Oracle Linux 7: Optimizing Deployment Flexibility and Increasing ROI

Excelente White Paper sobre Oracle Linux 7: http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/oracle-linux-7-wp-2524153.pdf

Oracle is the only vendor in the industry that offers a complete Linux-based solution stack—applications, middleware, database, management tools, operating system and hardware—along with a single point of support. Customers that deploy Oracle Linux benefit greatly from the latest Linux innovations as well as rigorous testing with real world workloads.

As this paper describes, IT organizations that standardize on Oracle Linux have a number of deployment options from which to choose. With the advent of new advances in open source technologies, IT departments can deploy applications more quickly using lightweight Linux Containers and Docker images, or combine these approaches to improve application isolation, resource control, and rapid provisioning. Traditional virtualization using Oracle VM can
be an optimal approach for Tier 1 applications or when application requirements dictate the need for multiple operating systems. To deliver applications as private cloud services, Oracle OpenStack technology may be an ideal approach in conjunction with Oracle VM.
