ORACLE SOLARIS 11.1
KEY BENEFITS
• First OS for clouds. Server, storage and

network virtualization. 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

TM

for Oracle Deployments

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,
