Virtualizing Oracle with VMware

Much has been written about the benefits of virtualization. However, do these benefits apply to very large, mission critical applications such as Oracle Databases?

In November 2011, Aberdeen surveyed 100 enterprises that are using Oracle databases to find out if they have virtualized their deployment, how they did it and what benefits they received. Join us as Dick Csaplar, Senior Research Analyst for Aberdeen, shares the results of this survey and provides insights as to how enterprises are using "best in class" techniquest to successfully virtualizing their Oracle landscapes.

Virtualizing Oracle solutions -- including databases, RAC, WebLogic and enterprise apps -- can pose unique challenges. But VMware makes it faster and easier for customers like IPC The Hospitalist Company, which delivers management services to hospitalist practices operating in more than 500 facilities, to successfully virtualize their Oracle infrastructure.

Join us for this webcast as we discuss when and how to virtualize Oracle solutions using VMware technology. Nick Howell, Datacenter Engineer at IPC The Hospitalist Company, will share his experience deploying VMware vSphere in IPC's environment and virtualizing their Oracle databases. He will also talk about the benefits that vSphere has brought to his internal customers.

Although the benefits of virtualization are well established, some companies have stopped short of virtualizing their business-critical applications. Uncover the truth about how you can virtualize business-critical applications and achieve benefits such as faster migration to new hardware and faster application upgrades.
