Oracle VM Hard Partitioning Paper:http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/virtualization/pdf/ovm-hardpart.pdf

Benefits: Allows customer to only license the

number of CPU or sockets being utilized. ($47,500 per core for DB)

Customer can save support fees by shifting from older servers to a Oracle VM partition.

Oracle DB Support on VMware

• Oracle supports their application and database on VMware

Support Position for Oracle Products Running on VMware Virtualized Environments [ID 249212.1]

• Oracle does not certify their products on VMware, only on Oracle VM

• An Oracle request to recreate problem on “bare metal” is the same point in the support esculation process for Oracle VM & VMware, etc.

• VMware offers a service to take first call support for Oracle

https://vmware.com/support/policies/oracle-support.html

Get the facts!

The vast majority of customers consolidating Oracle Database do so on VMware.
