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, compact, energy-efficient, and highly reliable, the enterprise-class Sun x86 servers from Oracle provide an ideal platform for mission-critical applications, and virtualization and consolidation projects. Partners that invest in this product line will benefit through:
- Increased sales. Sun x86 servers are well differentiated in a competitive market. Unique features, such as those that improve performance for memory-intensive workloads or reduce costs by boosting energy efficiency, align closely with core customer requirements and can increase a partner’s sales conversion rate.
- Increased partner services revenue. An excellent addition to a partner’s solutions portfolio, Sun x86 servers are targeted at projects that have a high partner services component, such as server consolidation.
- Increase market opportunities. Sun x86 servers support all major operating systems, including Oracle Solaris. Oracle Solaris allows partners to target a broader range or market segments, such security-sensitive verticals.
