Solaris Containers

Overview

Safely consolidate multiple applications onto one system and increase your utilization rates with the advanced functionality of Solaris 10. Run Solaris 8, Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 applications in Containers on the latest systems and save on power, space, cooling, administrative, and support costs.

With the escalating costs of managing your vast networks of servers and software components, you're looking for new ways to reduce IT infrastructure costs and better manage service levels. Consolidating multiple applications onto a single system means changing the way they're deployed, and this can be a very expensive solution. And that's where Virtualization and the Solaris Operating System comes in. Solaris Containers, part of a comprehensive offering of Sun virtualization technologies which includes Logical Domains (LDoms), uses virtualization to allow you to maintain the one-application-per-server deployment model, while sharing hardware resources.
