What is your primary use case for Oracle VM?

Our clients primarily use Oracle VM for test databases, web, and application services. It serves as a versatile tool in our top solutions.

We primarily use it in our PCI industry solutions and for Oracle middleware, which connects applications to Oracle databases and provides web services.

We use it for the integration part, as a jump host, or to create an ABS VM for lift and shift. That's what we use it for. I'm just involved in providing VMs; application testing and development are handled by a different department.

We mostly use the solution for Oracle products, middleware, and databases.

We use the solution to deliver the correct license validation for the Oracle database. They advised us to use the Oracle VM for some environments.

I use Oracle VM in my company mainly for simple things, not heavy stuff. In general, Oracle VM mainly helps with the monitoring of different servers.

It is designed for enterprise-level virtualization, offering features such as live migration, high availability, and centralized management.

Oracle VM is an alternative solution for VMware and ESXi and is a low-cost proposition. Oracle VM is free in my facility.

Our customers use the solution for database and service applications.

We primarily use it for ERP in virtual environments.

The solution is a suite of products so it depends on the needs of the client.

We are a consulting company and one of the solutions that we assist our clients with is Oracle VM. I work with several different clients and they have different use cases.

I handle both sales and technical. We also sell cloud technology, so I do a lot of extensive work on cloud implementation. We are Oracle Gold partners. We do a lot of deployments around Oracle VM. We are core in Oracle infrastructure and Oracle banking. When I say Oracle infrastructure, I'm looking at the x86 servers, also the SPARC servers. When you look at infrastructure, these not only carry the servers themselves, we look at the virtualization technology, which is definitely Oracle VM, both on SPARC and on x86. Recently, we have been doing a kind of mix where the customer wants Dell and Oracle x86 VM. I have done this deployment for an insurance company, and they have a lot of insurance solutions which run on the Oracle database. They could not go for the expensive Oracle server, so they decided to go for the Dell server but now are hard partitioning Oracle VM to cut down on the cost of licenses. We have installed life insurance solutions on Oracle VM hard partitioned, and the general insurance solution is hard partitioned to focus on Oracle VM. They have a dock management system that uses Oracle database, hard partitioned also to focus on Oracle VM. They have a business intelligence solution which also uses Oracle database, also hard partitioned to Oracle VM. We have actually created the production and VR with loads of VLANs swinging through both production and VR side, all on Oracle VM. Storage is Dell Unisys storage, and then the computer is all Dell servers.

I am an Oracle Specialist and manage Oracle databases. Oracle VM is being used in test-based environments, dedicated services. Being a product expert and an engineer, I help customers work with Oracle. I have seen this solution in customer organizations that are in excess of 10,000 users.

Clients who have two or more servers and want to virtualize their processes can deploy Oracle VM, the Virtual Machine. It's comparable with something called hard partitioning so that they can comply with Oracle's licensing policies. There are other products in the market from other vendors, however, those virtualization technologies are not certified with Oracle regarding their licensing policies. Oracle VM comes with something specific called hard partitioning, which has to physically update the CPU core to virtual machines. This is very important. It allows virtual machines to comply with Oracle licensing policies. Otherwise, we can have big issues regarding product licensing.

I manage the Oracle Cloud infrastructure, including all our VMs, firewalls and load balances.

We have a data center with multiple racks. The product Oracle VM Server is deployed on two of our HP G10 servers. Comparatively this product is more flexible & reliable for oracle Applications & Databases. we have all our PROD env on this platform and It also enables us to clone an oracle app / db product for a test environment within a few minutes. We are Oracle customers and I'm the system and infrastructure Admin.

The main use case of this solution is integration. The integration of the database and compatibility with the affiliate in terms of license management. This will reduce the cost of the license. It is the same use case as vSan except that you can partition the applications and it forces you to license the processor, as opposed to the server.

We have a few servers, and I tag them to the storage. Through that, we create VMs by provisioning some RAM, CPU, and storage. The RAM and the CPU get adjusted when we buy more servers to add to the cluster. We are not using its latest version. We are yet to migrate to its latest version.

Clients are typically running Linux on Oracle VM, and then they're running Oracle databases on top of that.

We use Oracle VM for the ESX servers from NetApp. It's a product for development.

We generally recommend this solution to our customers and we deploy it for them. The solution runs on the exologic environment with multiple VMs and multiple abbreviations. In this case the solution is being used in a telecommunications company. Most of our clients are big enterprise. We partner with Oracle and I'm a senior systems support engineer.

We primarily use this solution strictly for Oracle licensed products.

The solution is primarily used for server virtualization. We have opportunities that we want to learn from. For our customers, we recommend this product. We have Oracle databases or Oracle, Linux, or Red Hat Linux to run it on a virtual machine, and Oracle VM fits perfectly into that.

We are using the virtual machine to host our databases and other applications.

I primarily use this for server virtualization. I also use it for application deployment. Oracle has a lot of templates for most of the enterprise application that they sell the market. So, it is easier to deploy those application using one Oracle VM template than actually setting up a server from scratch. Oracle VM is very handy in that a user can easily deploy the templates, pre-configures and does a few customizations within a short time-span.

My primary use of this product is for a database. I use this solution because it can work together with our other Oracle solutions.

I primarily use this for demonstrations for customers.

We are building a private cloud with Oracle VM. We want to implement Oracle RAC with Clusterware releases 12.2 and 18c, and with Oracle Database releases 11.2.0.4 to 18c.

We use this solution for project management.

A disclaimer: Though I have been working with various flavours of Linux since Slackware 1.2 in 1996, and I more recently focus in more enterprise computing and Oracle Database, my opinions tend to be colored with those use cases. We use this Virtualization platform to host our internal development training and PoC environments.

We use this solution For running our in house development work. As we work with Oracle packaged applications thius allows us to deploy a full red stack and prevents any application software vs hypervisor compatibility issues. We have also deployed this solution at many customer sites where we use it to reduce licensing impacts using cpu pinning to reduce the number of cores needed to be licensed for individual products such as oracle database and weblogic.
