Oracle has a habit of indulging into dramatic conflicts. After it won over SAP in a billion-dollar suit, the company is now going after HP as it puts grit in the latter’s Itanium machines when Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems. SAP and IBM even tied up with each other to bring down the company. With Oracle wanting to demonstrate its storage leadership within the industry, the provider of complete, open, and integrated business software and hardware systems just launched the three new configurations of Linux for customers.

Wim Coekaerts, senior vice president, Linux and Virtualization Engineering at Oracle expressed excitement on these new developments. He said, “Through Oracle Validated Configurations, customers benefit from pre-tested, verified configurations delivered by Oracle and our partners. This enables customers to reduce the time they spend on testing and deployment, allowing them to focus more on managing their infrastructure and developing new business solutions.”

The three configurations that consist of Oracle Linux 5 are the following: Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Real Application Clusters,Oracle’s Sun ZFS Storage 7420 appliance. These portfolio hopes to deliver extreme performance, advanced scalability, and reliability for enterprise applications. Configurations were also set to allow easier, faster, and cost-efficient deployment of Oracle Linux and Oracle VM solutions in the enterprise. This can be done by offering best practices via pre-tested, validated architectures that support improvement of the solutions.

While we look at some of the drama they put on, Oracle still prepares spectacles within the comforts of their home. Recent updates within the organization include boost in revenues for the third quarter of 2010. This goes to show the strong orientation of the team to the idea of profitability as a focus.

Players within the industry may see Oracle as the controversy-magnet, but there is no doubt that the company is a great moulding factor of the tech community.
