    Perspectives of Innovations, Economics & Business, Volume 8, Issue 2, 201 1 EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE OF SOLARIS TRUSTED EXTENSIONS USING CONTAINERS TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE OF GENTI DACI SOLARIS TRUSTED EXTENSIONS USING CONTAINERS TECHNOLOGY Faculty of Information Technology Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania UDC: 004.45 Key words: Solaris Containers. Abstract: Server and system administrators have been concerned about the techniques on how to better utilize their computing resources. Today, there are developed many technologies for this purpose, which consists of running multiple applications and also multiple operating systems on the same hardware, like VMWARE, Linux-VServer, VirtualBox, Xen, etc. These systems try to solve the problem of resource allocation from two main aspects: running multiple operating system instances and virtualizing the operating system environment. Our study presents an evaluation of scalability and performance of an operating system virtualization technology known as Solaris Containers, with the main objective on measuring the influence of a security technology known as Solaris Trusted Extensions. Solaris. We will study its advantages and disadvantages and also the overhead that it introduces to the scalability of the system’s main advantages. ISSN: 1804 -0527 (online) 1804 -0519 (print) Vol.8 (2), PP. 63 -69 Introduction administration because there are no multiple operating system instances in a system. During the latest years, a lot of projects have been looking on virtualizing operating system Operating systems environments, such as FreeBSD Jail, Linux- VServer, Virtuozzo etc. This virtualization technique is based in using only one underlying Solaris/OpenSolaris are Operating Systems operating system kernel. Using this paradigm the performing as the main building blocks of computer user has the possibility to run multiple applications systems; they provide the interface between user in isolation from each other.

  • The Server Virtualization Landscape, Circa 2007
    ghaff@ illuminata.com Copyright © 2007 Illuminata, Inc. single user license Gordon R Haff Illuminata, Inc. TM The Server Virtualization Bazaar, Circa 2007 Inspired by both industry hype and legitimate customer excitement, many Research Note companies seem to have taken to using the “virtualization” moniker more as the hip phrase of the moment than as something that’s supposed to convey actual meaning. Think of it as “eCommerce” or “Internet-enabled” for the Noughts. The din is loud. It doesn’t help matters that virtualization, in the broad sense of “remapping physical resources to more useful logical ones,” spans a huge swath of Gordon Haff technologies—including some that are so baked-in that most people don’t even 27 July 2007 think of them as virtualization any longer. Personally licensed to Gordon R Haff of Illuminata, Inc. for your personal education and individual work functions. Providing its contents to external parties, including by quotation, violates our copyright and is expressly forbidden. However, one particular group of approaches is capturing an outsized share of the limelight today. That would, of course, be what’s commonly referred to as “server virtualization.” Although server virtualization is in the minds of many inextricably tied to the name of one company—VMware—there are many companies in this space. Their offerings include not only products that let multiple virtual machines (VMs) coexist on a single physical server, but also related approaches such as operating system (OS) virtualization or containers. In the pages that follow, I offer a guide to today’s server virtualization bazaar— which at first glance can perhaps seem just a dreadfully confusing jumble.

  • Virtual Containers: Asset Management Best Practices and Licensing Considerations
    Virtual Containers: Asset Management Best Practices and Licensing Considerations Virtual containers have seen tremendous adoption and growth within all industries. However, in terms of IT asset management, cont- ainers are not being managed and are an unknown area of risk for many of our clients. Because it is a newer technology, there is very little information about managing containers and how to address the emerging SAM & ITAM challenges they bring. Due to this lack of public information, Anglepoint has published this whitepaper on navigating the world of containers, with an empha- sis on asset management and licensing. We will cover everything from the history of containers, to what containers are, the benefits of containers, asset management best practices, and some publisher-specific licensing considerations. A BRIEF HISTORY OF VIRTUAL CONTAINERS The first proper containers came from the Linux world as LXC (LinuX Containers) in 2008. However, it wasn’t until 2013 that containers entered the IT public consciousness, when Docker came onto the scene with Enterprise usage in mind. Even then, though, it was more of an enthusiast’s technology. In 2015, Google released and open sourced Kubernetes which manages and ‘orchestrates’ containers. However, it wasn’t until 2017 that Docker and Kubernetes had matured enough to be considered for production use within corporate environments. 2017 also saw VMware, Microsoft, and Amazon beginning to support and offer solutions for Kubernetes and Docker on their top-tier cloud infrastructure. WHAT IS A CONTAINER? Often, people conflate the term ‘container’ with multiple technologies that make up the container ecosystem. Let’s look at what a modern container is at the most fundamental level.

  • System Virtualization Support in Sun Java System Products
    SystemVirtualization Support in Sun Java System Products October 2009 This document is maintained by Sun Java System team. Software Products Covered by this Statement This document summarizes Sun support for Sun Java System products when used in conjunction with system virtualization products and features. It applies to Sun products contained in the following Sun Java System suites: ■ Sun GlassFish Portfolio ■ Sun Java Application Platform Suite ■ Sun Java Identity Management Suite ■ Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite ■ Sun B2B Suite ■ Sun ESB Suite ■ Sun MDM Suite ■ Sun Java Web Infrastructure Suite ■ Sun Java Communications Suite Refer to the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) and Communications Suite product pages for more information on these suites. The Sun Java Availability Suite and Solaris Cluster are not addressed in this support statement. Refer to the Solaris Cluster product information for further details on Solaris Cluster's support for operating system virtualization. Introduction A core capability of system virtualization offerings is the ability to execute multiple operating system (OS) instances on shared hardware. Functionally, an application deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems. System Resource Sizing The combination of being able to deploy multiple OS instances and applications on a single system and the ease by which system resources can be allocated to OS instances increases the likelihood of realizing undersized environments for your applications.
