What is Sun xVM Ops Center?

Sun xVM Ops Center is a new tool for data center virtualization and management. It contains features to control the hardware and software elements of the stack (real and virtual).

Which operating systems does Sun xVM Ops Center support?

Sun xVM Ops Center supports Redhat Linux, SUSE, and Solaris 8, 9, and 10 on x86 and SPARC platforms.

Is Sun xVM Ops Center only for management of virtualized environments?

No. Sun xVM Ops Center is designed to be a world-class data center automation tool and is derived from two tools (N1SM and Sun Connection Satellite) used to manage hundreds of data centers where often little virtualization technology is yet in use. We do expect that by adding active hypervisor management to Sun xVM Ops Center, we will help introduce many of those customers to an easier route to begin virtualizing their environments.

How do Solaris OS Containers work with Sun xVM?

Solaris OS Containers remain the exemplary solution for customers looking for high-performance and low-overhead OS virtualization. Solaris OS Containers and Sun xVM work together to provide flexibility and choice in virtualization technologies. Expect to see announcement about new Solaris OS Container capabilities in the near future. Sun xVM Ops Center is designed to provide a unified management interface for both Sun xVM Server and Solaris OS Containers.

Will Sun Open Source Sun xVM?

Sun will launch www.openxvm.org, an open source community for developers building next-generation data center virtualization and management technologies. Please sign-up for one of the email or messaging services available on the site. Additionally, you can find links to blogs from members of our team and read the latest thinking and plans on our direction.
