Open source database to wean companies off Oracle

,----[ Quote ]
| EnterpriseDB is touting enterprise level 
| capabilities of its Postgres Plus Standard Server 
| 8.4 open source database, which was released this 
| week. The company says the database, which is 
| based on PostgreSQL database technology, offers 
| enterprises cost benefits of open source, 
| performance benefits of a community developed 
| product, and the reassurance of vendor support.

Oracle revs Xen VM to 2.2

,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle VM Server 2.2, which is the full name of 
| the hypervisor, is based on the open source Xen 
| 3.4 hypervisor, and it uses Oracle Enterprise 
| Linux 5.3 as the new Dom0 for the hypervisor to 
| boot on bare server metal. By moving to a cut-
| down Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3, VM Server 2.2 
| can now support the latest server processors from 
| Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, including all 
| of the tweaks to virtualization electronics they 
| put into the VT-d and AMD-V instructions and 
| features for their latest Nehalem and Istanbul 
| processors.
