Energy Efficiency Strategies: Sun Server Virtualization Technology | 2007-08-01 | Sun Microsystems |
| Virtualization technology is a key to transforming an IT organization's server, storage, and network devices into a shared, global pool of resources. This can help reduce space, power, and cooling requirements while simultaneously helping make datacenters more flexible and agile. The two server virtualization technologies discussed in this paper - Solaris Containers and Logical Domains - are of particular importance because of the low overhead they impose on the host server platform. Solaris Containers abstracts a single Solaris OS instance into multiple containers, giving the appearance of a dedicated OS instance to each container. Solaris Containers is an excellent virtualization technology when a number of applications can run on the same OS instance.

Sun Datapath Policies for Disks and Disk Arrays | 2007-08-01 | Sun Microsystems |
| This paper contains policies for disk and disk array implementations. This paper is limited to datapath interfaces and does not address policies related to physical interfaces or management interfaces independent from the datapath. The software considered includes drivers for the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) version 9 and later, and management applications that issue SCSI, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI commands. Although disks and arrays implement many standard interfaces, there are still numerous problems with lack of interoperability. These areas of non-interoperability stem from gaps in standards, standards that have changed over time, overlapping standards, standards that do not meet the needs of the industry, and differing interpretations of the standards.
