Use Case: Healthcare
Healthcare requires instant, secure access from anywhere
To help with compliance, centralized data and logging of user locations and activities is crucial
“Caregiver mobility” allows healthcare workers to move from patient to patient, room to room, with no disruptions
Instant, Secure Access
Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.42
Use Case: Contact Center
Contact centers demand maximum location flexibility
Workers can be at different workspaces every day, different offices, or working from home
Oracle desktop virtualization provides simple, reliable access to all applications and data from anywhere on nearly any device
Work Anywhere
Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.43
Use Case: Public Sector
State and local governments and other public sector entities have incredibly strict security policies
Public sector organizations also have many disparate data locations and application platforms
Centralizing all data and applications dramatically increases security and enables better access control
The Highest Security

Enterprise Manager Support for Oracle VM: Highlights Enterprise Manager provides cloud systems based on Oracle VM for x86 or SPARC Enterprise Manager automates key operations (provisioning, scale up) via the underlying
Oracle VM Manager– Easier for customers to adopt, scale up and diagnose
Enterprise Manager creates additional value on top of native Oracle VM Manager based operations
– Assembly Provisioning– Policy based capacity on demand– Metering and Chargeback– Incident and Configuration Management ….
The new architecture enables faster support for new versions– Oracle VM 3.1.1 was supported within a week of release

Challenge: (1) Need to improve application deployment time, increase performance and save on IT costs
Results: Deployed fully managed stack of enterprise applications in hoursReduced number of physical servers by 40 percent, rack space by 25 percent and power consumption by 45 percent. Reduce virtualization-related costs by 50 percent, while doubling the number of cores in production.
Gian Giacomo Ferraris, CEO of Versace"Our ultimate goal was to improve application deployment time, increase performance and save on IT costs,” said Gian Giacomo Ferraris, CEO of Versace. “The support that we have received from Oracle has helped us dramatically reduce licensing and management costs, while ensuring our architecture can scale to meet the changing dynamics of our growing business.”
