Oracle has announced Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.0, an integral part of Oracle Virtualisation, the industry’s most complete and integrated virtualisation portfolio.
Pre-installed on Oracle’s SPARC T-Series servers, Oracle VM Server for SPARC (previously called Logical Domains) is a server virtualisation solution that allows up to 128 virtual servers on one system by taking advantage of the massive thread scale offered by SPARC T-Series servers, including the new SPARC T3 servers, enabling organisations to benefit from increased flexibility and improved server utilisation.
