Oracle Delivers Industry’s Most Complete and Integrated Desktop-to-Datacenter Virtualisation Portfolio

Company Outlines Benefits of Virtualisation Integrated from Applications to Disk

News Facts

- Today at an online event, Oracle’s Edward Screven, Chief Corporate Architect, and John Fowler, Executive Vice President, Systems, outlined Oracle’s virtualisation strategy and why Oracle Virtualisation delivers more value than VMware.

- The event highlights how Oracle Virtualisation, the most complete and integrated virtualisation solutions portfolio, enables customers to go beyond simple server consolidation to virtualise and manage their full hardware and software stack, from desktop-to-datacenter.

- Oracle offers unmatched breadth in server virtualisation options, including Oracle VM Server for x86, Oracle VM Server for SPARC, Oracle Solaris Containers and Dynamic Domains.

- Oracle continues to enhance its virtualisation products on all fronts including four recently announced new desktop virtualisation offerings: Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3.2, Oracle Sun Ray Software 5, Oracle VM Virtual Box 3.2 and Sun Ray 3 Plus Client.

- In addition, the recent release of Oracle WebLogic Suite Virtualisation Option and Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder, both running on Oracle VM, allows customers to dramatically speed up and simplify application deployment—including in cloud computing environments.

- Oracle’s application aware virtualisation goes beyond VMware’s hypervisor-only approach by providing virtualisation technologies, the applications that run within, and integrated management—addressing the entire stack from applications to disk.
