According to Chelsio, Oracle VM is a free, server virtualization and management solution that enables enterprise applications to be easily deployed, managed and supported. Supporting both Oracle and non-Oracle applications, Oracle VM facilitates the deployment and operation of enterprise applications to help reduce operations and support costs while simultaneously increasing IT agility.

Chelsio’s unified wire adapters are based on its third generation T3 Asic, which delivers performance and lowest latency in the industry. The drivers for Oracle VM have gone through a qualification process by both Oracle and Chelsio and are included with Oracle VM, helping ensure seamless installation.

Jeff Doolan, director of Linux and virtualization channels at Oracle, said: Oracle VM expands our ongoing focus to providing customers with solutions that help lower the cost of their IT infrastructures. Oracle VM delivers the benefits of enterprise-class server virtualization with leading price-performance. Together, Chelsio and Oracle deliver a comprehensive server virtualization solution for our joint customers.

Kianoosh Naghshineh, president and CEO of Chelsio Communications, said: With the rapid rise of server virtualization, Chelsio continues to lead the way in server and storage connectivity for virtual server environments such as Oracle VM. Our T3 technology enables innovative solutions for administrators to seamlessly manage networking from virtualized machines, while leveraging the performance advantages they’ve come to expect from Chelsio.
