Oracle plots VM 3.0 for next year

Oracle briefed partners peddling its Oracle VM server virtualization product and those of its recently acquired Virtual Iron product line three weeks ago, and today it was time for those products’ customers to get a little more detail about what Oracle has in mind for its future Oracle VM products.

As El Reg surmised when an ever-hungry Oracle snapped up Virtual Iron for an undisclosed sum in May, the acquisition was made as much for technology to make the Xen hypervisor – upon which both the VI and Oracle VM products are based – friendlier to data centers as it was for the people who know how to sell, support, and develop server virtualization.
