Oracle Virtualization Server unvailed today

Today Charles Phillips in his keynote  officially announced the availability of Oracle Virtualization Server.
It is a virtualization server based on the opensource XEN technology.
Already two hours after the announcement there was the first brilliant presentation about GRID & Virtualization Server and its integration with Fusion Middleware.ovm_00.jpg delivered by Senior Director Pavana Jain.

The software is not downloadable yet as far as I understood but will around soon as well.

Here are a few slides from the presentation:

With this technology it will be possible to store virtually everything in ASM storage and it is even possible to migrate running live VMs from one physical maschine to another one within minutes.

I cannot wait to test it!
