In my travels and customer discussions, this particular topic is coming up more and more frequently.
Now that EMC and VMware and other vendors are encouraging customers to seriously consider virtualizing their more critical applications, it's going to become a increasingly hot topic.
As a matter of fact, I'm now quite ready when I hear the familiar "well, Oracle doesn't support VMware".
Getting to the truth of why this actually might be has proven a bit difficult. It's not something the Oracle people really want to talk about.
In the meantime, I've put together a list of possible reasons why this could be, and offered a bit of commentary as to the thinking behind it.
So let's go take a look at what could possibly be behind this rather unproductive stance towards customers.
