Oracle has augmented its virtualization portfolio with the release of Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1, which comes installed on Oracle’s SPARC T-series servers. Oracle VM Server for SPARC allows up to 128 virtual machines, or "domains", on one system, providing organizations increased flexibility and improved server utilization.
Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1 also delivers live migration capabilities to the SPARC T-series server family, including SPARC T3, UltraSPARC T2 Plus and UltraSPARC T2 based servers, allowing customers to quickly and easily migrate running domains from one physical server to another, eliminating application outages and server downtime.
