"Open for business: The value of Open Source Software in transaction processing" is a paper written by Jim Norton for Amadeus. In his ComputerWorld blog on the paper Loek Essers quotes Norton as having said, "By migrating to open source, enterprises can benefit from greater and swifter innovation, improved supplier responsiveness and enhanced systems accessibility and support." Add to that the comfort level the new generation of IT personnel have in working with open source solutions, not to mention the expected estimated 20 percent savings in licensing costs, and open source looks like a good bet to Norton, even for OLTP.

Stefan Hinker announces a revised version of his earlier paper, "Secure Deployment of Oracle VM Server for SPARC." The revision, he writes, was prompted by the novel hardware partitioning capabilities of the Oracle SPARC T4-4, which assigns full PCIe root complexes to domains, mimicking dynamic system domains. Hinker makes clear his intention, which was to address only those configuration options directly related to that platform and to virtualization. Hinker's Oracle technical white paper is downloadable as a pdf at the link above.
