Deploying Sun Java Enterprise System on the Sun Fire T2000 Server Using Solaris Containers

Overview

Improving the manageability and efficiency of enterprise infrastructure services poses a significant challenge to many organizations. The problem is compounded by the proliferation of individual servers used to run key enterprise applications including directory, portal, identity, mail, and calendar services. A recent Gartner report indicates that the power, space, and heat requirements of rackmounted servers are limiting growth and cost efficiency among 80 percent of enterprise data centers. Consolidating enterprise infrastructure services that run on multiple servers to the Sun Fire T2000 platform using the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) and Solaris Containers can simplify management, improve performance, and increase the efficiency of delivering enterprise infrastructure services.
