Oracle software provides mission-critical foundations for the majority of large enterprises worldwide. VMware technology simplifies IT environments so that Oracle IT administrators can leverage their storage, network, and computing resources to control costs and respond quickly to changing business needs. In the demanding world of Oracle application development and deployment, virtualized infrastructure brings quantifiable time-to-market and TCO improvements by reducing development hardware infrastructure costs and by allowing more developers and users to be hosted on existing and future industry standard hardware.

Since Oracle Database is one of the most commonly virtualized applications, VMware invests a great deal of work towards optimizing its performance.
