Sun has just acquired innotek: "Europe's leading high-tech software company specializing in PC virtualization technology and operating system design."

You can check out innotek's VirtualBox Open Source Edition at virtualbox.org.

You can also read Sun's announcement, and here's an independent review of the innotek acquisition.

In case you do a web search and run into other innoteks, note that the right one is "http://www.innotek.de/"

Where was I?

While I was away for meetings at Sun Microsystems's India Engineering Center, Eileen Alan of SDN channel posted a recent conversation I had with Kuldip Oberoi about Java DB and Apache Derby. I think Kuldip and I touched on a number of important topics about the technology, the business and Sun's general strategy behind Sun's Java DB work, and it is certainly very exciting to see the uptake by the user and developer community. It would be even more exciting as we see Java DB used for more and more database courses. I know Sun's Java DB (Apache / Derby) engineers are coming up with some very cool features and applications, too ... For a glimpse of what might be coming up, take a look at Rick Hillegas' "Saucer Separation" presentation given at ApacheCon (Atlanta, Nov. 2007) ... You might also want to check out the upcoming JavaME conference (Santa Clara, Jan. 2008) and check out JavaPolis (Anwerp, Dec. 2007), where there may be up to 4 Java DB related talks, Francois Orsini tells me. So, stay tuned, and in the meantime, don't forget to check out Orsini's blog!

Java Mobile and Java DB

Do you need a database for your smart phone or CDC application?

Listen to Rick Hillegas, Sun Senior Staff Engineer and Apache Derby developer, provide crisp and clear insights into uses of JavaDB. He also discusses release frequency, memory requirements, Java DB footprint and some very interesting Java DB survey results from JavaOne, including this one: Some 40% of users deploy Java DB in client-server mode. Some 60% in embedded mode.
