Oracle today
announced new Oracle
Exalogic Elastic Cloud Oracle VM Templates for several Oracle Applications,
which encapsulate the best application deployment practices based on years of
expertise with more than 70,000 Oracle Applications customers.
Oracle Exalogic
Oracle VM Templates are now available for the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1, Oracle's PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 and Oracle's Siebel CRM 8.1.1.8 and 8.2.2. These are the first
Oracle VM templates
specifically built for Oracle Exalogic, adding to the Oracle VM Templates already available for dozens of Oracle
products.
Each Oracle Application has been tested, validated, benchmarked and
optimized on Oracle Exalogic by the Oracle Applications engineering teams for
extreme performance. Oracle Exalogic provides a secure, reliable, open
standards-based platform for consolidating Oracle, Java and third-party business
applications.
Oracle Exalogic Oracle VM Templates
for Oracle Applications can help companies:
- Decrease application deployment time
to minutes, instead of weeks
- Speed patching with pre-built
templates for Oracle Application patchsets
- Consolidate business applications on
Oracle Exalogic, leading to higher hardware
utilization
Customers can also use Oracle Exalogic
Oracle VM Templates for Oracle Applications to reduce the cost and complexity of
Oracle Application deployments by:
- Deploying Oracle Applications
components at the click of a button
- Consolidating business-critical
applications onto a fully virtualized environment
- Aligning application resources with
business demand through self-service private cloud capabilities, providing up to
10x faster application deployment using
Oracle Enterprise
Manager 12c.
- Creating golden images for faster
deployments, as well as for archiving, cloning and re-distribution
purposes
Oracle VM Templates are
virtual machine images based on Oracle's expertise and best practices that
contain pre-built, pre-installed, pre-configured and ready-to-run software
applications with no installation required. They can be downloaded from Oracle
E-Delivery and deployed on Oracle Exalogic.
Oracle Exalogic X3-2, the latest
product generation, delivers 3.5x better application performance, 4.4x faster
web application requests per second and a 4.6x improvement in messages per
second compared to the previous generation, all for the same
price.
"Oracle Exalogic has been engineered
from the ground up to run business applications and middleware with less
complexity and lower total cost of ownership," said
Hasan Rizvi, executive vice president, Oracle. "Oracle Exalogic Oracle VM
Templates for Oracle Applications take advantage of Oracle's integrated hardware
and software stack to deliver the predictable, low-risk deployment process that
our customers need for their multi-tier, business-critical applications, in
either a conventional or cloud deployment model."
"Oracle Exalogic and
Oracle VM Templates for Oracle Applications enable PeopleSoft customers to
easily consolidate multiple application pillars onto a shared, centrally managed
Oracle Exalogic private cloud. The templates provide superfast software-based
application scalability during peak usage times by allowing customers to create
additional server instances within minutes and dramatically reduce the cost of
patching by simply swapping server virtual machines with new ones delivered by
Oracle. This in turn enables PeopleSoft customers to implement the latest
application innovations while controlling costs, maximizing efficiency and
achieving a rapid return on their IT investments," said Paco Aubrejuan, senior
vice president and general manager, Oracle's PeopleSoft Applications.
