The comprehensive suite of open standards-based business intelligence (BI) products offered by Oracle® Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) represents a compelling way for enterprises to collect, analyze and present information to improve decision making.

The reference configuration described here is intended to help IT professionals design and configure OBIEE 11g using Dell™ systems that apply best practices derived from laboratory and real-world experiences. By taking advantage of virtualization technologies, the hardware infrastructure platform presented in this paper helps reduce cost through the use of Oracle VM's capability to hard-partition a physical server. In addition, server efficiency is maximized and the deployment process is sped up.

Also described is an Oracle VM template with preinstalled and preconfigured software images to speed up the deployment process of OBIEE 11g.
