Fast, intelligent provisioning capabilities for rapid service setup and maintenance. • Built-in virtualization. Lowest overhead, lowest latency solution on the market. Software defined networking drives network virtualization into the network infrastructure. Secure live migration with Oracle VM for SPARC and x86. • Scalable data management. Oracle Solaris ZFS, the default file system in Oracle Solaris 11, brings advanced storage features such as built-in deduplication, encryption, and thin provisioning to enterprise servers. Very low overhead Oracle Solaris ZFS snapshots tightly integrated with the IPS software packaging systems to deliver boot environments that allow fail-safe updates. • Advanced protection. Fully integrated security for users, applications, and devices while simplifying administration with fine-grained delegated management, implementing the latest security standards and continuing Oracle Solaris' leadership position as a highly secure operating system Oracle Solaris, the industry’s most widely deployed UNIXTM operating system, delivers mission critical cloud infrastructure with built-in virtualization, simplified software lifecycle management, cloud scale data management and advanced protection for public, private and hybrid cloud environments. Engineered together with Oracle Database, middleware, applications and, Oracle Solaris 11 delivers unique features to increase performance, streamline management and automate support for Oracle deployments. Best UNIX Oracle Solaris is co-engineered with the Oracle’s software and hardware to run Oracle’s enterprise applications, scalable systems, high-performance interconnects and optimized data center storage to achieve the highest performance and the best efficiency. To get the most out of your UNIX-based Oracle deployments Oracle recommends Oracle Solaris 11. This integrated design approach has led to many advances for Oracle environments on Oracle Solaris 11.1: • Performance boost for Oracle RAC with Kernel Mode Acceleration that improves throughput by up to 17% and provides more predictable performance. Lower memory utilization and better application performance through memory prediction technology which analyzes application needs to assign appropriate memory resources. Online resizing of Oracle Database System Global Area (SGA) enabled by the new optimized shared memory model. Oracle rigorously tests the entire Oracle stack so that customers with Oracle environments save time deploying and maintaining systems and reduce ongoing operational risk. Oracle Enterprise Manager consolidates the enterprise-wide management of traditional and virtualized IT deployments providing views into Oracle applications, middleware, database, Oracle Solaris, virtualization technologies on Oracle Sun servers, network and storage infrastructure. For example, Oracle Enterprise Manager monitors application network performance and identifies network bandwidth issues so system administrators can set network bandwidth priorities with Oracle Solaris 11 and restore network resources to critical applications. Oracle offers a number of Optimized Solutions to help you rapidly deploy and efficiently operate a range of Oracle environments. Designed, tested and tuned for optimal performance and availability, these solutions use Oracle's engineered systems,
