How does Oracle contribute to the enhancement of Linux technology?
Oracle works with the key Linux distributors to test and optimize the OS to effectively handle mission-critical applications. For example, Oracle has collaborated with Red Hat and Novell to create a core set of enhancements in the areas of performance, reliability, clustering and manageability in order to enable Linux to support our customers’ enterprise-class deployments. These efforts have been integrated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as into Novell’s SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server. We believe that our work with Red Hat and Novell to enhance the Linux kernel benefits all Linux distributions. Oracle is actively supporting the Linux open source community by contributing source code for products like Oracle Cluster File System, to drive development of the Linux operating system.
