Safe Harbor Statement

Agenda

• Oracle Linux• Oracle Virtualization

Linux Strategy

• The best performing, most modern and reliable Linux OS• Influence Linux roadmap upstream via direct code contributions• Track mainline closely• Highest value, enterprise-class support• Deployment best practices: full stack tested with real-world

workloads• Lower cost• Comprehensive legal indemnification

• Latest Linux Innovations, Real World Testing and Unix-like Support

Oracle Linux

• A comprehensive offering – Enterprise class support, training, and consulting services– The only Linux you need: run all your x86 hardware and software

• Compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux– Customers can switch in minutes – no reinstall is needed

• Featuring the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel– Fast, modern, reliable, optimized for Oracle

• Oracle’s Linux choice– Runs in Exadata, Exalogic, Exalytics, and the Big Data Appliance– Oracle does not develop or test with any other Linux

The only Linux Oracle recommends for Oracle software

More Than 8,000 Customers…and GrowingRely on Oracle Linux Support

Mismatch in Expectations

Traditional Unix Vendor Linux Vendor

• Hardware and OS developed and tested together

• Develops OS only

• Oracle knowledge in development, QA, and support

• No Oracle expertise, staff

• Tests entire Oracle stack • Limited testing of OS only

• Provides fixes for OS version customer runs • Customer encouraged to upgrade to latest release plus fix

Oracle Linux Premier Support• True Enterprise Support for Linux

• Premier backports - fixes for the OS version you run; no forced upgrades

• Single number to call for the entire stack

• Zero downtime diagnostic and security patches for the Linux kernel via Ksplice*

• Comprehensive Indemnification without Financial Limits

• Dedicated, Global Linux Support Team

• Backed by 28 global support centers, speaking 29 local languages across 145 countries

• Lower Overall Costs

• Integrated management and monitoring tools

• Free server lifecycle management and clustering software

• Included in Oracle Premier Support for Systems on Oracle x86 servers

* there may be rare cases where this is not technically feasible

Focus on Linux Testing

• Dedicated Linux QA team

• 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

Oracle Product QA Farm on Oracle Linux

• Test entire Database, Fusion Middleware, Enterprise Manager, Fusion Applications

• 128,000 compute hours/day testing Oracle products on Oracle Linux– 75,000 hours on x86-64

• Nearly 40,000 Linux systems

Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel

• Assured Linux Innovation– Combines Oracle and community Linux enhancements– Tested constantly by Oracle in automated test farms

• First released last year– Benchmarked 75% faster than our Red Hat compatible kernel– Advanced NUMA support– Hardware fault management and Data Integrity – stops data corruption

• Extreme performance for Exadata, Exalogic, and Exalytics

• Fast, Modern, Reliable, Optimized for Oracle

The best Linux kernel for every server workload

Beta (roadmap): Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2

• Even faster at scale– Improved scheduler for high thread count applications– Transmit packet steering across CPUs for lower latency– Transparent huge pages for memory intensive workloads

• Linux Containers– Low overhead O/S isolation and resource management

• Btrfs– Huge file systems, built in data integrity, compression, snapshots, online defragmentation,

upgrade in place

• DTrace – Comprehensive dynamic tracing framework

Security update released

…Days (weeks?) later …And hours later

Negotiate outage window with business owner

Shut down app server and databases

Apply Linux update

Restart it all and sanity check

Updates applied and tested but

Systems vulnerable for days or weeks

Significant application downtime

The Kernel Patching ProblemDisruption, Downtime and Delay

Problem SOLVED with Oracle LinuxZero Downtime Patching through Ksplice

Transformed into a zero downtime update

Oracle produces a normal kernel update

Client

Loaded into the Unbreakable Linux Network

Update downloaded and applied to running customer systems – no downtime
