Re: What people are doing
Terry. I just got off of a contract with Oracle and have moved their data bases to zLinux because they will no longer support Oracle beyond V10gR2. In other words, Oracle on the legacy systems are supported with a lifetime support clause, but will not be upgraded with new features. So I have moved Oracle Data Bases to zLinux for the newer features, V11 and RAC. Additionally, I have also consolidated servers to move the Oracle data bases to zLinux.

Re: What people are doing
Mr. Martin. Ok..The assessments normally last 2 to 3 weeks, which require an onsite visit to collect, analyze evaluate the IT environment. My contract rate is $190 Hr. + travel expenses which we can try to keep down by minimizing onsite time. You will be presented with a final presentation at the end of that term and I will be available to answer any all questions. This includes considerable amount of collateral documentation. This may also include installation, configuration tuning information as well. Since I no longer work for Oracle, this document would be an independent assessment, free of any bias that results from the pressure of a commission based salesman. I think you know what I mean. I can also help you/your company with the installation, migration, tuning and other support activities.but that is another topic that can be addressed if you wish to move forward.
