Compellent Technologies today announced support for Oracle VM server virtualization software. Compellent’s advanced virtualization creates a powerful storage infrastructure, delivering high performance, reduced cost of ownership, simplified storage management and an ideal platform for Oracle VM. More information about the partnership can be found here.
Oracle VM server virtualization software supports both Oracle and non-Oracle applications, and offers scalable, low-cost server virtualization. Oracle VM’s next generation architecture supports the use of virtualization-aware paravirtualized guest operating systems to allow more efficient, lower overhead operations in areas critical to performance such as memory and I/O management. Oracle VM consists of open source server software and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for creating and managing virtual server pools across an enterprise. Key Oracle products including Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications are certified with Oracle VM.
Compellent is part of the Oracle Unbreakable Linux program, and will extend that support to include Oracle VM. Compellent’s innovative software applications, including Thin Provisioning, Remote Replication and Automated Tiered Storage, allow data to be easily accessible, easily replicated and dynamically expanded in less time than traditional storage solutions.
