• I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a
  hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu)
  for 386(486) AT clones .

Enterprise Linux
Today Linux has become the hottest thing in
corporate America since e-mailFor some
companies, the gains from converting are so large
that CIOs get giddy talking about it.

Business Landscape

• Customers require more ROI than their existing
  investments
• Must provide more scalable, available solutions
  and yet REDUCE costs
• Support and maintenance costs for larger SMPs are
  relatively expensive
• Pace of technology change is increasing
• Reaching max of current SMP machine requiring a
  much large server frame and more
• Too many servers, too expensive, hard to manage

Drive towards technology

• Need for a common infrastructure that allows
  organic / GRID computing
• Leverage resources for other projects
• Simpler to create server pools for all
  applications
• Need more scalable and available software to glue
  common hardware together
• Cannot change existing applications
• Will not be locked into any particular technology
• Must reduce management costs and server costs
• Drive towards LINUX and RAC
• In only 3 years taken 13.7 of 50.9 B server
  market

Is Linux ready for companies?

• DiamlerChrysler uses it in car crash sims. 20
  faster 40 cheaper than Unix
• Morgan Stanley replacing 4K servers running other
  O/S and saving 100M over 5 years
• Over 700 eBusiness suite Linux customers
• Electronic arts found that a 2 proc Intel was
  equivalent to a 4 proc SMP. 101 price diff
• Cnet got great performance and then sold its SMP
  machines on ebay for more than the Intel ones
  cost to buy!
• LINUX is new (10yrs) and volatile but RAC helps

• More planned

17
Linux Oracle RAC

• Linux could be considered younger than other more
  mature operating systems
• Rapid rate of addition although its reaching a
  level of maturity
• Better and better enterprise support from vendors
• Scaling to 4 Procs 2.4 and gt 8 with kernel 2.6
• Oracle RAC provides the mainframe stability and
  scale out for apps beyond 4 procs

Why RAC?

• Benefits of added scalability and added
  availability when you add extra nodes. Flexible.
• No need for ANY application changes to run RAC
• Data is shared amongst all the nodes in the
  cluster
• Any application on any node sees all the data
• When a node crashes no data is lost
• Workload is partitioned automatically across the
  available nodes
• Add and remove nodes flexibility. Runs of all
  major platforms. Grow with demand. Saves cost

25
RAC Today

• Over 200 production reference customers.
• Across all common hardware platforms.
• 10i RAC version released
• Wide delivery of Consulting accelerator services
• Addition of cluster file systems
• Certification of common platforms and
  applications
• Single most scalable platform for enterprise
  solutions. Scale on demand and manage
  effectively.
• Widely being used by gaming companies now.
  Electronic Arts, Sony online entertainment and
  others.
