At Partner Exchange 2012 I had the opportunity to sit down with Bob Goldsand, Alliances Partner Architect at VMware, to discuss the benefits of virtualizing Oracle databases with VMware and NetApp. Bob was the primary architect supporting Green Mountain Power. Their story of virtualizing Oracle RAC and how the private cloud infrastructure was put to the test when Hurricane Irene hit, is one of our most popular customer success stories.
