Oracle Private Cloud Appliance – Now Available

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance, formerly named Virtual Compute Appliance, is an integrated, “wire once,” software-defined converged infrastructure system designed for rapid deployment of private cloud at industry-leading price point. Whether customers are running Microsoft Windows, Linux or Oracle Solaris applications, Private Cloud Appliance supports a large range of mixed workloads hosted in a converged server, network, and storage environment to enable general purpose, business-, and mission-critical application deployments in medium-to-large data centers.

High-performance, low-latency Oracle Fabric Interconnect with Oracle SDN—two products in the Oracle Virtual Networking family—allow automated configuration of the server and storage networks. The embedded Private Cloud Appliance controller software automates the installation, configuration, and management of all the infrastructure components at the push of a button. Customers need to enter only basic configuration parameters and create virtual machines (VMs) manually or by leveraging Oracle VM Templates to get a full application up and running in few hours. With Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, the Private Cloud Appliance is transformed into a powerful Cloud Services delivery platform and provides a simple path from on-premise to Oracle Cloud.
