Yesterday Oracle, through its Virtualization Blog, announced the new placement of its Oracle VM in the new Gartner x86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure Magic Quadrant.
The application-driven approach to virtualization that Oracle has kept so far seems to be supported from this result, Oracle itself claims to be supported by strong customer momentum gains originated from the low cost licensing model and easy software access.

- Integrated management with Oracle VM and all layers of the Oracle stack from hardware to virtualization to cloud
