Product Overview
Consisting of open source server software and an integrated web browser-based management console, Oracle VM provides an easy-to-use, feature-rich, graphical interface for creating and managing virtual server pools, running on x86 and x86-64-based systems, across an enterprise.

- REL3, RHEL4 and RHEL5;

Oracle VM includes:
- Oracle VM Server: A self-contained, secure, server-based virtualisation environment for running VMs;
- Oracle VM Manager: Easy-to-use browser-based tool for creating, cloning, sharing, configuring, booting and migrating VMs.
