Have you virtualized your ODA?
Based on customer preference, Viscosity can virtualize Oracle workloads or applications with OVM or KVM, while containing Oracle licenses. Customers also virtualize on the ODA to adopt the unified solution of applications and database servers in a single virtualized infrastructure. For customers who choose to virtualize both applications and databases, our base ODA services will include:
- Network architecture for virtualization
- ODA_BASE Installation and Configuration
- Install ODA_BASE template
- Apply patches
- Create Oracle Linux VM (as needed)
- Enable lights-out monitoring
Is your ODA right sized for your workload?
Viscosity will provide complete coverage of your Oracle and ODA server software, the server and storage hardware, integrated software (such as firmware), and the Oracle Linux operating system. Coverage includes:
- Review of general database workload of the databases on ODA
- Calculation of IOPs and Throughput
- Determination of latency, database size, and capacity
Do you need to upgrade to the latest Oracle 19c or 21c?
Viscosity will collaborate with your team through a series of discovery sessions prior to the installation and configuration, creating the architectural roadmap for your ODA. Areas of focus are:
- Upgrade and migration options
- Database workload (IOPs, Throughput) assessment
- SLA requirements
- OVM or KVM Virtualization requirements (if applicable)

RapidStart Configuration
Our RapidStart configuration allows us to validate the ODA configuration after the initial rack and stack deployment.

Throughout my 35 year IT career, I have had many opportunities to work with Oracle and Oracle consulting partners and implementers. Viscosity ranks among the top; either #1 or #2 considering the overall experience. Their ODA and Oracle technical knowledge is exceptional, their ability to work within and navigate the Oracle internal support and engineering structure is very effective.
I would highly recommend Viscosity and the Oracle ODA, and that recommendation is built mainly on my faith and trust in Viscosity.
