ORACLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
May 31, 2011
servers are based on our SPARC family of microprocessors and on microprocessors from Intel Corporation. Our
servers range from high performance computing servers to cost efficient, entry-level servers, and run with Oracle
Solaris, Oracle Linux and certain other operating systems environments. Our storage products are designed to
securely manage, protect, archive and restore customers’ data assets and consist of tape, disk and networking
solutions for open systems and mainframe server environments. Customers that purchase our hardware systems
products may also elect to purchase our hardware systems support offerings. Our hardware systems support
offerings provide customers with software updates for the software components that are essential to the
functionality of our hardware systems and storage products and can include product repairs, maintenance
services, and technical support services.
The consulting line of business primarily provides services to customers in business and IT strategy alignment,
enterprise architecture planning and design, initial product implementation and integration, and ongoing product
enhancements and upgrades. Cloud Services include Oracle Cloud Services and Advanced Customer Services
offerings. Oracle Cloud Services are designed to provide comprehensive software and hardware management and
maintenance services for customers hosted at our Oracle data center facilities, select partner data centers or
physically on-site at customer facilities. Advanced Customer Services provides support services, both on-site and
remote, to customers to enable increased performance and higher availability of their products and services. The
education line of business provides instructor-led, media-based and internet-based training in the use of our
software and hardware products.
We do not track our assets by operating segments. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating
segments’ results.
