Oracle R Distribution

Oracle has released Oracle R Distribution, an Oracle-supported distribution of open source R. This is provided as a free download from Oracle and comes pre-installed on Oracle Big Data Appliance. Oracle R Distribution is part of Oracle's overall strategy for Big Data.

Support for Oracle R Distribution is provided to customers of the Oracle Advanced Analytics option, Oracle Linux, and the Oracle Big Data Appliance. Oracle R Distribution facilitates enterprise acceptance of R, since the lack of a major corporate sponsor has made some companies concerned about fully adopting R. With  Oracle R Distribution, Oracle plans to contribute bug fixes and relevant enhancements to open source R. Oracle R Distribution also provides support for Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL), which enables optimized, multi-threaded math routines to provide relevant R functions maximum performance on Intel hardware.
