Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

Oracle Linux is the best flavor for us and our customers because all Oracle products are supported and have excellent support for any product, such as database, middleware, and Oracle Engineering Systems. The principal cause for us is your capability for cluster environment and the use of Ksplice for updates on the kernel without rebooting on the server. For database environments, several rpm packages on OEL Channel are available to archive the preparation environment during install and configure steps and accept in all IT environments on the companies.
  • Database environment.
  • Kernel updates using Ksplice.
  • Cluster for Middleware using own Oracle rootkit.
  • Easy to manager.
  • Easy to install.
  • Support for MPP environments.
  • Improvements for KVM virtualization.
  • Manage for large memory servers.
  • Excellent global support.
  • Only this distribution can use Kplice for production environments.
  • Secure and faster.
  • Easy for SysAdmin Teams.
  • Fast to track and learn about it, many blog posts available and white papers.

For all these products, the Oracle Linux is supported and keeps up to date in private or public channels packages for the update to keep your secure environment. For team management, any professional that has your first contact on Linux world gets fastly work on this platform and execute your admin tasks.
The Linux global support attends to all my expectations and solves my problems when necessary for any level of Service request since used with databases or middleware apps.
