Oracle is the only vendor in the industry that offers a complete Linux-based solution stack – applications, middleware, database, management tools, operating system, virtualization, and hardware. With Oracle as your Linux support provider, you have a single point of contact for all your support needs. Oracle delivers enterprise-class support for Oracle Linux and the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, including premier backports, indemnification and testing.
Oracle Support for Oracle Linux installations is significantly lower in cost than competing vendors’ Linux support. You are free to decide which of your systems should be covered by a support subscription, and at which level each of them should be supported. This makes Oracle Linux an ideal choice for both your development and production systems. You decide which support coverage is the best for each of your systems individually, while keeping all of them up-to-date and secure with the same level of bug fixes and security errata.
Oracle Linux is also the Linux development standard at Oracle. The same Oracle products customers deploy in their data center and in the cloud were developed using Oracle Linux. In addition, Oracle understands mission-critical application requirements and Oracle Linux is developed and tested to provide the reliability, scalability, security and performance for these demanding enterprise workloads.
