Summary
This chapter has taken you on a journey about possible hardware solutions for your consolidation project. When
thinking about the consolidation platform, you should definitely consider the Linux operating system. It is
dynamically developed, and many great minds spend a lot of time contributing to it. When this chapter was written,
Oracle used Linux as the primary development platform, which gives adopters of the platform early access to bug fixes
and enhancements.
As an additional benefit it runs on industry-standard hardware, which has been deployed thousands of times.
Also, Oracle has invested a lot of effort in the Linux platform, as well as making it future-proof. It has been said in
the introduction, but it should be repeated here: these ideas you just read about should invite you to critically reflect
about them! Test, evaluate, and sample until you have come to the conclusion that the platform you have chosen for
iteration 1 of the hosting platform is right for your organization.
