Sun Virtualization Customer Quotes

Brown-Forman Corporation

"In our opinion, the Solaris Operating System performs in a stellar fashion for 'heavy lift' applications. From a TCO standpoint, it was a bit of a no-brainer for us to choose Solaris Containers. We plan to use virtualization to push consolidation to the limit and decrease our datacenter footprint by 50 percent. The flexibility of Solaris Containers also allows us to create containers for on-the-fly sandbox space, providing a safe environment for experimenting and testing new SAP. "

--Mitch Zebrun, Lead Engineer, SAP Enterprise Software Administration, Brown-Forman Corporation

Commerzbank AG

Commerzbank AG is one of the largest banks in Germany, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main. Founded in 1870, today Commerzbank provides commerce banking, retail banking, and mortgaging to a wide variety of customers ranging from private accounts to global enterprise accounts.

As a Sun customer, Commerzbank AG has incorporated Solaris Containers and Solaris Cluster into the company's "Solaris Virtual Grid Services (SVGS)", a virtualization design for their IT environment. Each SVGS-cluster consists of 5 nodes where applications are installed in Solaris Containers and distributed according to their load profile to the nodes. With Solaris Cluster, Commerzbank AG has the possibility to move the Solaris Container among the nodes. This virtualization concept not only enabled Commerzbank AG to extend the utilization of their servers but also to implement a disaster recovery solution (between both datacenter) without extra cost. Commerzbank AG is planning to use LDoms.
