Oracle onthult volgende generatie Virtual Compute Appliance

Nieuwste systeem biedt convergente infrastructuuroplossing voor private clouds en nagenoeg elke applicatie Nieuwssamenvatting

Om succesvol te zijn in een snel veranderende zakelijke omgeving, moeten bedrijven in staat zijn nieuwe, innovatieve applicaties in te zetten en direct te reageren op marktveranderingen. In de meeste gevallen lukt dat niet, doordat het integreren van rekencapaciteit, netwerk en storage van verschillende leveranciers en het vervolgens configureren van systemen veel tijd kost. Met de Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance stroomlijnen organisaties deze taken op basis van een enkelvoudig, geïntegreerd systeem dat is ontwikkeld om cloudservices en nagenoeg iedere applicatie te ondersteunen.

Met de Virtual Compute Appliance beschikken klanten over een convergente infrastructuuroplossing die nagenoeg alle datacenter-workloads consolideert naar een krachtig, fouttolerant platform, dat gemakkelijk groeit, veel gebruiksgemak biedt en eenvoudig te beheren is.

News Facts

• Oracle’s Virtual Compute Appliance radically simplifies the way customers install, deploy, and manage converged infrastructures for virtually any application or cloud service.
• Oracle is the only converged infrastructure vendor offering a complete, integrated solution with hardware and software engineered together.
• As a result, the Virtual Compute Appliance can significantly reduce cost and complexity with excellent performance.
• The Virtual Compute Appliance enables customers to get both Oracle and third-party applications or services up and running with minimal time spent provisioning and configuring the system.
• Application and service deployment is further streamlined by using Oracle VM templates for over 100 Oracle software packages which can reduce deployment from days to hours and minutes.
• Customers can consolidate Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux, other Linux distributions, and Microsoft Windows applications onto one platform with the Virtual Compute Appliance.
• The Virtual Compute Appliance is an ideal platform for cloud, supporting Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and database as a service (DBaaS) deployments, with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c.
• Many customers are already using the Virtual Compute Appliance to offer private cloud services to clients who use Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Hyperion, Oracle Database and other Windows applications.
• For added investment protection, the Virtual Compute Appliance can accommodate business growth by expanding one server at a time and mixing server generations in the same base rack.
