10 Positioning for both Oracle and non-oracle applications The only x86 server virtualization software supported and certified for all Oracle software Almost no hypervisor overhead Used in Oracle s Engineered Systems (ODA, exadata, exalogic and exalytics) Can be used to limit your license cost of Oracle Products 10

11 Positioning Continued Oracle is in the Challengers quadrant. This is a significant jump above the x-axis The move into the Challengers quadrant was possible for 3 primary reasons 1) Strength of Oracle VM 3.0 2) Integrated management 3) Solid customer momentum Gartner even specifically states that Oracle VM use is growing amongst VMware customers 11

possible for 3 primary reasons 1) Strength of Oracle VM 3.

17 OVM Features (Secure) Live Migration Better known as Omotion/Vmotion SSL encryption at a button press Allows you to have Planned Downtime at ANY time 17

18 OVM Features Storage Connect Plugins Makes it possible to perform storage tasks from within the OVM manager 18

19 OVM Features DRS Optimizes virtual machine CPU/Network resource utilization in a server pool. 19

20 OVM Features DPM Used to increase the consolidation ratio of VMs into least amount of OVM Servers required. 20

21 OVM Features Anti-Affinity ensures that specific virtual machines don t run on the same OVM server. Usefull for Oracle RAC Load balancing Applications Relying on built-in redundancy of Applications 21

22 OVM Features High Availability Auto Restart on OVM Level Clusterware on OS Level RAC on Database level Requires Rac licenses 22

23 Wait, What? Oracle RAC on OVM? Really? It Works! Fully certified and supported by Oracle Oracle does it! ( ODA, Exadata) But why do it? Consolidate your RAC Servers Create Virtual Clusters for demo/test/dev Deploys fast Use Hard-Partitioning 23

24 Licensing of Oracle Products on OVM Soft-Partitioning ( default ) License largest server in the pool f.e. 10 servers in pool running 3 vm s with Oracle Enterprise Edition software => need to license 3 largest servers. Hard-Partitioning Only on OVM accepted as a way to limit licenses Works by pinning CPU s to specific VM s Loose the ability to Live Migrate, use DRS or DPM 24

25 OVM Roadmap What s new? Open Public Beta for OVM Support for Oracle VM Server for SPARC Health Monitoring & Statistics from within Manager Enhanced OVM Manager CLI and Web Services API MySQL Database Support Updated Dom0 Kernel in Oracle VM Server for x86 Lots of other improvements 25
