Oracle just bought VirtualIron, one of the biggest virtual server competitors to VMware yesterday. Together with Sun's virtualization, and Oracle's own, I predict they are making a big play against Cisco and Vmware. This could try to capture more space in this market. Oracle's current offering is free, Sun's was going to be next to free and open source, and Virtualiron is based on open source. If they get everyone using these new free or near free products, and they have integrated hardware (sun), then why wouldn't a company choose to also run the Oracle DB where Oracle makes the big money? Especially if the could show that using all the integrated products together have performance 10X a comparable Cisco/Vmware/Microsoft offering?

That didn't make any sense to me. You need to give me a tutorial in technical stuff when you are here.
