- Utility Tools for Management of Solaris Containers
- The Solaris 10 Operating System introduced zone-oriented virtualization and partition models on the Solaris platform. These models require zone-specific performance measurements to instrument zones at the system level. Moreover, applications and services are hosted within the isolated environment provided by the zones. How these applications perform needs to be inspected...

- Horizontal Scaling on a Vertical System Using Zones in the Solaris 10 OS
- Multithreaded applications scale well on the new Chip MultiThreading CMT systems like the Sun Fire T1000/T2000 and V490 servers. Carriers and service providers can consolidate the back-end systems using CMT and multithreading. However, some applications are single-threaded, which will always provide an obstacle to performance and scalability. The Solaris 10...

- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Solaris 10 on x86
- Sun Microsystems has positioned Solaris 10 on x86 (written Solaris 10/x86) as an alternative to Linux. On the surface, Sun appears to have a reasonable story to spin around Solaris 10/x86 in comparing it to Linux. Sun hypes its allegedly lower support costs, the Solaris feature set and indemnification. However,...
