This paper demonstrates that the Sun Fire T1000 server using Solaris Containers technology can be used as an effective Web-tier consolidation platform. The Solaris Containers technology enables multiple web server applications to each run in their own isolated application execution environment on a single server. Resource management tools included with the Solaris Operating System enable resources such as CPUs and memory to be easily allocated to each zone, monitored, and dynamically adjusted to meet changing performance requirements. Using a single operating system can help reduce complexity and grant easier system administration. more>
