Consolidation of enterprise applications from multiple small servers onto larger servers has become a proven means to reduce costs and better manage system resource utilization. When combined with breakthrough multi-threading UltraSPARC IV processor technology introduced in Sun's midrange server platforms, customers have a dynamic proposition of creating a secure, consolidated infrastructure on low-cost server platforms. This paper demonstrates how Solaris Containers deployed onto a midrange Sun Fire server platform enables an organization to effectively consolidate applications onto a single system while maintaining predictable service levels and security isolation.
