NetApp storage technology supports new Oracle VM to provide best-in-class virtualised environment

Network Appliance, Inc., a leading provider of storage and data management solutions, has announced its support for Oracle VM, a powerful and easy-to-use solution that delivers the benefits of server virtualization and enables enterprises to effectively utilise resources to further lower computing costs with industry leading, enterprise-class support for their virtual environments.

Oracle VM is a fast, scalable, low-cost server virtualisation software that fully supports both Oracle and non-Oracle applications. NetApp complements and strengthens Oracle VM with storage solutions that are best suited for customers' virtualised environments.

Traditionally, companies deployed IT systems that were specific to each application, resulting in silos of IT infrastructures that became more challenging to manage as they grew. The Oracle and NetApp strategy is to provide customers an enterprise class infrastructure that combines the benefits of grid computing and virtualisation technologies. Together, NetApp and Oracle enable customers to pool shared resources to rapidly respond to changing business environments and to create a resilient, highest availability infrastructure for all business and mission-critical applications and databases.
