Oracle is urging its partners to push its engineered systems, pre-integrated solution stacks of Oracle servers, storage, networking and software that offer optimal performance.
In June the company updated its entire stack of Exadata, Exalogic, Exalytics and Sparc SuperCluster, and introduced the T5 series of Sparc processors.
Said Mitesh Agarwal, CTO & Director, Systems Solution Consulting, Oracle India, “With the launch of the new T5 series of servers, and with the revamp of our engineered systems, the performance leadership is firmly back with Oracle. Our SuperCluster T5 offers 10 times better price-performance compared to IBM’s top-end Power 7+ servers.”
Last quarter we had 1,200 customer wins for engineered systems in India. Over the 12 months we have had 3,000 wins
He said that Oracle’s engineered systems grew at a rate of 45 percent in Q12013 while IBM’s P-series declined 32 percent. “Last quarter alone we had 1,200 wins for engineered systems in India. Over the past 12 months we have had 3,000 wins for the same.”
Quoting IDC’s Q12013 report, he said, even in India the company has grabbed the No 1 spot in Unix servers. Oracle reported that more than one-third of its revenue during Q12013 came from engineered systems.
Agarwal said that the company will continue to support Oracle software stacks across
all hardware including proprietary Unix servers of IBM and HP, but added that customers will increasingly prefer to buy engineered systems.
“Customers have two choices. They can buy different components from multiple vendors, or they can buy our engineered systems which offer up to 10 times the performance of similarly configured stacks from others. We believe customers will bet on engineered systems.”
He emphasized Oracle’s commitment to channels. “We are enhancing our partner engagement through technical resources, joint ISV program memberships, joint ISV-customer references, and PoC centers, among others.”
He said the focus in the days ahead will be on empowering partners to sell industry-specific solutions.
