Microsoft and Oracle:
Partners in the
Enterprise Cloud
Marcos Nogueira
MVP
Agenda
• Oracle customers want more choices in deployment options
• Customers count on Windows to run Oracle software
• Microsoft and Oracle are working together to help customers
embrace cloud computing
• Microsoft Azure provides the best Hybrid Cloud
computing option for Oracle customers

Azure is the only fully supported and properly-licensed public
cloud environment to deploy the Oracle stack and the only
third-party virtualization platform certified by Oracle
Why choose Microsoft Azure
Oracle Software Certified on
Windows Server is Supported on Azure!
Including:
• Java 6 and Java 7
• Oracle WebLogic Server
• Oracle Database
• Oracle Linux
• Oracle Fusion Middleware
Note: Refer MOS Note 1563794.1 Certified Software on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V

 Establishing “disposable” Dev/Test environments. – You can
create a Dev/Test environment that you use to truly experiment
without putting your internal environments at risk.
 Using Microsoft’s BI Suite to Analyze Oracle Data – With the
Oracle data in Azure it becomes easy to create dashboards and
other types of visualizations quickly.
 Bursts of Scalability – If you need large amounts of RAM or
processing power to run a process on your data, you can scale
for a short period of time and then reduce the server specs back
to its normal operational requirement.

Usage Scenarios
Considerations:
• Recommended DB size <10GB for data on System Disk
• Attach disk(s) for flexibility and improved performance
• Only standalone Oracle DB instances (no clustering)
• Configure & capture a customized image or deploy your own for rapid provisioning and
automation
• Consider Virtual Networking to capture an IP & VPN for connectivity to on-premise
datacenter
• Use special offers for MSDN subscribers for Dev/test on Windows Azure
Caution:
• Oracle Database clustering (RAC for Oracle DB) is not currently supported
• Current disk limit ~500IOps max per disk (non-striped)
Considerations:
• JDKs in Windows Azure Oracle images are 64-bit
• Hybrid cloud for Java apps with Oracle DB (app server/web tiers in Azure, DB on prem)
• Dynamic clusters (WLS 12c) for easy provisioning/mgmt
• Easily grow WebLogic cluster by capturing/deploying from a snapshot of your managed VM
• Automate creating/deploying managed VMs for WebLogic clusters with PowerShell/azure-cli & WLST
• Virtual Networking/subnets for multi-tier architecture & VPN for on-prem datacenter connectivity
• Integration with other Azure services (mobile services, message queues, etc) for net new or rearchitected apps
Caution:
• UDP multicasting not supported, recommend WLS cluster size to be kept static at <=10 managed
servers
• IPv6 support in WLS not applicable to Azure
• Windows Azure cannot load balance multiple instances of WebLogic servers in a single VM

Where we compete - Oracle on AWS
• AWS is running Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM) in two Datacenter
Locations (Dublin and US)
• Limitations on AWS
• AWS only supports Public Cloud model
• AWS Xen hypervisor is not a supported Oracle solution
• Fewer versions available for rental
• RDS license-included currently limited to Oracle DB Standard Edition One
• Amazon rounds up charges to full hours (61 minutes = 2 hours)
• Benefits of Microsoft Azure
• The Oracle – Microsoft partnership delivers fully supported Hyper-V
• Run Oracle On Premises or on Microsoft Azure and build a Hybrid Cloud
• Only Microsoft offers consistent switch between Cloud Models
