Can Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) ever leapfrog Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) and VMware (NYSE: VMW) in the Linux and virtualization markets? Hmmm… before The VAR Guy takes a stab at answering those questions, he needs to track down Wim Coekaerts, senior VP of Oracle’s Linux and virtualization initiatives. Here’s why.
Coekaerts’ 17-year track record at Oracle suggests the technology giant is very serious about the Linux and virtualization markets. But how serious? With a little luck, The VAR Guy will track down Coekaerts during a trip to California next week.
Oracle recently released Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 for Oracle Linux. Oracle claims the performance enhancements allowed the company to achieve record database benchmark results. Plus, Oracle Linux is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle asserts.
