By Ronen Kofman, Director, Oracle VM Product Management.

AMD and Oracle engineering teams have been working together to enhance Oracle VM to take advantage of the new capabilities and performance improvements introduced with the new AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processor (formerly code-named “Interlagos”). The latest release of Oracle’s server virtualization solution, Oracle VM 3.0, includes dramatic improvements in performance, manageability and scalability for virtual environments, designed to meet the needs of the modern data center. Oracle VM supports 128 vCPU and 1 TB of virtual RAM per VM, enabling high scalability for enterprise applications.

AMD is a long time Oracle technology partner and with our collaboration around Oracle VM and  the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor we are one step closer towards delivering a well tested and optimized solution to customers. Our work with AMD has led to various enhancements to both the hypervisor and the kernel, enabling Oracle VM 3.0 to take advantage of AMD’s new 16-core CPU, and leading to better performance for virtual machines.

We are excited about AMD’s new product release and hope to bring even more value to customers who use Oracle VM 3.0 with the new AMD Opteron 6200 Series CPU-based systems.
