Organizations modernizing their data center infrastructure are increasingly adopting software-defined technologies to improve flexibility, scalability, and operational efficiency. At the same time, many enterprises are evaluating alternatives to traditional virtualization stacks and proprietary storage systems to reduce cost, simplify operations, and avoid infrastructure lock-in.

Oracle Virtualization provides an enterprise virtualization platform based on open technologies such as Oracle Linux KVM and the oVirt project. This enables organizations to deploy scalable virtualization environments while benefiting from open standards and enterprise support.

In this article, we highlight an integration option between Oracle Virtualization and StorPool Storage, a high-performance software-defined storage platform designed for demanding production environments. This integration demonstrates how customers can pair Oracle’s virtualization platform with a distributed block storage solution capable of delivering strong performance and reliability for virtual machine workloads. Together, these technologies can support a modern, software-defined infrastructure stack built on commodity hardware and supported enterprise software.
