Oracle VM Server For Sparc

Oracle VM Server for SPARC provides highly efficient, enterprise-class virtualization capabilities for supported Oracle SPARC servers. Oracle VM Server leverages built-in SPARC hypervisor to subdivide a supported platform's resources (CPUs, memory, network, and storage) by creating partitions called logical (or virtual) domains. Each logical domain can run an independent operating system. Oracle VM Server for SPARC provides the flexibility to deploy multiple Oracle Solaris operating systems simultaneously on a single platform. Oracle VM Server also allows creating up to 128 virtual servers on one system to take advantage of the massive thread scale offered by supported Oracle SPARC servers.

Features

Create multiple independent logical domains quickly and easily using the built-in hypervisor Leverage advanced Oracle Solaris technologies, such as ZFS cloning and snapshots, to speed deployment and dramatically reduce disk-capacity requirements Utilize redundant virtual networks and disks to create more highly available domains Dynamically re-configure computing resources to meet business demands Perform domain migration from system to system securely and quickly with very little latency

Benefits

Greatly increased utilization

Flexibility in provisioning and deployment of services More uniform management interfaces Higher level of service Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
