We currently have an application written in Oracle. Most of our customers wish to run on VMWare internally or via third party.
My understanding of Oracle licensing is that you must licence against all the underlying hardware unless you use Oracle's own virtualisation software. However, most hosting organisations use VMWare and any internal hosting will also use VMWare.
How can we licence Oracle products without them looking uncompetitive to competing SQL Server products when the VMWare licensing causes problems?
Thanks.
It's all in the architecture of you VMWARE solution. From a performance and scaleabilty point of view Oracle will probbably beat MSSQL in several areas, security etc. MSSQl also has specific challenges in VMware licensing that you should research.
Matthew is right speak to your sales rep about the most cost effective solutions for your requirement.

How can I install Oracle databases on macos natively without using a VM?!
tried every possible way, read almost all the documentations on their website but unfortunately i couldn't get any solution.
No, not today. You can easily get up and running with a VirtualBox appliance, we even make one for you to download and import.
VirtualBox recently put out an update that supports M1/M2 chip architectures, so that's nice.
Otherwise you could spin up an Always Free Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Instance. That takes about 5 minutes, and then you could use that as your dev instance.

I am looking to automate my appplication installation on standalone machines, so wondering if I can automate the oracle 11g setup as well? Is there a way to do this?
Maybe instead of installing Oracle on Windows use VM with pre installed software. Here you have some instructions how to use it.
Generally I don't think automated instalation for database make sense. You can configure database somwhere in the net and your application can use remote databse (just create a schema for each user). Also database server has usually different requirements so it is not popular to install DB at same machine as application.

I am trying to learn Oracle SQL with the help of the book 'Oracle SQL by Example' and it recommends that I download Oracle 11g to be able to take full advantage of what the book has on offer when it comes to practising the skills I learn.
However, Oracle's website seems not to offer 11g for Mac and I cannot find a link to 10g that is still valid (or, indeed, that doesn't dead end at the Oracle website). Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks.
The simplest route might be to install VirtualBox and one of the pre-built VM images Oracle provides. It's simpler to get started than having to navigate the database software installation and DB creation, if you aren't interested in those aspects at the moment.
The Database App Development VM gives you a pre-installed database, plus SQL*Plus and SQL Developer to run examples and your own code as you learn.

I want to start working with Teradata database and for that I need to setup it on my system. After searching a lot I didn't find any setup which I can use to install it on windows machine. The only link I found was http://www.teradata.com/teradata-express-13-0-windows/ this one but there is no download link on this page. I have also found the VMware version to use Teradata on 64-bit windows on this link http://downloads.teradata.com/download/database/teradata-express/vmware but I am not sure how to install this using VMware after downloading the setup.
Please provide some help for installing Teradata on 32 windows or 64 windows using VmWare.
Have you read this article on Teradata's Developer Exchange? It should cover the basics of getting the VMware environment up and running.

You may wish to change the runlevel of SLES to boot to the command line instead of the Gnome desktop to reduce the memory footprint of the VM. You will want to dedicate 4GB of RAM to the VM as well.

Here are the couple of things we are trying to achieve
Our staff currently uses a bunch of desktops and laptops. Around 30-5o of the staff, most of them are laptops (mix of HP and Lenovo). Most using Win 7 professional , a minority using XP. What is the best way to
Manage pushing the windows updates to everyone's computer since not every one installs the updates by themselves.
Managing inventory through a software so that we know how many computers are there, who is using which one, which are currently being used and which ones are in repair.
Good to have feature would also be able to install software remotely and perfom maintenance remotely.
I am fine with a solution that may not solve all the above so would love to know which one can help with most of these issues.
Thank you.
You need a Software Management Solution, and Microsoft provides just such a server/client infrastructure.

Google also launched an open source effort last year to reduce the cost of software licenses by allowing employees to visit the tool, and uninstall apps. Not quite what your looking for, but you could likely extend their offering to get some use.
