Preface

Oracle VM environments can be built on both x86-64bit and SPARC hardware. Even though much of the content is generic and applicable to both architectures, you should keep in mind that this document focuses on the secure deployment of Oracle VM on x86 hardware platforms. Additional guidelines for the SPARC architecture can be found in the Oracle Technical White Paper entitled Secure Deployment of Oracle VM Server for SPARC, which can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/secure-ovm-sparc-deployment-294062.pdf
