“Oracle recently released Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release
2 for Oracle Linux. Oracle claims the performance enhancements
allowed the company to achieve record database benchmark results.
Plus, Oracle Linux is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
Oracle asserts.“Meanwhile, Oracle claims its virtualization technology ? Oracle
VM 3.0 ? offers four times the scalability of VMware ?at a fraction
of the cost.?“Despite those updates and claims, Red Hat and VMware both
continue to chug along, each delivering double-digit revenue
growth. Red Hat recently became the world?s first $1 billion
software company focused purely on open source. And VMware recently
reaffirmed its growth goals, despite a CFO transition at the
company.”
