For those of you that will be coming out to Oracle OpenWorld 2012 next ween in San Francisco, I encourage you to take a few minutes on Monday afternoon to come to my session on Oracle Exalogic.

My session is one of the first on Oracle Exalogic (one of the privileges of running Product Management for the product) and with that in mind it is going to be something of an introduction and overview.  The material I will present is tailored for C-level customers that are interested in the product but haven't really been exposed to it in any detail.  This is essentially the same sort of presentation I give to customers that visit Oracle HQ, and it provides context for all of the other excellent sessions that follow.

During this session I will talk about:

• The macro-trends in the industry that are driving Exalogic strategy - IT-as-a-Service and infrastructure convergence
• The first two years of market success with Exalogic - who's bought it, why, and what their results have been
• Exalogic key features and differentiation - why it's the best possible platform for Oracle business applications and middleware
• How Exalogic performs, and why it is the hands-down performance champion of Enterprise cloud platforms

If you haven't signed up yet, please do.  I'd love to see you there.
