Virtualization was the huge topic during Oracle OpenWorld 2007, and Sun Microsystems kept it going on Wednesday, using Oracle's own show to announce its own virtualization tool to compete with it.

Sun said yesterday it will spend at least $2 billion towards supporting xVM, the company's own virtualization software offering that its executive vice president of software, Rich Green, described as a "complete suite of data center automation technology,"

"Our engagement with the community is not something we take lightly," Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz said during the keynote. "It is in every way the foundation of our company."
