Oracle Solaris 10 Containers
We're pleased to introduce Oracle Solaris 10 Containers, a product that helps consolidate your existing production workloads running on Oracle Solaris 10 onto new more cost efficient systems. Oracle Solaris 10 Containers allow you to simply lift your Oracle Solaris 10 environment and shift them to a Container on top of a system running Oracle Solaris 11. This way the workload can keep on running in the Oracle Solaris 10 environment it was certified against, while getting the best from the Oracle Solaris 11 kernel and the latest hardware running underneath it. Additionally, Oracle Premier Support for this product gives access to the latest Oracle Solaris 10 patches, protecting your investment while running in the most optimal and secure way. Still left with questions see the FAQ.
