Sun has agreed to purchase Innotek! If you were wondering why Sun is acquiring yet another company with a different virtualization technology when it already offers a very comprehensive portfolio in the form of LDOMs, xVM & Containers, just take a look at the markets they address! LDOMs is for our highly mutlithreaded, multicore Niagara line of processors, xVM for x86 based processors and Containers for OS based software virtualization! VirtualBox is targeted at desktops and doesn't offer all the functionality of a server grade virtualization technology like LDOMs or xVM.
But what it does offer is a very wide range of OS support and some really cool features for developers! Just click on the link and check out all the things that might interest you.
And the icing on the cake - it is Free and Open! Now how about that for talking the talk and walking the walk?

I am surprised that the news didn't come out much earlier but better late than never. Oracle is officially entering the VM market with its own implementation of Xen. These days it is not possible to be in the OS market without having 2 things: 1. a decent virtualization road map 2. a neat set to management tools to manage the increasingly multi-vendor DC.
However, no vendor has the range of solutions that Sun does! LDOMS, xVM & Zones - all built in and proven technologies without having to pay a ransom for support!

Breaking news!!!!
Solaris Cluster support in LDOMs I/O domains was just published. Check the announcement at our product blog. Solaris cluster has the advantage of having full integration with the latest and greatest new technologies released by Sun while the same cannot be said about other competing products!
A teaser was also there ... "Stay tuned for Solaris Cluster support for LDoms Guest Domains which would allow you to cluster LDoms guest domains and thus bring the full power of SC application/data management to guest domains."
