Oracle Licensing in a Virtual Environment
Delivering Oracle license compliance, reduced cost and risk within your virtualised environment.
Server Virtualisation and Oracle Licensing
Virtualised platforms can cause confusion, inadvertently creating Oracle license compliance issues. Instead of dealing with virtual processors or virtual machines, Oracle requires that you license the entire virtualised environment (across vCenters) as opposed to the virtual machine or single physical host/cluster.
This is where most clients unwittingly run into serious non-compliance problems with potentially significant commercial impacts which can sometimes remain unnoticed until a vendor audit. This can often undo some of the cost saving benefits of virtualisation unless you have a thorough appreciation of what you are doing
