In other Oracle news, the vendor announced Symantec is an enterprise storage management partner for its Unbreakable Linux support program. The program provides support for users of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux distribution, regardless of whether they are Oracle software users, at aggressive price points.
Oracle and Symantec have certified Symantec's Veritas datacenter software with Oracle Enterprise Linux and guaranteed to provide enterprise-level support for both the storage and the Linux offerings. The agreement covers six Veritas products: Storage Foundation 5.0, Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0, Storage Foundation Cluster File System 5.0, Cluster Server 5.0, NetBackup 6.0 Client, and i3.
While Oracle claims demand is growing for its support program, the vendor has yet to provide precise figures on user uptake. In March, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said publicly that Unbreakable Linux had got off to a "very strong start" and committed his company to building a Linux business, while cautioning that such a process would take time.
