Technical information
Linux
Organizations need complete, secure IT solutions—not just another Linux distribution. Oracle uniquely delivers Linux with everything required to deploy, optimize, and manage applications, on-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge. It’s more secure and easier to manage, and it’s tuned for critical demanding workloads at cloud scale. Automation, virtualization, management, high availability, cloud native tools, Kubernetes, and more are all included and supported with a single Premier Support subscription.
Oracle has been part of the Linux community for 25 years. Our goal has remained the same: help make Linux the best server operating system for everyone, freely available to all, with high-quality, low-cost support for those who need it.
Constellation Research finds five drivers for DevOps automation and explores what sets open source, ansible-based Oracle Linux Automation Manager apart. The report also presents key differentiators and actionable recommendations for CXOs.
IDC research shows that Linux-based operating systems are the most used OS in public cloud environments. In this report, IDC provides analysis and recommendations for selecting the right commercial Linux distribution for on-premises and cloud.
