  1. Benefits of virtualizing the OC/RDC Platform Hakim Rachidi & Nicolas Bergmann

  2. Abstract In this presentation you will see how Quintiles has benefited from migrating the entire OC/RDC Platform from Physical to Virtual using the Oracle VM Technology.  The migration provides an Oracle Clinical RDC environment as a service as well as reducing the cost. We will explain why the Oracle VM Hypervisor with Oracle Enterprise Linux Guests connected to an LDAP Server, is the best choice compared to an Hardware solution to be Cloud ready. This eliminates physical database servers and physical application servers. Performance is always a challenge.  We will demonstrate the benefit of balancing transactional activity versus reporting and exports through the usage of Oracle Data Guard.  We will summarize how the combination of a Mutualized environment with Fast Provisioning can easily address current and future business needs by following the Oracle Certification Matrix.
