The Spotlight is on You
- by Claudia McDonald
On the field or off the field, in ballet slippers or singing
your heart out on stage, offering a stellar performance every time is key to
holding the attention of your audience and having them come back hungry for
more. Similarly, showing up to a new business meeting wearing pink tights and a
tutu might be one way to holding the attention of your customer, but offering
them an unmatched and ground-breaking software solution certainly will get
their attention!
Simply put, the Oracle Exastack program enables both ISV's
and OEM's to rapidly build and deliver faster, more reliable applications. It
comes as no surprise that the success of the Oracle Exastack program is
centered on establishing Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Exalogic
Elastic Cloud as the highest performance, lowest cost platforms available in
the industry today.
But here is where the real standing-ovation-worthy facts
come in. The Oracle Exadata Database Machine is the only database machine that
provides extreme performance for both data warehousing and online transaction
processing (OLTP) workloads, making it the ideal platform for consolidating
onto private clouds. Whereas the Oracle
Exalogic Elastic Cloud is an engineered hardware and software system tested and
tuned by Oracle to provide the best foundation for cloud computing, while
allowing Java applications, Oracle Applications and other enterprise
applications to run with extreme performance. – And the crowd goes wild, ladies and gentlemen!
In just four months alone, our partners have already
achieved over 150 Oracle Exastack Ready milestones for Oracle Solaris, Oracle
Linux, Oracle Database and Oracle WebLogic Server. As Judson has said,
“With the Oracle Exastack program, Oracle is helping partners test, tune and
optimize their applications to deliver optimal performance and reliability,
accelerating innovation and delivering superior value to customers."
And get this, not only are their applications running faster
and more efficiently, they are actually being delivered at a lower cost to
customers than ever before – extreme performance well deserving of 3
consecutive arabesques!

Optimized, partners experience faster and more reliable applications to
run on the Oracle Exadata Database Machine, as well as the long awaited
Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud.
Savvy OPN members are
leveraging the Oracle Exastack Optimized program toward their advancement
to Platinum or Diamond level in OPN.
Partners are achieving
Oracle Exadata Ready and Oracle Exalogic Ready giving them a competitive
advantage and signaling to customers that their applications readily
