Oracle Linux 8.10 | Hardened by ProComputers

My main use case for Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers is for installing products like MySQL Database, which was initially for installing Oracle products.

Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers has had a positive impact on my organization, especially due to its ease of integration and driver compatibility, particularly with Oracle or MySQL products, and I really enjoy working with this distribution when dealing with these two products.

In practical results, I found the performance improvement of the database quite subtle—small, but there was improvement, particularly with better management of the machine's memory consumption and the operating system's own semaphores with the disk Sync I/O.

I notice specific advantages in choosing Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers compared to other distributions, mainly because of ease of integration and tools and dependencies when installing related products. In other Linux distributions, I sometimes have difficulty getting the correct dependency versions.

In terms of features that make the process easier, the initial configuration of Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers is very simple, and the driver compatibility is excellent.

Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers could be improved in several ways. I think the installation documentation could be clearer, more practical, and more objective.

I would suggest that the step-by-step guidance be improved to be more objective in the product's installation configuration. For Oracle products such as Oracle Database itself and MySQL, the information should be clearer, especially for the MySQL installation concerning the composition and step-by-step process of installing and configuring drivers.

The missing aspect is the need for clearer information in the installation manual of the product itself and the related products belonging to the company, such as MySQL and Oracle, as it lacks configuration details.

I don't have any further suggestions for improving Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers aside from the documentation mentioned, as I don't make direct use of any specific feature of Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers itself, other than for database use.

I have been using Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers for around four years, as I have used it several times when installing Oracle databases and other types of databases as the database platform for customers I had when I did consulting work.

Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers is stable. On all the servers where I have it, I don't have any problems, as the server doesn't restart by itself and remains stable.

I have only used Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers with Oracle RAC and for MySQL replication, and its scalability was very smooth. I didn't have any problems with that.

I didn't need to contact support for Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers, thankfully, as the product has always worked very well, and I haven't had any negative incidents with it.

We previously used some products that worked with SQL Server and others with PostgreSQL, but we changed to using MySQL and products that utilized Oracle Database due to acquisitions like SAP, which required these databases.

The necessity arose to use Oracle Database or MySQL, and Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers was requested along with it.

We just communicate that we need the resource, provided there is already an authorized and purchased package.

Before choosing Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers, I didn't evaluate other options, as the product already came predetermined for these versions due to compatibility.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers a nine.

Regarding the AI features of Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers, I still haven't had the opportunity to use it, but from what I have read, it seems quite interesting.

Oracle Linux 8.9 with support by ProComputers is deployed in my organization mainly on AWS in the cloud on EC2 machines, and today I have many on-premises machines installed.

I use AWS as my cloud provider.

My recommendation to others reading reviews on PeerSpot is to go for it if the use will be for Oracle Database and its related products, or MySQL, which are products designed to work perfectly on this operating system.
