The IOUG vSIG Combining VMware and Oracle Virtualization Experts

The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) virtualization Special Interest Group (vSIG) is combining the top virtualization expertise in the Oracle and VMware ecosystems under one umbrella.  This allows members to leverage the knowledge from both ecosystems.  VMware with 81+ % of the virtualization market brings significant virtualization expertise and experience from the market leader.  Numerous VMware customers are running tens of thousands of virtualized servers.  VMware contains a tremendous amount of very large virtual datacenter management knowledge.   Oracle has entered the virtualization market and is now offering the Oracle VM to it's technology stack.

There is no other organization that can combine the top virtualization experts with the top Oracle database experts into one knowledge space.  With the tremendous growth of the virtualization of Oracle databases and applications, every DBA and application owner looking at the future should be a member of this SIG.
