On Jan. 27 Oracle announced it had finalized its acquisition of Sun. In doing so it adds a number of open source darlings to its portfolio, MySQL, Java and VirtualBox to mention just a few.

Now that Oracle has acquired VirtualBox, what does this mean for the virtualization market?

No time has been wasted in rebranding the Sun websites and products that now come under the Oracle umbrella.

Most notably the MySQL website totally separates the MySQL’s commercial arm from the community site. And unsurprisingly, the Sun website redirects entirely to Oracle’s home page.

The reworking of the VirtualBox logo to include the Oracle brand is much more subtle and unobtrusive. This may be telling of Oracle’s future plans for VirtualBox. Unlike many of Sun’s products (ahem, MySQL), VirtualBox clearly stands out as a foothold into a new market for Oracle, the same as Sun’s hardware division.

Oracle’s move into the virtualization market will undoutedly stir things up. We can expect VirtualBox to be driven hard to assert Oracle’s new position in this maturing marketplace.

For sure, Oracle will certainly be a more agressive competitor than Sun.

Stealth startup Makara is launching publicly tonight with its cloud-based application deployment and management platform. Formerly known as WebappVM, Makara has raised angel funding from Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. The startup also raised $6 million last year from Shasta Ventures and Sierra Ventures.

Rather than offer a system management software designed for traditional application environments to the cloud, Makara’s cloud-based platform leverages the virtual layer to allow developers to rapidly deploy, scale and monitor applications in cloud environments. The product, which is self-service and self-managing, is available for free on its site.

The startup’s platform allows developers to deploy new or existing web applications to a public or private cloud with no code changes. Once the application is deployed, developers can control the application runtime and have cluster-wide visibility into end user response times end-to-end through the entire stack. Makara’s offering supports Java, Flex, PHP, JBoss and Tomcat applications and runs on Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, Terremark vCloud Express, VMware ESX, VMware Workstation, VirtualBox and Xen. Makara faces competition from rPath.
