Virtualization of Oracle Evolves to Best Practice for Production Systems

Eighteen months ago Wikibon published research on virtualizing Oracle entitled Damn the Torpedoes: Virtualize Oracle as Fast as Possible. Wikibon recommended organizations not to “…wait for Oracle to announce support for virtualization but to take an aggressive yet pragmatic approach, moving towards virtualization as the standard for all production systems.” [Note: The research discusses virtualization generally and non-Oracle hypervisors specifically].
