Objective:
Key features in Oracle Solaris 11.
1. Virtualize everything.
- Extremely fast with no overhead over performance, zones can be used as an boundary for Solaris and other applications.
- Perfect OS for clouds environments, Virtualize all the data center topology into single oracle system with built-in flow control, you control the usage of the network(Network virtulization).
2. Benefit from integration inside and out.
- Optimized for oracle hardware and software.
- Foundation for public, private clouds environments.
- ZFS: heart of OS.
- Technologies like IPS, live upgrade, boot environment, SMF, Zones are perfectly integrated.
3. Designed for rapid deployment.
- Automated installer is a new tool to deploy rapidly Solaris into bare-metal systems or zones or clouds in Data Center with automatic installers in Solaris 11.
- IPS is the new packaging system that allows fast dependable and system updates.

5. Extreme availability
- Solaris 11 is available across single system or multi-systems.
- key tech like FMA + SMF = predictive self healing of the system, medicating hardware and software before any chance of effecting application up-time.
