Delivers Four Times Better Scalability than VMware at
a Fraction of the Cost
Oracle
VM 3.0 is suitable for all datacenter workloads and features new policy-based
management capabilities, advanced storage management via the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in API; centralized network
configuration management, improved ease-of-use and Open Virtualization Format
(OVF) support.
Oracle
VM 3.0 is engineered for use with Oracle software and hardware, enabling
improved performance, faster application deployment, and improved manageability
for Oracle software.
“Customers want to accomplish more with
virtualization than just traditional server consolidation. They need
virtualization solutions that can help them deploy, manage and optimize the
full application ‘stack’ rather than just the servers alone,” said Wim
Coekaerts, senior vice president of Oracle Linux and Virtualization.
“Oracle VM 3.0’s application-driven
approach to virtualization makes management of the hardware-software stack
easier by enabling customers to deploy, manage and scale applications and
resources more dynamically, increasing their operating efficiencies and
lowering costs,” he added.
With the centralization of storage
management alongside of logical network configuration and management, Oracle VM
3.0 allows administrators to streamline and automate end-to-end virtual machine
provisioning for a significant reduction in time and overhead, simplifying IT
processes and helping to reduce costs.
Oracle VM 3.0 helps customers deploy
enterprise software in a rapid, repeatable and error-free manner with immediate
availability of over 90 Oracle VM Templates for Oracle applications,
middleware and databases.
“Over time, we expect that enterprises
will need to deliver internal IT resources more like an external service
provider would, allowing for rapid deployment and efficient management of
business critical applications,” said Al Gillen, program vice president, System
Software, IDC. “By using application centric virtualization solutions like
Oracle VM 3.0, organizations are deploying a strong foundation that will
support an operational transformation in their datacenters, when the time is
right for their business.”
Oracle
VM 3.0 is four times more scalable than the latest VMware offering, supporting
up to 128 virtual CPUs per virtual machine, at a fraction of the cost. Oracle
VM 3.0 demonstrated support for up to 160 physical CPUs and 2TB memory using
Oracle’s Sun Fire X4800 M2 servers.
When
compared to VMware vSphere5 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest VMs, Oracle
VM 3.0 running Oracle Linux guest VMs is four times less expensive.
Oracle
VM is free to download, has zero license cost, and affordable,
enterprise-quality support is offered through a simple subscription model per
server.
