It’s going to be as always pizza and drinks provided by our Sponsors. A special request from Meetups organisers: Please keep yours RSVPs up to date and let us know if you changed your mind even at very last minute (pizzas ordered 1h before a meeting).

The session detailed description is as following:
Title: Oracle's Virtualization Big Picture - The SUN, The Cloud and the Oracle software in-between

Description: There are some hot topics in the IT industry today, cloud-computing is the current buzzword, virtualization is the hot technology and of course Oracle has finalised acquisition of SUN this year. So what does all this mean....what's Oracle's strategy around the private and public cloud, how will SUN Solaris and Virtualization impact Oracle's Linux and Virtualization offerings? Please join Oracle's Dean Samuels as he answers all these questions and provides an insight into Oracle's product strategy around it's virtualization offering, Oracle VM.
