A Few Good Reasons for Migrating from SUSE Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux [30628]
Choose the Corporate Development Standard (It's Cheaper and Offers Unique Features)
Michele Casey argues that among the most compelling reasons for migrating from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) to Oracle Linux are that Oracle Linux is the corporate Linux standard for all development groups at Oracle. Second, the cost of a subscription to Oracle Linux Basic Support is $1,199 annually per server; for a SLES Priority, 4-socket Virtual Subscription: $3,878 annually per server. Toss in free access to all bug and security errata on Oracle's public yum repositories; Oracle Database Smart Flash Cache; and the reduction in downtime afforded by Oracle Linux Premier Support subscriptions with Ksplice, Casey notes.

A Technical Overview of the Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Exadata Storage Server [28396]
Oracle White Paper Outlines the Benefits of Implementing Exadata Database Machine
The Oracle white paper "A Technical Overview of the Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Exadata Storage Server" explains that its implementation will allow users to accelerate database performance, exploit its scalability and consolidation features, and deliver mission-critical data availability and protection. The purpose-built Exadata Database Machine delivers the utmost performance for all database workloads: OLTP, data warehousing, and mixed, consolidated workloads. Easy to deploy, the Exadata Database Machine includes all the hardware the Oracle Database requires. The unique technology incorporated in the scale-out architecture of the Exadata Database Machine enables offloads of data-intensive SQL operations into the Oracle Exadata Storage Servers.

Oracle Introduces Exadata X3 Database In-Memory Machine [27906]
Eighth-rack Configuration Offers Low-cost Entry Point
Oracle has announced the latest in its family of Oracle Exadata Database Machines: the Oracle Exadata X3 Database In-Memory Machine, which, with its eighth-rack configuration, is ideal for high-end OLTP, large data warehouses, and database clouds at a low-cost entry point. Oracle Exadata X3-2 Database In-Memory Machine and Oracle Exadata X3-8 Database In-Memory Machine can store up to hundreds of terabytes (TB) of compressed user data in Flash and RAM memory, virtually eliminating the performance overhead of reads and writes to slow disk drives and making Exadata X3 systems the ideal database platforms for the workloads of cloud computing.

Two More Oracle Linux Options [26457]
Smart Flash Cache and cgroups
Oracle Linux offers users two additional new features that Wim Coekaerts neglected to include in an earlier post, which are Oracle Database Smart Flash Cache (DBSFC) and assigning a conrol group (cgroup) in Oracle Linux to an Oracle database instance. DBSFC allows users to extend the Oracle Buffer Cache in memory (SGA) using secondary flash based storage, Coekaerts writes The cgroup feature lets users create resource groupings based on cpu, memory or disk parameters (or a combination), according to Coekaerts. cgroups is also the internal set of features that Linux containers (lxc) uses.
