Open Source and Linux from HP

Open source & Linux

Today, Sept. 22, HP announces enhancements in our continued commitment to customers who are running Oracle Enterprise Linux on HP ProLiant servers.  In 2006 we led the market with our enablement of Oracle Enterprise Linux on selected HP ProLiant servers.  Starting today, we have significantly increased server qualification testing, quantity of qualified servers (including HP ProLiant BladeSystem), and qualification of our ProLiant value add software.  HP continues to have the most servers qualified to run Oracle Enterprise Linux and as a premier partner with Oracle, we look forward to strengthening our leadership in the Linux market."  Scott Farrand, Vice President, ESS SW, HP.  Discover more solutions certified with Oracle Enterprise Linux.

The strategic alliance between HP and Oracle stems from more than a quarter century of close cooperation. Together we have more than 100,000 joint customers and thirteen joint solution demo centers around the globe. Our targeted HP Consulting and Integration service offerings for customers encompass enterprise integration and Service Oriented Architecture. As key partner in the Oracle Validated Configurations program, HP tests a variety of configurations and scenarios for Oracle products on HP server and storage platforms. This provides customers the assurance that their choices will work together smoothly when they select from the validated options.

HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers are put through rigorous qualification testing with Oracle Enterprise Linux. As the leading x86 Linux vendor we offer our customers choice without limitations, Oracle Enterprise Linux is no different. Our server and storage testing gives customers confidence to know that they can deploy OEL with best installation experience in the industry. Collaboration between HP and Oracle support teams further strengthens our offering as the clear platform choice for Oracle Enterprise Linux environments.
