database and application workloads Oracle has a single engineering team for Linux and Oracle VM, leading to better optimization between Xen and Linux Architecture is prone to inefficiency See the Oracle VM Benchmark Performance Report from The Tolly Group Univa Technical Benchmark Study with Unicloud and Oracle VM 8. Integrated Support One call to Oracle; no finger pointing at another vendor Full stack is certified and supported Faster time to resolution Need to deal with numerous vendors for the complete stack and management See what customers are saying about the value of integrated support: Interactive One Johns Hopkins Applied Physic Lab Pella Corporation 9. Virtualization Built into the System In addition to Oracle VM, Oracle offers virtualization built into its hardware and the Oracle Solaris operating system Oracle Solaris Containers and Oracle VM for SPARC allows multiple applications to be run on a single system Dynamic Domains are included in SPARC Enterprise M-Series servers, enabling greater hardware utilization and providing a high level of isolation from other domains Only offers x86 virtualization Webcast: Overview of Solaris and SPARC Virtualization Get more information on Oracle Solaris Containers Get more information on SPARC Systems Oracle VM support is included at no additional charge with Sun x86 systems 10. Comprehensive Platform Support Oracle VM is available for both x86 and SPARC architectures Only x86 platform is supported Get the latest information on Oracle Virtualization
