Virtualization Changes the Game

• Rapid Deployment using Grid techniques and Oracle
  VM
• Massive elasticity responding to real-world
  demands

15
Case Study Oracle University

• With Grid
• 1/6th the hardware
• CPU utilization increased from 7 to 73
• Revenue per server increased 5X
• Servers to administrator ratio increased 10X

Customer concerns

• Does Linux scale?
• yes it does
• Use Linux in Mission Critical environments?yes
  it can be, it is by many customers today,
  worldwide
• Use Linux not just for middle-tier apps but also
  database apps?yes it is, today, by many
  customers, worldwide
• How to deal with small building blocks becoming
  large smp systems ? (HPC workloads)
• virtualization can help

40
Linux OS/distribution issues remaining

• Upgrades of full OS releases requires re-install
• Distribution is collection of 1000s of packages
• owner of package might not care about upgrades
• Diagnostics and debugging
• finally solve things like systemtap/utrace...
• Modern new features
• things like new filesystems, ability to handle
  new hardware (SSD, new network features etc)
• Stability testing and predictability for upgrades
• Just Enough OS / gold images or templates will
  help
• go back to basics of a core installation
• OS version independent package sets on top
