Jonathan Schwartz Boasts About Sun xVM

January 30th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun Microsystems, wrote a blog post based on the recent Sun quarter financial announcements. From the post:

“Topping the list was the interest in Sun xVM. xVM is our free, open source virtualization platform, which we unveiled at Oracle Open World, alongside our management platform, xVM Ops Center. xVM will virtualize Windows, Linux or Solaris, on either Dell, HP, IBM or Sun hardware. We’ve seen broad interest from across the world, especially from customers that want to avoid putting a proprietary virtualization technology at the base of large scale open source datacenters (“why go back?” one said to me). Interest in our virtualization story (from xVM to Solaris containers) expands to every industry, and nearly every customer – it’s just about the number one item on the agenda.”

Not sure about you, but reading xVM out loud (ex-VM, get it?) always makes me smile :)
