Brown Forman Corporation

We plan to use virtualization to push consolidation to the limit and decrease our datacenter footprint by 50%. 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.
