What's really cool about evaluating Oracle Linux from inside VirtualBox is that you can assign each virtual image a unique IP address, and have it communicate with the outside world as if it were its own physical machine on the network. Yuli describes how to do this, and also how to install guest additions to, for instance, share files between the guest and host systems. posted Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:56:03 +0000 Blog: Eight Cylinders of Virtualization
I've been on the lookout for a quick techie overview of Oracle's virtualization offerings. Detlef Drewanz, Matthis Pfützner, and Elke Freymann had strung together a series of blogs doing just that. Lenz Grimmer jumped in with some context on Linux, and the result was this 8-part series for OTN. posted Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:54:14 +0000 Tech Article: Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center as a Management Tool for Virtualization
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center offers complete infrastructure management with a focus on Oracle hardware (servers, switches, storage appliances) and Oracle operating systems, plus non-Oracle Linux variants that are supported on Oracle servers.

Oracle VM Server for x86 is an Oracle technology that existed before Oracle acquired Sun. It is a virtualization product based on the Xen hypervisor and like its SPARC counterpart, Oracle VM Server for SPARC, it is a thin Type 1 hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization and uses paravirtualization. posted Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:25:44 +0000 ACE Director: Bjoern Rost, co-founder of Portrix Systems
