VMware responds to Oracle virtualization challenges in a high profile

Welcome to the Oracle community forum and interact with 2 million technical staff. There is no doubt that if you want to select the most popular technology term this year, virtualization will be the top choice. Not only are companies competing to hold virtual conferences, but there are also multiple vendors involved in this field. Some time ago, Sun released its own virtualization technology, and Oracle also launched it in November 12.

There is no doubt that if you want to select the most popular technology term this year, virtualization will surely take the lead. Not only are companies competing to hold virtual conferences, but there are also multiple vendors involved in this field. Some time ago, Sun released its own virtualization technology. Oracle also released a variant of open-source virtualization Xen at its own OOW conference in November 12.

Although XenSource has been acquired by Citrix, this does not affect Xen's open source position. Oracle can use Xen to build its own virtualization architecture.

What is the impact of Oracle's entry into the increasingly popular virtualization market on the existing landscape? The reporter contacted Zhang zhenlun, the technical director of VMware Greater China, and asked him about the related topics. He sent the following Email to the reporter:

"Tens of thousands of enterprise-level users deploy VMware in their production environments. Among them, 43% have made VMware the first choice, and more than 91% have applied the VMware Virtual architecture to the production environment. VMware has certified about 2000 different hardware types and 30 operating systems, and has verified availability and reliability in a variety of demanding environments for more than 6 years, these are the most important concerns of enterprise users. Today, users run more Oracle products (applications, databases, and middleware) on the VMware platform than any other virtualization platform, and obtain a large number of applications from testing to production environments.

VMware has become the undisputed leader in the virtualization software market and can provide an end-to-end complete product line, it covers virtualization platforms, management systems, virtualization tools and architecture services (including VMware VMotion, VMware HA and DRS ). A large number of customers are looking for a unified and powerful virtualization platform to manage and automate all their applications, and VMware is their best choice.

VMware ESX Server has been optimized to better run databases and other key business applications, in the real world, the performance of Oracle databases running in the VMware architecture and some virtualized Linux operating systems is almost the same as that running on physical servers.

VMware will continue to work closely with Oracle companies. We believe that a large number of Oracle users want to freely choose virtualization platform software, and they need the flexibility, reliability, stability, and availability provided by the VMware architecture ."
