Oracle VM
Solid and Mature
“Oracle VM is a solid and mature solution for Oracle-centric Red
Stack architecture, and it is becoming a valuable component of an
integrated Oracle-managed architecture and Oracle Engineered
Systems as more management features are added.
“Gartner continues to receive a growing number of inquiries from
clients considering VMware alternatives (such as Oracle VM)
because of Oracle Certification, license and support issues.”
