Oracle releases Solaris 11

As then as OS virtualisation, Flierl said Solaris 11 could as well virtualise network resources.The system as well benefits from enhanced security; it allows system administrators to lock down infrastructure on which thousands of firms are running applications in a multi-tenanted public cloud environment. "This means that users can’t maliciously or accidently modify that environment in such a way as to cause damage to the whole infrastructure," said Flierl.Oracle has as well enhanced Solaris's database memory sharing, and it now provides a better health check and patch management of hardware and software infrastructure.Flierl said the improvements in Solaris 11 would be cross-platform, and available for Oracle's Sun-developed Sparc hardware and x86 systems.
