[Gllug] Oracle on Linux

[Davies Sue]

John

I've just been approached by my line manager who asked me to find out if
people were running Oracle on Linux on Itanium.  I'm not sure he believes
that anyone is running it in 64 bit mode, although it may be a certain
trepidation at leaving the comfort zone that many people find M$ provides.

I could give Netproject a go again but as you say suppliers may be a better
bet.

At the moment it's just such a pleasant change to have a new Head of Service
who came up through the UNIX route and was happy with it.  She's not anti M$
but rather pro the most appropriate platform for the app.  Such a pleasant
change

Well, we have plenty of systems running on Opteron and Itanium
(mostly Opteron).
Have the management considered Nocona also?

If 64 bit Linux didn't work our customers would rend us limb from limb.



Being honest,
wouldn't you be better contacting Redhat and Novell(SuSE) and asking
them for case studies etc. on Oracle?


Also as you are in local government, why not contact Netproject?
They were involved with the Newham bid.
