Today at Dell Enterprise Forum, Dell announced an expanded
worldwide alliance with Oracle designed to help customers of all
sizes realize the strength of the combined solutions of both
companies. The two companies will introduce a new x86
infrastructure offering that combines Dell’s best-in-class hardware
with Oracle’s industry-leading software, enabling organizations to
deploy and manage applications faster with increased performance,
flexibility and value at every scale. As part of the agreement,
Oracle has named Dell a preferred x86 partner, and Dell has named
Oracle a preferred enterprise infrastructure partner, including
Oracle Linux.
With the new offering, Dell customers will gain access to
Oracle’s industry-leading infrastructure technologies including
Oracle Linux, Oracle VM, and Oracle Enterprise Manager that are
optimized to run on leading x86 solutions from Dell. The Joint
Infrastructure Solution is tested and validated as an
application-ready platform for enterprises and delivered as a set
of reference architectures that deliver high performance,
cost-effective infrastructure solutions. Further, in a unique
arrangement in the industry, the two companies will streamline
customer support offerings to provide companies of all sizes with a
single point of contact from Dell for all support-related
needs.
“Dell is growing fast in the datacenter and gaining market share
across the world in our three core businesses. In part, this
success is due to the fact we are focused on building and
optimizing Dell infrastructure to help customers run their core
mission-critical workloads,” said Marius Haas, president of
enterprise solutions for Dell. “Today’s agreement with Oracle
greatly expands this commitment. By combining Oracle’s strong
position in the database and business applications markets with
Dell’s leadership in industry-standard servers, datacenter storage
and networking, we’re combining the best of both worlds to deliver
innovative solutions to customers that deliver superior
performance, lower costs and increased value.”
“This partnership with Dell is an extension of Oracle’s
engineered systems strategy where we simplify IT and reduce
integration costs by delivering hardware and software together,”
said Oracle President Mark Hurd. “We believe that by working
together, Dell will gain significant market share by delivering to
its customers an integrated, optimized solution designed to deploy
business critical applications. This is just the beginning of a lot
of great things to come.”
Recognizing Dell’s growing presence and importance in enterprise
datacenters, Oracle has named Dell a preferred x86 partner on which
to deploy Oracle software. With Oracle’s strong presence in
enterprise software, Dell has named Oracle a preferred enterprise
infrastructure partner, including Oracle Linux, Oracle VM, and
Oracle Enterprise Manager.
