Read this Ovum Summit paper to see why one of the best-kept secrets in the IT industry is the depth of support Oracle offers to customers deploying its databases on Microsoft Windows platforms. Despite its highly visible support of Linux, Oracle was the first of the major database vendors to port its software to Windows in the mid-1990s, and continues to support a large and robust Oracle-on-Windows user community. The vendor's Windows integration capabilities range from ensuring interoperability with core Windows features such as Active Directory to making sure its databases and tools work seamlessly with the popular Visual Studio development suite. Customers ranging from "mom and-pop" shops to global enterprises run Oracle Databases on Windows platforms, but the sweet spot for this combination is squarely in the fastgrowing small and mid-sized business (SMB) market.
