Description - Oracle Solaris 11 System Virtualization Essentials by Jeff Victor

Oracle Solaris 11 System Virtualization Essentials has been fully updated for Oracle 11 and is a complete, practical, and up-to-date guide to selecting, implementing, and applying today's Oracle virtualisation technologies to real-world business problems.

Four Oracle experts thoroughly cover current Oracle Solaris virtualisation options. They help you understand key use cases, including consolidation, asynchronous workloads, software development, testing/staging, workload mobility, legacy OS support, provisioning, scalability, fine-grained OS changes, and security. They also compare and address each leading approach to virtualisation: OS virtualisation, hypervisor-based virtual machines, and hardware partitioning.

The authors illuminate the use of virtualisation with many Oracle software applications and engineered systems, including SuperCluster, Secure Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure, Exalytics, Oracle Database, and security hardening scenarios.

Bringing together case study examples and in-the-trenches experience, this guide explains how to:
  • Leverage Oracle Solaris Zones to improve security, deployment, resource usage, and management
  • Use Logical Domains to deploy different versions of Oracle Solaris on SPARC systems
  • Maximise workload isolation on SPARC systems with Physical Domains
  • Use Oracle Solaris Zones to optimise workload efficiency and scalability
  • Improve data center flexibility with live migration
  • Develop and test software in heterogeneous environments with Oracle VM Virtual Box
  • Mix virtualisation technologies to maximise workload density
  • Migrate Solaris 10 workloads to new hardware via Solaris Zones
