Will I be guaranteed resources?

What’s in it for me?

Does my ISV have virtualization-friendly support and licensing policies?

The Trend Is Clear…

In a recent Gartner poll, 73% of customers claimed to use x86 virtualization for mission critical applications in productionSource: Gartner IOM Conference (June 2008)“Linux and Windows Server Virtualization Is Picking Up Steam” (ID Number: G00161702)

Oracle Support for VMwareYes! Oracle has a support statement for VMwareOracle Metalink (MyOracleSupport) 249212.1 defines Oracle’s VMware support policyOracle Support Policy is not the same as Oracle Sales/Marketing• Some Oracle & 3rd-party marketing documents incorrectly imply that Oracle

does not support VMware• What matters: What the Support organization will do when you call

Support facts:• Oracle RAC “expressly not supported” • Oracle will accepts SRs on VMware for bugs already known to Oracle• Oracle may accept SRs on VMware for bugs that are not seen by Oracle as

being caused by virtualization• Oracle maintains (as most ISVs do) right to require physical reproduction if

they suspect VMware is “at fault”
