We implement the solution in-house. We have a highly-professional team who sometimes collaborates with Oracle engineers if we have issues. 

The implementation was done in-house with no issues. 

We downloaded software packages from the website, repurposed some hardware, and installed the operating system. 

Primarily, it's the DBAs (Database Administrators) who control and use the database servers. Network and security departments generally use Windows operating systems. They don't deal with Linux commands as much because they have limited access and manage fewer servers – maybe two, three, four, or a maximum of ten. In contrast, we have many database servers, and for security reasons, we prefer Linux. We don't have Windows servers for our database work.

The duration is influenced by factors such as the deployment purpose, the platform chosen (virtual machine or hardware), and the specific tasks associated with the deployment. Simple deployments, such as setting up a basic web service, can take as little as ten minutes or even less. However, for more complex configurations like a rack cluster, the deployment time extends, potentially requiring a day or two due to the numerous configurations involved. Typically, installations don't involve utilizing an architect; instead, a single person can handle most of the architect's solution installations. The maintenance process is considered fairly straightforward and well-supported.

We have nine DBAs and two engineers to deploy the solution.

Our IT support team did everything related to the installation part.

The implementation of Oracle Linux was done in-house.

The number of people needed to implement and support Oracle Linux depends on the duration of the project and the number of VMs. In the current project that we're working on, we have close to 60 Oracle VMs and, over a period of four to six months, we did the implementation with one engineer, it is fairly simple.

I didn't deploy the solution on my own. We had a team that managed the deployment. 

The implementation was completed in-house.

We did everything in-house. 

I am able to complete the installation myself.

The deployment was a team effort since it was a project being deployed for a client.

During the deployment, we had a project manager on-site who provided guidance on the steps involved in the process, particularly with regard to migrating from an Oracle environment.

The most significant challenge we encountered during the deployment was data migration from the old platform, which was an SQL version. Data cleanup was also a time-consuming issue that we faced. However, once the data had been cleaned and set up properly, the rest of the process became much easier.

We sought the help of other people to deploy the solution. 

We did the tool's deployment in-house. 

The implementation was completed through a vendor.

We did the implementation of Oracle Linux in-house. We have two people who are supporting this solution.

We handled the implementation ourselves. We did not need the assistance of a consultant or implementor. 

We handled the setup ourselves. We did not need outside help. Our support team could easily deploy it. 

I was able to implement Oracle Linux, OCFS2, Grid Infrastructure and ASM, all with minimal assistance from Oracle customer support or vendor support. The online resources, particularly with how to manage Grid Infrastructure and ASM are more than adequate for a competent Systems Administrator to work through most any issue.

As for implementation advice, I found it beneficial to follow Oracle’s documented recommendations wherever security or other technical aspects are non-prohibitive. That is certainly helpful when opening cases with technical support as technical details are familiar to the support personnel making it easier for them to provide support.

We installed it in-house.

We use our in house expertise at Fujitsu.

We implemented it ourselves.

I was able to handle the implementation process on my own. I did not need outside assistance. 

We used integrators to help us implement the solution into our systems. 

We have six engineers that do the maintenance of this solution.

Honestly, if you've done any Linux installation of any distribution, and specifically if you've done CentOS or Red Hat, all that really changes are some of the images and backgrounds and colors and labels, but other than that, it's probably 98% identical, but Oracle does have some optimizations and some additional RPMs already installed. It's a very small difference, but if you know Linux, and even if you're with a different variant, say like a Ubuntu, you'll still be okay. You won't be a fish out of water.

The implementation, and deployment, of this solution was carried out in-house.

We performed the deployment with our in-house team only. The only assistance from Oracle has been with Oracle hardware issues in OVM for x86, and installation of Oracle applications on OEL.

I work at an Oracle partner company and assist clients with their implementation in my role as a consultant.

The deployment and maintenance are done by vendor teams.

I deployed it myself. Only one administrator is required for deployment and maintenance.

We implemented it ourselves with our in-house team.

It takes around 30 minutes to deploy Oracle Linux. To deploy Oracle Linux, I have to boot from the ISO image, enter the setup, and click on next. I can get additional options from the OS itself.

We used to use UNIX. And I'm using some Red Hat and CentOS. I switched some of CentOS to Oracle Linux. We do it directly. We have many engineers with various levels of experience.

In-house. For this environment, the greatest value gained from implementing Oracle Linux resulted from implementing the management pack components and clustering software that we would have to pay for otherwise. Another was very specific with regard to the value of Ksplice, with which we can update our environment with latest patches and updates with zero-downtime.

Implementation of all OS's has always been through our in-house team. Once we have a repeatable build, we usually turn it over to an automated deployment tool like Puppet, Ansible, or the native Anaconda kickstart.

The deployment and maintenance is all being monitored by another company.

We did the implementation ourselves.

When you install Oracle Linux you will need to have help from consultants and integrators.

We have a team of 10 that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We implemented it ourselves with our in-house team.

I tested and implemented it by myself. My advice is to start with a minimal installation and disable all useless services after the first startup, e.g. bluetooth, IRDA, etc.

The operating system implementations were in-house. There is no need for a vendor team to perform the OS install once you have in-house system administrators with needed skills. Related skills can be quickly gathered by professionals familiar with various Linux flavors, and certification for Oracle Linux can be achieved by taking a rather simple exam in one of the many Pearson Vue centers. I've heard that for other Linux distributions the process isn’t as simple.

We have a team that does the implementation of the solution.

We implemented it ourselves without in-house team.

I perform all Oracle Linux implementations myself. The most important point that I've found is to plan, plan, plan, and then deploy.

We implemented it through our own in-house team.
