Virtualization for Oracle: – Transform the way you deploy
and manage applications
– Engineer for demanding workloads
– Unify support for the software solution stack
Application-Driven Virtualization– “Top-down” approach instead of “bottom-up”
– Focus is on applications, not just infrastructure
– Provide value to the business, not just cool technology
Making Software Easier to Deploy, Access, Manage and Support
