Xen Virtualization Trifecta

Oracle bought Virtual Iron, adding yet another virtualization solution to their product mix. First it was Oracle VM, based on Xen. Second it was Sun XVM, which is also based on Xen. And finally, Virtual Iron -- Xen again. In many ways the writing is on the wall: Oracle is taking a strong stance against the virtualization market. Regardless of their motive behind the Xen hypervisors, I am sure they will all find a place in Fusion Middleware.
