14. Proven Technology Validated by Customers “ Ksplice enables our technical staff to reduce the amount of time we spend on routine maintenance. We ’ re reducing both costs and headaches at the same time. ” Nick Zyren, CTO of FutureHosting “ Inspires utter awe and delight in our system administrators and strengthens our business by letting us maintain servers more effectively. ” Zak Boca, CEO of SingleHop “ Ksplice is superb. It reduces one of the biggest costs associated with any server-system administrator maintenance time, and helps us improve the quality of service we can provide to our customers. ” Dave Collins, CTO of HostGator
15. Industry Recognition of Ksplice’s Technology “ Ksplice came up with a technology that can patch or install a new kernel on the fly. This takes the minimal reboots of Linux to zero reboots. Ideally, this allows a machine running Linux to run indefinitely. ” (09/1/2010) “ Until a system can be updated, it can be vulnerable to security flaws. By allowing users to install kernel updates without downtime, Ksplice technology reduces the cost of system administration and reinforces security, increasing the actual rate of compliance with security updates. ” (09/8/2010) "When a vendor releases software updates, Ksplice makes those updates into a module that can be applied to a server without rebooting it. This saves you the hassle of notifying customers of downtime and planning for staff members to work at 2:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The update can be applied painlessly and without any disruption to anyone's work“ (02/12/2010)

Notes de l'éditeur
Oracle has been and continues to be very committed to Linux: 1. Commitment to use and improve LINUX – Oracle Runs its Business on Linux 2. Commitment to make all of our products available on LINUX – All Products Available on Linux; 9000 developers 3. Commitment & contributions to fully support LINUX for our customers – Global Linux Support in 100+ Countries 4. To make significant technology contributions to the LINUX community - Dedicated Linux Kernel Team Why - …….Good for the LINUX community and good for Oracle Back in the late 90s Oracle realized that x86 hardware was going to be a big deal and we were keen to help this trend. At the time, there were really two choices for x86 operating systems and one of them came from Redmond, Washington. So we decided on Linux. And we began investing in it. We hired developers, we put money into Red Hat and VA Linux We developed key Linux functionality such Asynchronous I/O to ensure Oracle databases could run properly on Linux We were the first company to release a commercially available relational database on Linux Fast forward 12 years or so and we ’re at a point where we have a dedicated Linux kernel engineering team A global support org whose only job it is to support the Linux operating system More importantly, the very core of Oracle ’s IT infrastructure, including our mission critical systems and our entire development organization runs on Linux Oracle Global IT runs Oracle Enterprise Linux with more than 42,000 servers and supporting 4+ million external users and 84,000 internal users In fact, I don ’t think there are many companies with an enterprise Linux deployment larger than Oracle’s. We wouldn ’t still be investing in Linux if it didn’t also produce business results
