Dell Offers Preinstalled Oracle
Dell Inc. recently announced that it will offer Oracle Database Standard Edition One for Windows or Linux preinstalled on Dell 2-processor servers, for sale through all of its sales channels. In addition to bundling the Oracle database with its 2-processor servers, Dell will sell Oracle Database Standard Edition One alone in a shrink-wrapped version.
"This is an incredible opportunity for businesses and departments of all sizes to standardize on a world-class database running on proven, commodity hardware," says James Jech, Global Alliance Manager for Oracle, Dell Inc. "Dell and Oracle are committed to creating enterprise-class, ready-to-use technology solutions that are easy for businesses to purchase and deploy."
The shrink-wrapped and preinstalled versions are available immediately.
Oracle Information Architecture Speeds and Eases Integration
Oracle Information Architecture (OIA), a standards-based architecture that consolidates data from Oracle and non-Oracle applications, is providing partners with new ways to leverage Oracle technology. With OIA, every method third-party applications use to communicate with Oracle E-Business Suite—including APIs, XML messages, and Web-services interfaces—is documented and available in a single repository. This allows enterprises to consolidate customer data into a single hub, enabling real-time access to information from multiple systems and resulting in a centralized view of the customer.
An OIA initiative is available on the Oracle PartnerNetwork, providing training and sales and marketing support.
On Demand Partner Opportunities
More than 250,000 end users in more than 25 countries now employ Oracle software—E-Business Suite, Collaboration Suite, and technology—through a variety of on-demand models. More than two-thirds of Oracle's on-demand implementations are done with partners. As hosted services grows into a multibillion-dollar business for Oracle, opportunities for partners increase, too.
Recently, those opportunities expanded via the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) E-Business Suite Implementer initiative. Available to qualified partners, the initiative provides training, assessment, reference guides, information on the
hosting lifecycle, and more. Oracle Partners that aren't hosted-services
implementers can also earn revenue
from Oracle by referring new leads through the OPN's Open Market Model.
China's Red Flag and Japan's
Miracle Linux Partner
China's Red Flag Software and Japan's Miracle Linux have
established a partnership to develop enterprise Linux solutions for the Asian market. The two companies are collaborating at Oracle's China Development Center in Beijing. The partnership will focus on three areas:
- Server operating environment: The parties will establish a joint team to develop Asianux, a Linux-server operating environment with common kernel, library, and packages for server environments.
- Joint support: Red Flag, Miracle Linux, and Oracle will establish a joint technical-support center to provide support for Chinese and Japanese customers.
- Desktop operating system: Miracle Linux is studying Red Flag's desktop operating system for possible distribution in Japan.
