Oracle VM is Oracle's server virtualization solution. It provides several virtualization technologies including Oracle VM Server for x86 and SPARC servers, which allows consolidating applications by running multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. Oracle VM offers features such as live migration, high availability, dynamic resource scheduling, and storage connectivity. It provides a full-stack management solution with tools to deploy virtual machines quickly using templates and to manage thousands of VMs from a single console.
