Why This Matters

Oracle Linux KVM provides an enterprise grade virtualization platform that is cost effective and closely aligned with modern Oracle Database deployments. It runs Linux and Windows workloads, supports hard partitioning for Oracle software when configured correctly, and eliminates the vendor lock in that many customers are trying to escape.

The outcomes our customers see include reduced virtualization and support spend with improved predictability, alignment with open virtualization standards, and the ability to migrate and modernize without redesigning every application in the portfolio.

Your Path Through Migration

01

Discovery

Assessment of clusters, hosts, storage, and workloads. Architecture design and migration wave planning.

02

Pilot

Limited workload migration to refine the runbook before mission critical applications move.

03

Production Cutover

Phased migration with hypercare support and OLVM training for your virtualization administrators.

Why Viscosity Technology

When you work with Viscosity you are not choosing between VMware expertise and Oracle expertise. You get a combined team that knows both platforms and can guide your journey from the first discovery session through final cutover. Our consultants have worked with VMware, Oracle Linux KVM, and enterprise virtualization footprints for decades.

This service is for organizations watching VMware costs climb under new Broadcom licensing, customers running Oracle workloads on VMware who want to contain licensing exposure through hard partitioning, businesses standardizing virtualization across test, development, and production, and teams preparing for hybrid or multi cloud strategies that need a hypervisor trusted across cloud platforms.
