Summary


So with this chapter we close this book on a basic introduction to Oracle VM Manager. Oracle VM Manager is clearly an optimal, cost-effective IntraCoud environment which any organization can use to its advantage.

Oracle's own VM templates make a wonderful case to be tested while you can also go ahead and test all Windows flavors on it. There already are organizations choosing the Oracle VM platform, slowly and gradually. Oracle, with its careful and strategic investments in the Cloud Computing space and Virtualization, stands a better chance to go after the highly aspirational low-cost driven consumer market, and with Oracle VM Manager we have just begun scratching the surface of Oracle VM.
