Why Partner with Oracle
The Oracle PartnerNetwork will empower your company with exceptional resources to distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales.
Powerful, energy-efficient, highly reliable, and extremely flexible, the enterprise-class Sun Blade servers from Oracle provide an ideal platform for server consolidation and virtualization, database and business applications, as well as enterprise cloud deployments. Partners that invest in this product line will benefit through:
- Market differentiation. No other blade platform on the market provides the flexibility, such as the ability to mix and match SPARC and x86 blades, and combines compute, storage, and advanced networking capabilities into a high performing platform managed from a single point. These advantages provide partners with significant flexibility in meeting customer requirements.
- Increased partner services revenue. An excellent addition to a partner’s solutions portfolio, Sun Blade servers are targeted at projects that have a high partner services component, such as server consolidation.
- Increase market opportunities. Sun Blade servers support both SPARC and x86 blades, providing a unique opportunity to address both market segments simultaneously.
