Oracle and Citrix XenServer
Deliver Oracle Applications on High-Performance Virtual Machines
 |
Simple deployment and improved TCO
Due to the demanding nature of Oracle application development and deployment, it is increasingly important to ensure that an infrastructure provides substantial time-to-market and TCO improvements. With Citrix XenServer server virtualization software, businesses running Oracle applications can increase their server and storage utilization, reduce costs of equipment, power, cooling, and real estate, and improve ease of deployment and improving overall TCO.
Protection from interruption
Oracle databases and applications provide mission-critical software foundations for the majority of large enterprises worldwide. The management information of XenServer is stored redundantly across managed servers, making the resource pool resilient in the face of failure of any one system. Workloads on a failed system can be restarted quickly on any other available server, dramatically reducing any Oracle application downtime. Virtual machines can be migrated to other physical servers without interruption of service, eliminating scheduled downtime.
Simplified management
XenServer enables customers to enhance their implementation of Oracle applications by deploying these applications on virtual machines hosted on XenServer. The powerful provisioning capabilities make enterprise virtualization simpler and it is possible to deliver new servers hosting Oracle services in minutes, with efficient use of storage resources. Using XenServer, companies can deliver Oracle applications on high-performance virtual machines quickly and easily, and manage them and their related storage and networking resources from a single easy-to-use management console called XenCenter.
