Not to be confused with Oracle VM VirtualBox.

Oracle VM is the server virtualization offering from Oracle Corporation. Oracle VM is based on the open-source Xen hypervisor technology, supports Windows, Linux, and Oracle Solaris[1] guests and includes an integrated Web based management console. Oracle VM features fully tested and certified Oracle Applications stack in an enterprise virtualization environment. [2]

Oracle VM can be freely downloaded through Oracle's E-delivery service.[3]

Oracle VM Components

  • Oracle VM Manager: web based management console to manage Oracle VM Servers.
  • Oracle VM Server: includes a version of Xen hypervisor technology, and the Oracle VM Agent to communicate with Oracle VM Manager for management of virtual machines. It also includes a minimized Linux kernel as Dom0.

Resource Limits

Oracle VM can take advantage of up 160 CPUs, 2TB RAM per server and can host a maximum of 128 VMs per server (correct as of 3.0.3).[4]
