System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Oracle performs testing of its Oracle Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Oracle Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems.
For information about Oracle support for Oracle Java System products in virtualized environments, see the Oracle GlassFish Server Virtualization Support matrix.
