Oracle will continue investing in both Solaris and Linux operating systems. It will optimize both OSes for applications through disk and deliver world-class support at the lowest total cost of ownership. Oracle's virtualization strategy offers comprehensive virtualization from desktop to data center, including Oracle VM Server, Oracle VM VirtualBox, and Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

14. <Insert Picture Here>
Jason Williams
CIO, DigiTar
“Solaris provides a couple of key
advantages over any other OS. One is just
the base reliability of the operating system
with storage, things like retrying I/Os. But on
top of that there’s two key technologies that,
frankly, you can’t get anywhere else…
That’s MPXIO for multipath I/O and the
other is ZFS.”
15. <Insert Picture Here>
Brad Forrester
Systems Operations Manager
Siteworx, Inc.
“We estimate that Solaris Containers
have been able to give us the
equivalent memory and processing
power of ten virtual servers on every
physical server. That’s resulted in an
80% reduction in space requirements
and 65% savings in energy costs.”
