Since the release of Oracle Solaris 11, over 4,000 customers have gone into production and many of them are deploying applications in Oracle Solaris-based clouds. With the integration of OpenStack components in Oracle Solaris, customers will be able to expand their usage of Oracle Solaris in new cloud deployments.
“Oracle is pleased to join the OpenStack Foundation and plans to integrate OpenStack capabilities into a broad set of Oracle products and cloud services,” said Edward Screven, chief corporate architect, Oracle. “Our goal is to give customers greater choice and flexibility in how they use Oracle products and services in public and private clouds.”
“By integrating OpenStack with Oracle Solaris, we can allow customers to use OpenStack as a common cloud management infrastructure across Oracle SPARC and x86 systems as well as our storage products. With Oracle Solaris 11 we are offering an industry-leading cloud solution with superior performance, scalability, efficiency and security,” said Markus Flierl, vice president, Oracle Solaris. “We understand our customers need to have common management interfaces, rather than being locked into proprietary ones. OpenStack allows them to do that, both for more traditional general-purpose IaaS environments, as well as our Oracle Engineered Systems. OpenStack integration means they can also use the same OpenStack APIs to manage their mission-critical Oracle Solaris and Oracle-s SPARC T5 and M6 systems, as well as their Oracle Linux and Oracle VM environments.”
“We are very excited to see the OpenStack eco-system growing.” said Mark Collier, chief operating officer, OpenStack Foundation. “We welcome Oracle to the OpenStack community, and look forward to innovative contributions from their many domain experts, as we continue to pursue the vision of a common cloud management platform.”
