Regarding DCA and all Oracle engineering systems, the initial setup process is managed by SCS and Oracle Advanced Customer Support, not the customer. They handle the entire installation and configuration. The initial installation and configuration may take several days up to a month. However, once that phase is complete, deploying virtual machines is a quick process, often taking just a minute.

A combination of Oracle Customer Support (ACS) and an Oracle global partner implemented it.

We used a vendor team for the implementation. I would rate their expertise as a seven out of 10.

Since it is a new product, there's a lot of new things we had to kind of learn, connectivity-wise, although it's based on Oracle Virtual Machine. So we knew that skill set before it came on so we had that a little bit going on. But some of the nuances of the new technology stack, the converged system, was something we had to adapt to and learn.
