Virtualization Benefits
An Oracle virtualized environment can offer benefits such as cost savings, scalability, improved resource utilization, simplified disaster recovery and cloud migration. However, it's important to carefully evaluate your organization's specific needs and requirements before making the decision to virtualize your Oracle environment.
Cost Savings
Virtualization allows you to consolidate multiple Oracle databases and applications onto fewer physical servers, reducing hardware costs, maintenance costs and in some cases licensing costs.
Scalability
With virtualization, you can easily scale your Oracle environment by adding or removing virtual machines (VMs) as needed, without the need for purchasing additional physical hardware.
Enhanced Security
Oracle Virtualization Manager provides built-in security features, such as role-based access control and secure communication between the management server and managed servers, to help protect your virtualized environment from unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
Improved Resource Utilization
Virtualization allows you to allocate resources more efficiently to your Oracle workloads, ensuring that each VM has the resources it needs to perform optimally.
Disaster Recovery &
Business Continuity
Virtualization can simplify disaster recovery and business continuity planning by allowing you to quickly and easily replicate your Oracle environment to a secondary site or cloud.
