InMage Systems announced its support for Oracle VM, Oracle's server virtualization software. The InMage solution, DR-Scout, is a turnkey DR/business continuity software product that enables customers to protect their data in the event of a natural disaster or everyday application or server failure. It delivers continuous data protection at both the local data center and remote disaster recovery levels. With InMage's announced support for Oracle VM, enterprise customers are assured that their business critical data and applications running in an Oracle VM environment can be continuously protected.

Oracle VM server virtualization software supports both Oracle and non-Oracle applications. InMage's DR-Scout as well as key Oracle products including Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications are certified with Oracle VM.

"InMage recognizes that enterprise customers rely on Oracle to run their business and we are excited to extend our long-standing support for Oracle Database and Oracle Applications to include Oracle VM," said John Ferraro, CEO and President, InMage Systems. "Companies looking to virtualize their Oracle and non-Oracle Application Servers and Oracle Database on a consolidated platform will be able to continuously protect their business critical data. In the event of a disaster or operational failure, customers can rapidly restore data to any point in time, or to any bookmarked event utilizing our unique patented technology."

As a member of the Oracle Partner Network, InMage already supports various Windows configurations as well as Linux configurations that are part of the Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program, and has extended that support to include Oracle VM. This allows for improved utilization of server and storage resources. The combination of InMage DR-Scout and Oracle VM enables customers to achieve continuous data protection and optimal server and storage efficiencies in both Oracle and non-Oracle datacenter environments.

"Oracle VM extends the Oracle and InMage relationship into one of the most exciting and dynamic IT segments -- server virtualization," said Monica Kumar, senior director, Linux and Open Source Product Marketing, Oracle. "Oracle VM helps customers drive down the cost and complexity of their enterprise IT infrastructures, and integrates exceptionally well with InMage's DR-Scout solution."
