More Than 8,500 Customers and Growing Rely on Oracle Linux Support

Exadata Customers running Oracle Linux

BT has decided that Linux is the way forward for all our major applications. BT chose Oracle Linux over Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We have hundreds of servers continually growing with Oracle Linux installed. So any new services that use Linux that will be built -- any of the new servers -- will have Oracle Linux installed on it. Surren Partabh Chief Technology Officer, British Telecom

When choosing support - traditional Unix Vendor vs. Linux Vendor Traditional Unix Vendor Develops and tests hardware and OS together Oracle knowledge in development, QA, and support Tests entire Oracle stack (hardware, OS, and Oracle Database) Linux Vendor Develops OS only No Oracle expertise, staff Limited testing of OS only Provides fixes for OS version customer runs Customer encouraged to upgrade to latest release plus fix

Oracle Linux: Summary Choice of two kernels Red Hat Compatible Kernel Oracle s Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Both kernels open source and are free to download; Difference is in functionality Support pricing is same for both Oracle Unbreakable Linux Support Program Oracle recommends using the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel

Why Oracle Linux is a great solution for isvs covering reducing COGS and other reasons 1. Reduced COGS = cost of good sold for an isv Various Elements Support - Reduced number of vendors lowering support costs for ISV (1 stop support below your IP: better customer experience) (For example If you have Redhat linux and Vmware for Virtualization you ll need a conference call)

COGS -Oracle pricing metrics ISV application licensing 2 CPU or more all you need means significant < price savings no licence charge/< support 100 Oracle Example - Red Hat Servers Oracle Linux Premier Support (unlimited sockets, unlimited virtual guests)- $2,299 per server Red Hat Premium Support (4 Socket-System, unlimited virtual guests) - $6,498 Management Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c and Ops Center included with Premier support License - $0 Support - $0 Ksplice - Zero down time $0 Red Hat Network License+Support - $13,500 2 Modules/Server - $192 2 Modules for 100 servers - $19,200 Total: $32, 700 RELEASES $1,77m OVER 3 years for ISV Total Cost (Annual) Total Cost (3 Years) $91,960 (Isv price) (60% discount) $682,500 $275,880 $2,047,500 Source: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/purchasing_guide.html

COGS Pricing: Red Hat Add-ons (4 Socket Server) Red Hat add-on Oracle included Extra Cost High Availability Oracle Clusterware $399/socket-pair Load Balancer Oracle Clusterware $199/socket-pair Resilient Storage OCFS2 $799/socket-pair Scalable File System OCFS2 or ext4 1 High Performance Network OFED stack Smart Management Management Pack for Linux $1,642 $199/socket-pair $399/socket-pair Total $0 $5,632 1) ext4 in Oracle Linux 6 only Source: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/purchasing_guide.html

Cogs -Switching to Oracle Linux Existing Red Hat customers ( isvs )do not need to re-install Linux Switch to Oracle Linux in just minutes (isvs get 1 csi and can include our T&C s in their agreements etc ) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Done Purchase support or use the Public Yum Register for ULN account via linux.oracle.com/register Download and install ULN then register your system You start getting your Linux updates from Oracle! 31

Cogs Linux Premier Support gives you Zero Downtime Updates with Ksplice ( unique feature) Ksplice lets you install important kernel updates with: No downtime No disruption No rebooting While applications are running Only Oracle Linux offers this capability Ksplice Zero Downtime Updates Available to Oracle Linux Premier Support Customers; No additional Cost

Other reasons to adopt Oracle Linux Support Enterprise-class support for the Linux operating system with premier backports, comprehensive management, indemnification, testing and more all at significantly lower cost. 24x7 global coverage, 145 countries, 27 local languages Dedicated engineering and delivery team Backed by world s largest support team Enterprise-quality, Lower cost Service Excellence in Integrated Services (TSIA) 2008 Service Excellence in Mission Critical Support Award (SSPA)

What is Premier Backporting? Traditional Backporting = A specific bug fix produced for the latest version of a package may be retroactively created and introduced as part of an earlier release or update level (e.g. a bug fix released in RHEL5 or Oracle Linux 5 is also released as part of RHEL4 or Oracle Linux 4) Only Oracle offers Premier Backporting, which goes far beyond traditional backporting. For example: Customer runs RHEL5 or Oracle Linux 5 Update 3 release and encounters a bug; Although EL5 Update 4 is already released, the customer prefers not to upgrade; With Premier Backporting, Oracle will provide a specific bug fix for the version the customer is running without forcing an upgrade; In sharp contrast, a Red Hat support customer must wait to upgrade to the entire Update release to get just the one bug fix they need. Modeled after the way we support traditional Oracle products No pressure to upgrade to the latest Update release

Focus on Linux Testing Real-world regression and stress testing Customer-centric testing: Test Linux features that matter to Oracle customers Oracle and non-oracle workloads (e.g. backup) running concurrently Adverse conditions (low memory, low disk space, etc.) Long, continuously running stress tests (detect memory leaks) Check for performance regression and degradation

Testing: Oracle Validated Configurations Pre-tested, validated, and supported Linux architectures, including Software, hardware, storage, drivers, networking components Best practices for Linux deployment Real-world testing of complete stack More than 150 configurations published, freely available for download oracle.com/linux Oracle Database Fusion Middleware Oracle Linux Oracle VM Server Storage Oracle Validated Configurations offer faster Linux deployments while lowering infrastructure costs
