Take Your Oracle Database Virtual with VMware Converter
Oracle Database software reigns supreme when it comes to managing mission-critical database infrastructure. Vast amounts of square footage of rack space are devoted to servers running Oracle database management software. But what about an IT organization that wants to implement a cloud solution and reduce their reliance on such large hardware commitments? How can they migrate their databases to a virtual environment and still maintain the reliability and performance of their current physical Oracle environments?
In short, they should migrate to Oracle on VMware. VMware, the leading virtualization and closed-based solution provider, is the number one choice for running Oracle databases in a virtual environment. VMware makes the sharing of virtual computing resources across local and remote machines a cost-effective alternative to standard physical environments. Virtualization of computing resources provide competitive advantages for businesses looking to reduce infrastructure costs and to be able to more quickly adjust to changing business needs.
Oracle on VMware provides businesses with both the benefits of an Oracle database environment and a virtualization platform that delivers computing resources within a cloud-based platform.
