“With the help of House of Brick and VMware Professional Services, we have been able to virtualize our most demanding Oracle Databases on x86 servers. Where initially we believed that these databases would be too demanding for a virtual machine, we now have the confidence that vSphere can handle our largest transaction-processing databases with ease.”
— Rob Lowden, Director of IT at Indiana University

For the past four years, House of Brick has worked with both large and small clients to infuse expertise into their organizations as they implement their Oracle strategies on VMware virtualized servers.

In our experience helping organizations, we have heard the following types of concerns related to Oracle on VMware. You may be experiencing the same challenges in your own organization.
- You have personnel experienced separately in Oracle and VMware. Frequently customers with this situation have virtualized just about everything other than their Oracle stack(s).
- You are concerned about Oracle’s conditional support policy for VMware.
- You are concerned about Oracle license policies related to VMware.
- You tried Oracle on VMware at some point, but observed the performance was not good, so you backed out (with no analysis to isolate the bottleneck in the system stack).
- You have heard rumors of problems running Oracle on VMware.
- You believe that your Oracle database is not a good candidate for virtualization because the database is on a dedicated node.
- You believe that your Oracle database is not a good candidate for virtualization because it is too big.
- The Oracle E-Business Suite clone takes too long.
- You already have Oracle RAC, so you do not see the need for another layer of High Availability (HA).
- You think that you might want to wait for Microsoft Hyper-V or Oracle VM to mature.
