Solaris Zones: Operating System Support for Server Consolidation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A growing number of users are interested in improving the utilization of their computing resources through consolidation and aggregation. Consolidation is already common in mainframe environments, where technology to support running multiple applications and even operating systems on the same hardware has been in development since the late 1960’s. Such technology is now becoming an important differentiator in other markets (such as Unix/Linux servers), both at the low end (virtual web hosting) and high end (traditional data center server consolidation).

Solaris Zones: Operating System Support for Consolidating Commercial Workloads
Server consolidation, which allows multiple workloads to run on the same system, has become increasingly important as a way to improve the utilization of computing resources and reduce costs. Consolidation is common in mainframe environments, where technology to support running multiple workloads and even multiple operating systems on the same hardware has been evolving since the late 1960’s. T...
متن کاملArchitecture of ROAFTS/Solaris: A Solaris-Based Middleware for Real-Time Object-Oriented Adaptive Fault Tolerance Support
Middleware implementation of various critical services required by large-scale and complex real-time applications on top of COTS operating system is currently an approach of growing interests. Its main goal is to enable significant reduction in the complexity of application system design and implementation by separating the concerns of the application designer for the application functionality ...
متن کاملThe Necessity for Hardware QoS Support for Server Consolidation and Cloud Computing
Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are ubiquitous in most of today’s computing fields. Although they provide noticeable benefits in terms of performance, cost and power efficiency, they also introduce some new issues. In this paper we analyze how the interference from Virtual Private Servers running in other cores is a significant component of performance unpredictability and can threaten the attainme...
متن کاملPARMON: a portable and scalable monitoring system for clusters
Workstation/PC clusters have become a cost-effective solution for high performance computing. C-DAC’s PARAM 10000 (or OpenFrame, internal code name) is a large cluster of high-performance workstations interconnected through low-latency and high bandwidth networks. The management and control of such a huge system is a tedious and challenging task since workstations/PCs are typically designed to ...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of the recent Linux and Solaris kernel architectures
The paper compares core kernel architecture and functionality of two modern open source systems. The subsystems examined are scheduling, memory management, and file system architecture. These subsystems are common to any operating system (not just Unix and Unix-like systems), and they tend to be the most wellunderstood components of the operating system. One of the more interesting aspects conc...
