  1. Laurent Sandrolini Vice President Systems Platform Division Oracle Corporation

  2. UNIX/RISC Adoption Rates Mass-market enterprise Broadly available skill set No references required Medium-touch Experienced implementers Broader skill set Easier reference High-touch Pioneering implementation Hard to find skill set Detailed reference

  3. Skill Set Dispossession Early 1990’s MVS, VM, VSE, VAX/VMS Unix/RISC • Required skill set transfer, from mainframe skill sets • Very expensive process • Took a decade to complete

  4. Proposed Dispossession Late 1990’s Unix/RISC Windows Server • Compelling low-cost x86 architecture • Move to a Windows Server platform • Repeat of expensive skill set transformation

  5. Proposed Retention Early 2000’s Unix/RISC Linux/x86 • Take advantage of low-cost x86 platform • Retain skill set investment • Leverage existing skill-set to lower cost deployment

  6. Linux Adoption Rates Mass-market enterprise Broadly available skill set No references required Medium-touch Experienced implementers Broader skill set Easier reference High-touch Pioneering implementation Hard to find skill set Detailed reference

  7. Rapid Rate Catalysts • True enterprise-class support • No skill set dispossession • Deployment on low-cost commodity infrastructure • Higher consolidation vs. Unix/RISC fragmentation • True choice in supplier of the O/S and hardware • A complete ecosystem around Linux

  8. Linux at Oracle Dedicated Linux Kernel Development Oracle R&D Applications + 10g =1,000’s engineers Oracle On Demand 600+ Linux systems Deployed Hardened Linux Solutions Global IT 2/3 of systems migrated to Linux Dedicated Linux Program Office

  9. Mainframe Departmental Servers Client-Server Internet Computing Evolution of IT

  10. “Today’s IT shops are criminally inefficient, running assets at a small fraction of their capacity.” Frank E. Gillett Forrester Research, October 2002

  11. “CIO’s report that server utilization is only 60%” - Forrester Research “75% of costs come from staffing & maintenance.” - Business Week “IT infrastructure is massively underutilized” - IDC “Companies can save 20% or more through consolidation” - Giga Research The Experts on IT Today…

  12. Traditional Deployments New application identified New system uniquely sized and configured + = Unique System 1 Unique System 2 Unique System 3 Unique System 4

  13. Traditional Deployments New application identified New system uniquely sized and configured + = Unique System 1 Unique System 2 Unique System 3 Unique System 4

  14. Problems with IT • Islands of computation • Configured for peak loads • Limited scalability • Availability < 99.x% • Fragmented security • Escalating costs • Affects all businesses • Decentralized management

  15. GRID The True Linux Opportunity

  16. New Opportunity:Standard Building Blocks Old Question: What size server does this new application need and what is the best server and O/S combination? New Question: How many standard building blocks does this new application need? 2 Processor 4 Processor 4 Node Cluster

  17. The True Linux Opportunity • Change the entire deployment model • Identification of standards consolidation as a true cost inhibitor • Driving the commoditization of the hardware platform • Delivering a lower operational cost to our customers

  18. Unique Convergence • Low-cost, high performing processors from Intel and AMD • Maturing and development investment in Linux • Clustering product offerings from Oracle • Global, enterprise-class support from Oracle • New deployment model with opportunity to provide leadership

  19. Oracle’s Leadership • Oracle Real Application Clusters • Unique clustering technology allowing any application to scale across a clustered architecture • Linux development and support model • Unique code-level support across the entire software stack – apps, database and O/S • 10gand enterprise grid with grid control • Automatic provisioning and deployment of compute resources to a specific task

  20. Foundation for the Grid isOracle on Linux
