components for optimum performance. The philosophy there is, you want the
virtual machine to closely approximate the characteristics of the physical
one, including how it works and how it’s managed.
When I ran that concept past a pair of VMware marketing managers this
afternoon, they could not have disagreed any more pointedly with Oracle’s
basic philosophy. During a demonstration of VMware technologies including
vFabric, they explained why products like AppInsight, released last month,
present a more simplified dashboard for administrators of applications
deployed through cloud-based IaaS services.
