Guess the opensource-part since they mention ''based on opensource software''. Looks like - xen-kernel and probably unbreakable linux in dom0 - a dedicated server for hosting a webbased management-software The nice idea is they can ship oracle with the whole os around it as domU- disk. So if a para-virtualized freebsd should beat linux in some corners they could just switch this, provided the customer keeps his hold inter- faces for managing the oracle-installation of course. Wondering if they will also support the application-loaded domUs on xen- source based dom0s.

Even their Enterprise Linux 5 is not a supported virtual environment. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I wonder if it''s nice and if it''s based on XenAPI. In principle they could just be serving it from dom0, but I don''t know if they are...? Administratively, the fact that Oracle do / may "bless" this VMM looks like another differentiator. Cheers, Mark> The nice idea is they can ship oracle with the whole os around it as domU- > disk.
