After buying SUN, ORACLE has now moved towards VirtualIron, one important player of the Virtualization World. According to Ed Walsh, President and CEO of Virtual Iron Software, Inc.: “The combination of Virtual Iron with Oracle is expected to provide comprehensive and dynamic virtualization management across the full data center stack. Oracle VM, combined with Virtual Iron, is expected to deliver extensive virtualization management features including dynamic resource and capacity management and streamlined network and storage configuration capabilities on top of a scalable, highly available, and high performance server platform.“. In my opinion, ORACLE is coming late to the cloud paradigm, but is definitely taking some shortcuts.
