Architect Center: Virtualization

Virtualization is the process of abstracting computing resources such that multiple operating system and application images can share a single physical server, bringing significant cost-of-ownership and manageability benefits.

Only Oracle combines the benefits of server clustering and Oracle VM server virtualization software, delivering integrated clustering, virtualization, storage, and management for grid computing.

Oracle VM Essentials Course from Oracle University — This new online course provides a complete technical introduction to Oracle VM, starting with use cases and expanding to cover management of fully virtualized datacenters using Oracle VM's high availability features.

Blog: Look Ma, No Hypervisor!
