Channel Strategies for the CIOOracle irritates Java world
Oracle set off a firestorm in the Java community last week when it posted a Java 7 support
policy that stated explicitly that the new
Java 7 JDK would not be supported on non-Oracle virtualization platforms. In theory, that means
that new Java apps running on market leading VMware or up-and-coming Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors
will be out in the cold, at least vis-à-vis Oracle support. Oracle picked up the popular Java
programming language franchise when it bought Sun Microsystems last year.

Researchers plan off-grid data centers
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority hopes to build two completely energy
self-sufficient data centers with help from Clarkson University, Hewlett-Packard and AMD.
The data center duo — one will be in wind-rich upstate New York, the other in a sunnier clime — will use solar and wind power and forgo any link back to the electric grid, according to NYSERDA.
