Oracle Extends Validated Configurations Program to Server Virtualization

Enabling customers to rapidly deploy virtualized environments and optimize data center resources, with reduced risk and cost, Oracle today announced the extension of the Oracle Validated Configurations program to include Oracle® VM server virtualization software.
Oracle Validated Configurations enable easier, faster, and lower-cost deployment of Linux and Oracle VM solutions in the enterprise. The program offers pre-tested, validated architectures, with documented best practices for software, hardware, storage, and network components, to help improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of solutions, with faster, lower-cost implementations.
An industry-wide, partner-accepted and endorsed program that offers documented best practices for virtualized and Linux deployments, Oracle Validated Configurations provide details on what to deploy, how to deploy and recommendations on hardware and software combinations that have proven to be the most effective.
Since the launch of the program in 2006, Oracle and its strategic partners have delivered more than 145 configurations, providing customers a higher level of assurance that these configurations have been tested and will run in demanding enterprise environments.
Additionally, a new Oracle Linux Kit is available, including Oracle VM which allows end-users to create their own validated configurations.
