DC Partner - Oracle

Unite network, computing, and virtualization resources.

Cisco and Oracle are working to make Oracle's next-generation solutions interoperable with the Cisco Unified Computing System. This effort can help our mutual customers evolve to a unified data center where the network, computing, storage access, applications, and virtualization resources are delivered in a single cohesive system.

"Focused on enabling virtualized data center deployments, Oracle and Cisco's long-standing partnership now extends to the completion of testing and validating Cisco Unified Computing Systems with Oracle VM server virtualization," said Edward Screven, chief corporate architect for Oracle. "Our customers can realize significant value from Cisco and Oracle data center solutions as they take advantage of cohesive and integrated virtualization technologies that can accelerate time to market while helping to lower their infrastructure costs."
