In November 12, Oracle launched a new product, Oracle VM, which is used for server virtualization and supports Oracle and non-Oracle Applications. The world's leading database software producer has entered the virtualization field in a high profile and is bound to set off another boom in the already popular virtualization market. So what are the characteristics of Oracle's virtualization products?

First, important Oracle products support Oracle VMS. According to Oracle, Oracle VM provides scalable and low-cost server virtualization technology, which greatly improves product efficiency. In addition, you can support the entire virtual environment, including the Liunx operating system, Oracle database, Oracle Integrated middleware, and Oracle management software. Currently, Oracle VM is free of charge and supports both Linux and Windows.

Oracle VM is composed of open-source server software and an integrated Web browser-based Management Console. Oracle VM provides an easy-to-manage graphical interface that allows you to create and manage Virtual Server pools, runs x86 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Users can create and manage virtual machines on the physical servers of the system, just like on an independent physical server. Each virtual machine created using the Oracle VM has its own virtual CPU, network interface, storage, and operating system. With Oracle VM, you have an easy-to-use and browser-based tool that allows you to create, copy, share, configure, start, and migrate virtual machines.

With Oracle VM, you have the cluster, virtualization, storage, and management capabilities for grid computing. Oracle VM can achieve better load balancing, so as to make full use of resources. Considering the needs of enterprise users, Oracle now fully supports server virtualization. Oracle claims that it is the only software vendor in the world that integrates Server Clusters and server virtualization technologies to deliver a complete grid computing infrastructure.

In addition, Oracle VM can be directly installed on server hardware without the host operating system. During deployment, you can set the Oracle database and Oracle Enterprise Linux through a pre-configured virtual machine. It also has the template function, so that users can easily create virtual machines. It does not require other specific client software and can be used in a browser.

Gartner believes that Oracle solutions use Xen's open source technology to develop their own virtualization products. In the future, Oracle VM will be integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager. At the same time, although Oracle claims to improve the performance of the Oracle VM, users still need to retain this attitude, because the performance of I/O depends mainly on changes in hardware performance, therefore, users cannot expect the performance of virtualization vendors to be significantly different.
