Oracle Enterprise Linux has some key features which are suitable for running enterprise class workloads. I strongly recommend Oracle Enterprise Linux.ġ. These projects have used OLE, RHEL, and CentOS Linux with IBM or HP servers also EMC, HPE or Hitachi storage.ġ-RHEL Linux is better compatible with different hardware.Ģ-Not only are RHEL Documents more clear but also Red Hat has better support compared to Oracle.ģ-RHEL and CentOS have better repositories and quicker security patching compared to OLE.įinally, Red Hat (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora) communities are much greater and active than the Oracle Linux community.

‌Based on my experience in various projects as a Linux expert and SAN storage admins with an expert colleague in the Oracle database have obtained interesting results.

And the lack of knowledge in the Linux field leads to accepting Oracle's recommendations that my Linux works better and should be used. Moreover, Oracle releases OLE to keep its product list complete on the other hand Oracle Linux fans are most people and companies that work with Oracle products. As far as I can remember, projects such as Open Solaris, OpenOffice, and etc were owned by Oracle disappeared. Third, Oracle's policies regarding open source projects are unacceptable. Secondly, there is no point to use OLE in heterogeneous Data Centers which they are equipped with multi-brand hardware. I have been working on both Linux (RHEL from RedHat and OLE from Oracle) in many projects for more than 10 years now.įirstly, RHEL is the main Linux Distribution whereas OLE is just a clone version of RHEL with some enhancements in Kernel to makes it more compatible with Oracle hardware and software.
